Cranfield, United Kingdom Cranfield University Full time
About the Role

We are seeking a highly skilled Research Fellow to join our team at Cranfield University's Air and Space Propulsion Institute. The successful candidate will have a strong background in fluid dynamic design and analysis of systems for space applications.

This is an exciting opportunity to contribute to research on a project supporting the development of systems for space applications as part of a team within the Centre for Propulsion and Thermal Power Engineering. The role will focus on the design and development of a launch pad, with a specific emphasis on quantifying and proposing design features to reduce the acoustic signature during launch.

The successful candidate will have a PhD in Aerospace Engineering or a related field, with demonstrable relevant experience and achievements in space system design, Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD), aero-thermodynamics of power and propulsion systems, heat and mass transfer, thermo-fluid systems simulation and programming.

Key responsibilities will include:

  • Design and development of launch pad systems
  • Computational fluid dynamic modelling and assessment of different architectures for acoustic signatures
  • Collaboration with the research team to achieve project goals
  • Composition of project deliverables and effective presentation of results

We are committed to creating a culture that values diversity, equality, and inclusion. We welcome applications from candidates who share our values and are passionate about contributing to our mission.
