Postdoctoral Research Assistant in Wind Energy

We’re looking for a full-time Postdoctoral Analysis Assistant to hitch the Environmental Fluid Mechanics Group on the Division of Engineering Science in central Oxford.  The submit is funded by the UKRI and is fixed-term till thirty first January 2026.

The profitable applicant will be a part of a analysis programme on the fluid mechanics of offshore renewable power. This position is targeted on the aerodynamics of wind generators and small teams of generators to know their efficiency in regular and unsteady move circumstances consultant of the offshore wind setting. You’ll contribute to the event of the analysis group’s numerical instruments resembling actuator line turbine and assist construction illustration fashions, in addition to contributing to the group’s total analysis efforts in rotor fluid mechanics.

It’s best to maintain a related PhD (or be close to completion) and have a powerful publication historical past. A robust background in computational fluid dynamics and wind turbine fluid mechanics along with the power to know the aerodynamics of wind power era and atmospheric flows is important.

Casual enquiries could also be addressed to Dr Christopher Vogel (e-mail: [email protected])

Solely on-line functions obtained earlier than noon on nineteenth April 2024 may be thought-about. You can be required to add a protecting letter/supporting assertion, together with a short assertion of analysis pursuits (describing how previous expertise and future plans match with the choice standards of the marketed place), CV and the main points of two referees as a part of your on-line software.

The Division holds an Athena Swan Bronze award, highlighting its dedication to selling girls in Science, Engineering and Know-how.
