3 weeks ago


Oxford, Oxfordshire, United Kingdom University of Oxford Full time
About the Role

This is an exciting opportunity for a highly motivated Postdoctoral Research Assistant to join the Oxford Turbine Research Facility (OTRF) team at the Oxford Thermofluids Institute. The successful candidate will contribute to the development of next-generation component technology and collaborate with industry partners to advance the state of the art in gas turbine cooling technologies.

The project will focus on examining the thermal performance of novel turbine blade cooling concepts using advanced IR measurement techniques. The candidate will be responsible for designing and assessing the thermal performance of various turbine blade geometries and cooling concepts, as well as designing a novel combustor simulator for the facility.

The ideal candidate will possess a relevant PhD/DPhil (or be near completion) and have proven experience in aerothermal experiments and/or turbine design. Experience in data analysis, design using FEA and CAD packages, and CFD is also desirable. Good time management, organization, and ability to work effectively in a team and individually are essential to deliver the project.

About You

We are looking for a highly motivated and experienced researcher who is passionate about aerothermal experiments and turbine design. The successful candidate will have a strong background in aerodynamics, heat transfer, and fluid mechanics, and be able to work effectively in a team environment. If you are interested in contributing to cutting-edge research and collaborating with industry partners, we encourage you to apply for this exciting opportunity.

What We Offer

The University of Oxford offers a dynamic and supportive research environment, with access to state-of-the-art facilities and a collaborative team of researchers. The successful candidate will have the opportunity to work on a high-profile project with significant impact on the aerospace industry, and contribute to the development of next-generation component technology.
