The Gas Turbine Transmission Research Centre (G2TRC) requires a Senior Research Fellow to support multi-phase thermofluid experimental research across the group. G2TRC has a large intra-disciplinary team of researchers, engineers, technicians, support staff and academics who work together to deliver research from fundamental to high level TRL. 

The G2TRC and faculty have an excellent international reputation for high quality theoretical and experimental research funded by EU, EPSRC, BEIS, Innovate-UK and directly with industry. The faculty is also dedicated to equality, diversity, and inclusion; it was the first engineering department in the UK to be awarded an Athena Swan Gold award for advancing gender equality in higher education. Applications from all backgrounds are encouraged. 

The role holder will work across projects that require multiphase fluids experimental analysis and visualisation, as well as heat transfer experimental analysis. The role holder may also be expected to work across solid mechanics and dynamics projects to support experimental development within the group. The role holder will be responsible for ensuring the programme of work is carried out in a robust, well-managed and well-documented manner.

Candidates must hold a PhD and industrial experience, in engineering or a related subject area, with a major component in Thermofluids and experimentation. The ability to work in a team, lead both internally and externally, and interact/collaborate actively and professionally with industrial partners is essential. It is essential that the successful applicant is able to actively support knowledge exchange and transfer activities between industrial partners and the University of Nottingham.
