The Department of Aeronautics and Astronautics is seeking two postdoctoral researchers to join our Experimental Fluids laboratory to work on different projects

**Main roles and responsibilities**

You will carry out research aimed at developing fundamental understanding of fluid flows. Current projects on offer include,
- Momentum and scalar transport in turbulent boundary layers
- Aerodynamics and aeroacoustics of vortex-dominated flows
- Development of unique experimental facilities, diagnostics methods and data processing/assimilation techniques

You will be in an enviable position of carrying out unique measurements in state-of-the-art facilities to tackle important and exciting problems. Your specific project will be tailored to suit your interests/skills within above-mentioned topics and you will be collaborating with other researchers working on similar problems.

What do they need to do the role successfully (qualifications, experience, skills from the person specification)

You should have or be close to completing a PhD in experimental fluid mechanics where analysis of data is a strong component in addition to acquisition of data using different measurement techniques. Experience and knowledge in experimental/facility design as well as manufacturing and fabrication of models is critical. Strong communication and language skills, as evidenced by publications and presentations, are essential.
