3 weeks ago

Full time, Fixed-Term/Contract

Description

Location: Aston University Main Campus

Contract Type: Fixed Term (6 months)

Closing Date: 23.59 hours BST on Monday 20 May 2024

Interview Date: Wednesday 05 June 2024

We are seeking to appoint a Postdoctoral Research Associate sponsored by the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council. The successful applicant will work under the supervision of Dr Paul Griffiths on a project entitled "Developing an accurate non-Newtonian surface rheology model". This project aims to develop a mathematical model that can reliably reproduce experimental findings to better understand how to control the interfacial oxidation process observed in liquid metal flows.

The project will focus on the development of a numerical scheme that can accurately capture the two-way coupling between a liquid metal flow and an oxide layer. As such, it is expected that the successful candidate will have advanced knowledge of computational techniques used to solve two-phase fluid flow problems and, ideally, non-Newtonian flows. Informal inquiries are strongly encouraged and should be directed to: Dr Paul Griffiths (Senior Lecturer) -

The successful candidate should hold a PhD or equivalent in Fluid Mechanics with a proven track record of producing scientific output at the highest level, as evidenced by high-quality journal publications. The Research Associate will work within the vibrant environment of the Aston Fluids Group, part of the College of Engineering and Physical Sciences, at Aston University. The group conducts both fundamental and applied research in the fields of stability, turbulence and bio-fluids as well as other areas of fluid mechanics.

What we offer:

Aston University is a dynamic and vibrant campus located within Birmingham city centre, which has excellent transport links via bus or train.
Excellent training and development opportunities.
A generous annual leave scheme with 30 days bookable leave and a further 13 days of bank holiday and University closure days.

Great family-friendly policies.
On-site gym and pool with discounted staff membership available.
