Research Associate in high-fidelity mesh-free methods

A postdoctoral Research Associate position is available for an outstanding and ambitious individual to develop novel numerical methods for high-fidelity simulations of reacting and turbulent flows in complex geometries.

In this project you will develop a framework for optimising the accuracy, efficiency and resolving power of a high-order mesh-free method. You will use the new methods to perform fully resolved direct numerical simulations of turbulent combustion phenomena, with a particular focus on obtaining new fundamental understanding of bluff-body flame dynamics.

You should have, or be working towards, a PhD or equivalent in mathematics, physics, or engineering, specialising in computational fluid dynamics or a closely related discipline. Expertise in the development and analysis of numerical methods and code for research in fluid/continuum mechanics is essential. You should be capable of working under your own initiative. Excellent communication and organisational skills are also required.

The University of Manchester values a diverse workforce and welcomes applications from all sections of the community.

What you will get in return:

• Fantastic market leading Pension scheme
• Excellent employee health and wellbeing services including an Employee Assistance Programme
• Exceptional starting annual leave entitlement, plus bank holidays
• Additional paid closure over the Christmas period
• Local and national discounts at a range of major retailers
