Offer Description
This post represents an exciting opportunity for an ambitious individual to join a team of staff in Keele University’s Faculty of Natural Sciences.
The successful candidate will work on thermoacoustic instabilities in combustion systems. Such instabilities lead to dangerously high pressure amplitudes and inhibit the development of low-pollution combustion technologies.
This ESR position (early-stage researcher) is offered on "Nonlinear coupling of thermoacoustic modes modelled by a Green's function approach". The key duties and responsibilities of the position are to obtain physical insight into the nonlinear coupling of thermoacoustic modes in a combustion system and to identify key parameters responsible for mode-switching.
You will have a Bachelor's degree (or equivalent) in mathematics, physics or theoretical mechanics as well as a solid background in fluid mechanics and applied mathematics. Analytical and numerical skills are essential.
The position is for 7 months. It will be under the supervision of Prof. Maria Heckl (m.a.heckl@maths.keele.ac.uk), supported by her colleagues of the Physics group.
Applicants must also satisfy the eligibility rules stipulated by the Horizon2020 Guidelines of the European Commission. These can be found in section 3 of https://ec.europa.eu/research/participants/data/ref/h2020/other/guides_for_applicants/h2020-guide-appl-msca-itn_en.pdf
In particular, applicants must be mobile and at an early stage of their career.
Requirements
- A bachelor degree or equivalent in mathematics, physics or theoretical mechanics
- Experience with fluid mechanics and applied mathematics
- Aptitude with oral and written communication in English
