Research Fellow in Computational Aerodynamics

Location: Highfield Campus

Salary:  £29,301 per annum

Full Time Fixed Term (until 30/06/2018)

Closing Date:  Monday 31 July 2017

Interview Date:  To be confirmed

Reference: 898217AK

An EPSRC-funded Research Fellow position is available for computational research into the unsteady aerodynamics of wings in extreme conditions. The project aims to understand stall behaviour of wings, taking into account heaving motions, sweep and tip effects. The main tools will be direct and large-eddy simulation and the successful candidate will have substantial previous experience in this area, including published work using advanced simulation methods. The large-scale numerical simulations will be run on massively parallel supercomputers requiring a high level of competence in parallel programming.

The project provides an opportunity to work on a fundamental problem of aerodynamics, with direct relevance to the aerospace industry. As well as carrying our research to the highest standards, the successful applicant will be expected to work as part of a team and to prepare reports and presentations for project meetings and publications for international journals.

Informal enquiries may be made to Professor Neil Sandham n.sandham@soton.ac.uk, but applications are only accepted via the online application process.

The closing date for this position is 31^st July 2017.
