Post-doctoral Fellowship in Lattice Boltzmann Modeling of Heat Transfer Processes

Job Details

The University of São Paulo's São Carlos School of Engineering (EESC-USP) is seeking a qualified individual for a postdoctoral position to work in a Thematic Project from São Paulo Research Foundation (FAPESP), named: "Fundamentals and Applications of High Performance Processes Involving Heat Transfer with Phase Change". This Thematic Project is coordinated by Professor Gherhardt Ribatski, from São Carlos School of Engineering, and the selected candidate will be supervised by Professor Luben Cabezas Gómez. also from EESC-USP. The registration deadline of applications will end on November 30, 2018.

The project aims at the development, computational implementation and evaluation of numerical simulation techniques with Lattice Boltzmann (LB) method for modeling the hydrodynamic and heat transfer processes that occur in liquid and gas-liquid flows with and without phase change in microchannels of high performance heat exchangers. For this, it is recommended that the candidate has appropriate knowledge in the simulation of transport phenomena with and without phase change with the LB method and has computational programming skills (C, C++, CUDA, Matlab); including experience in using numerical methods for development of computational tools using shared memory architectures (GPUs). Theoretical knowledge on kinetic theory of gases and modeling of multiphase flows are desirable.

Please e-mail a cover letter with justification of interest and research experience in the proposed topics, CV, and two recommendation letters, to be sent to lubencg@sc.usp.br.
The FAPESP scholarship value for PD position is R$ 7.373,10 per month. More information about the scholarship can be found in: www.fapesp.br/en/postdoc.
