About the role

This position of Research Associate (postdoc) is part of a collaborative research project funded by the EPSRC (UK) and NSF (USA), whose goal is the characterization and modelling of the turbulent flow physics that emerge when two (or more) neighbouring wind farms interact with each other, and with the surrounding atmospheric boundary layer. Understanding these physics is critical for
