The finalist has been selected. New applications will not be considered.
Overview:
The Computational Energy and
Propulsion Lab (CEPL) in the School of Aeronautics and Astronautics at Purdue
University invites application for a post-doctoral researcher
to conduct research in the area of turbulent combustion modeling. The main
responsibility is to improve an in-house turbulent combustion modeling code and
to perform high-fidelity parallel simulations of a laboratory-scale combustion
rig. Reduced-order combustion models will then be constructed by using the obtained
high-fidelity simulation data that can be used for combustion engine design and
optimization. The position is available for one year, with a possibility for
renewal up to two additional years contingent upon satisfactory performance and
funding. The anticipated starting date is January 2020.
Qualification:
Individuals with expertise in turbulent
combustion modeling and a Ph.D. in relevant fields (including but not limited
to mechanical engineering, chemical engineering, and aerospace engineering) are
encouraged to apply. All candidates must have strong, demonstrated research capability,
be a good team player, excellent English written and spoken communication
skills, and a Ph.D. in a relevant field, completed within the last three years
or soon to be completed.
Highly qualified candidates are
sought with the following qualities and expertise:
·
Expertise in CFD simulations for
turbulence with RANS and/or LES.
·
Expertise in turbulent combustion
models (e.g., transported PDF method,
flamelet models).
·
Experience in high-performance
computing and data analysis.
·
Knowledge in chemical kinetics and
fundamentals of turbulence and combustion.
·
Advanced computer programming skills
in FORTRAN and/or C/C++ and MPI parallelization.
