Job content

We have two available Research Assistant/Associate positions in the Department of Engineering, to work on modelling of gas turbine combustion. One will focus on thermoacoustics and the other on emissions and ignition, and both will use Computational Fluid Dynamics and low-order modelling.

The post holders will be located in Central Cambridge, Cambridgeshire, UK.

The key responsibilities and duties are to perform simulations and develop models, analyse the results in the context of modern theories, present to sponsors and partners, and prepare publications.

Applicants must have a PhD degree in Engineering or related topics.
