Postdoctoral Research Associate in Aerospace Engineering: UAV or Sports Aerodynamics
1 month ago
We are seeking a highly skilled and motivated Postdoctoral Research Associate to join our team in the School of Engineering & Physical Sciences at Heriot-Watt University. The successful candidate will be part of a dynamic research group focused on advancing research in aerospace engineering, with a particular emphasis on UAV and sports aerodynamics.
About the RoleThe Postdoctoral Research Associate will be responsible for managing projects related to computational modelling and experimental validation in aerodynamics. The successful candidate will work under the supervision of Professor Bert Blocken and will be expected to contribute to the development of research projects, collaborate with other team members, and represent the research group at meetings and conferences.
Key Responsibilities- Manage projects in terms of simulation methodology, running simulations, and curating data.
- Provide input for wind tunnel design and testing and use output for high-quality CFD validation.
- Be an innovator, developing and expanding research projects over time, and presenting novel ideas.
- Collaborate in and/or lead the preparation of scientific peer-reviewed articles and present papers, posters, and talks.
- Act as a source of information and advice to other members of the group on CFD simulation techniques and wind tunnel testing.
- Represent the research group, Aerospace Engineering, and Heriot-Watt University at meetings and conferences.
- Mentor junior members of the group (PhD students or undergraduate project research students).
The successful candidate will hold a PhD in Aerospace Engineering, Mechanical Engineering (specialisation Fluid Mechanics), Civil Engineering (specialisation Fluid Mechanics), or a related field. They will be expected to demonstrate competence and success in their previous research, as evidenced by publications in high-quality peer-reviewed journals. The candidate will also be required to have excellent communication skills, including the ability to lead the writing of journal articles, present research proposals and results, and represent the research group at meetings.
About Our TeamThe School of Engineering & Physical Sciences is a community of over 340 staff and around 3,000 students across our three campuses in Scotland, Dubai, and Malaysia. We are a leading international institution in education, research, and the application of knowledge to benefit society globally. Our research ranges from fundamental sciences through to engineering applications, all of which are supported by strong external funding. We have over 150 full-time academic staff who drive this research activity and are based in 5 research institutes.
We provide world-class education to our students across six undergraduate programmes: Chemistry; Physics; Electrical, Electronic & Computer Engineering; Chemical & Process Engineering; Mechanical Engineering; and Brewing & Distilling. We also offer a range of postgraduate taught programmes. In the recent The Times and Sunday Times Good University Guide 2023, our Chemical Engineering is the 6th in the UK (the 2nd in Scotland), Aeronautical & Manufacturing Engineering is the 7th in the UK (the 1st in Scotland), and General Engineering is the 9th in the UK (the 1st in Scotland).
We are seeking an experienced and leading academic researcher to lead and develop research and teaching activities in areas related to advanced materials, aerospace, or solid mechanics. The post holder will be line managed by the Head of the Institute for Mechanical, Process and Energy Engineering (IMPEE) and assigned teaching responsibilities by the Mechanical Engineering Senior Programme Director.
