Job Summary
We are seeking a highly skilled Research Associate to join our team at Heriot-Watt University, working on the EPSRC-funded project REVOC - Towards smart manufacturing: Responsive Gas-Solid Vortex Chambers. The successful candidate will contribute to the development of compact, robust, and modular technology to intensify gas-solid processes underpinning industrial decarbonization.
About the Project
REVOC aims to introduce a new paradigm for controlling the structure of gas-solid vortices, enabling the optimization of mixing in gas-solid reactors. This technology has the potential to transform a powerful technology platform emerging in Europe and the US into a high-efficiency, low-capital solution for various industrial applications.
Key Responsibilities
- Design and test gas-solid vortex chambers, characterizing new prototypes.
- Establish experimental facilities, collaborating with technicians and industry partners.
- Develop and implement control systems for gas-solid vortex technology.
- Conduct flow visualization experiments (PIV) in gas-solid flows.
- Collaborate with computational scientists to validate models and optimize designs.
- Develop risk assessments, COSHH forms, and standard operating procedures.
- Present research and plans at advisory boards, meetings, and conferences.
- Disseminate research through publication of scientific papers and presentations.
Requirements
- Doctorate degree (PhD, EngD) in mechanical, industrial, or chemical engineering or a related field.
- Strong expertise in experimental flow mechanics.
- Ability to prototype, set, and test flow devices.
- Inter-personal skills, a can-do attitude, and a problem-solving mindset.
About the Environment
Heriot-Watt University has a strong reputation for world-class teaching and leading-edge research, making it one of the top UK universities for innovation, business, and industry. This position is based within the School of Engineering & Physical Sciences, which has a well-established international research reputation and close connections with the professional and industrial world of science, engineering, and technology.
What We Offer
The successful candidate will join a dynamic research group, xFlow - Complex Flow Technologies, led by Dr. Victor Francia. They will work alongside a computational PDRA, electrical and mechanical technicians, UGs students, and the project lead, contributing to the broader research group's activities and meetings.
