Newcastle upon Tyne, United Kingdom Newcastle University Full time

**Salary**:
**Research Assistant**: £31,396 to £32,982 per annum, pro rata

**Research Associate**: £33,966 to £41,732 per annum, pro rata

Newcastle University is a great place to work, with excellent benefits. We have a generous holiday package; plus the opportunity to buy more, great pension schemes and a number of health and wellbeing initiatives to support you.

**Closing Date**: 02 January 2023

The Role

The entire project aims to develop, implement, and evaluate skin-friction drag reduction devices within our recently developed machine intelligence framework to enable new approaches to wall-turbulence control. This new form of intelligent fluid-flow control will be used to develop practical wall-turbulence control strategies that can rapidly and autonomously optimise the aerodynamic surface with mínimal power input whilst being adaptive to changes in flow speed. This new capability will open up the opportunity to discover new ways to tame wall-turbulence and exploit the latest drag reduction mechanisms to generate significant levels of turbulent skin-friction drag reduction.

You will work as part of a larger team across Newcastle University and Imperial College London on a funded £1.4M EPSRC grant, which is supported by Airbus, the Aerospace Technology Institute, and the Department for Transport.

You will be expected to write progress reports and prepare results for publication, always ensuring the validity and reliability of data with the requirement to present your findings to colleagues and contribute to bids for research grants. You will be naturally collaborative, and keen to develop contacts within the University and beyond to promote the reputation of the Group, the Department, and the University. Additionally, you may be required to provide guidance to PhD students and assist with the supervision of Undergraduate and Postgraduate students, as required.

You should hold a PhD (or nearing completion) in actuator development, or equivalent research. Industrial or commercial experience is highly desirable. Additionally, you should hold a First-Class honours degree in Engineering, Applied Physics or a related discipline.

The appointment is fixed-term, tenable for 12 months in the first instance and is offered on a full-time basis (37 hours per week).

We are committed to building and maintaining a fair and inclusive working environment and we would be happy to discuss arrangements for flexible and/or blended working.
