4 weeks ago
We are seeking an exceptional 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 knowledge in aerospace engineering, with a specific emphasis on UAV and sports aerodynamics.
About the RoleThe Postdoctoral Research Associate will work under the supervision of Professor Bert Blocken, leading research in computational modelling and experimental validation in aerodynamics. The ideal candidate will have a strong background in aerospace engineering, mechanical engineering, or a related field, with expertise in CFD modelling and wind tunnel testing.
Key Responsibilities- Manage projects related to simulation methodology, running simulations, and curating data.
- Provide input for wind tunnel design and testing, and utilize output for high-quality CFD validation.
- Develop and expand research projects over time, 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).
- Hold a PhD in Aerospace Engineering, Mechanical Engineering (specialisation Fluid Mechanics), Civil Engineering (specialisation Fluid Mechanics), or a related field.
- Demonstrate competence and success in previous research, e.g., as judged by publications in high-quality peer-reviewed journals.
- Articulate a clear vision for development of independent research activity.
- Demonstrate experience and regular use of Ansys CFD, OpenFOAM, or a similar CFD code.
- Possess 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.
- Show an ability to work supportively with other academicians and with technical staff in a laboratory environment, and to supervise and mentor junior co-workers.
- Have proven HPC skills.
The 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, committed to excellence with a purpose. Our research ranges from fundamental sciences through to engineering applications, all of which are supported by strong external funding.
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.
