Graduate Research Assistantship and Postdoc Position are available at Washington
State University (Pullman, WA) in two different projects: ship drag reduction
and cryogenic vortex tubes. Besides computational work, there are opportunities
for experimental studies. Possible starting dates are January 2019 and May 2019. 

US citizenship is strongly preferred.

If interested in these positions, send your CV with references, publications (if
any), citizenship, and a letter describing your experience/interests to Prof.

We are looking for a highly motivated individual with a Ph.D. in 
chemical/mechanical engineering (preferably) obtained recently (less than 5 
years ago) to work with a diverse team of engineers and scientists on a highly 
visible project involving the modeling and simulation of processes related to 
rare earth elements (REE) extraction and purification from coal/coal-
byproducts. We have conducted research on this project for the past two years
and already developed a methodology to simulated complex fluid-particle flow sys
systems. See the following book chapter for details of our previous work: 
https://doi.org/10.1016/bs.ache.2017.12.001

The ideal candidate must demonstrate knowledge and mastering of the use and 
development of CFD numerical tools to model reacting fluid-particle flows by 
providing supporting publications and letters of recommendations. The selected 
candidate must be able to work with our large REE-related research group, 
especially the experimental team in order to obtain related chemical reaction 
data needed for our CFD modeling efforts. Our primary CFD tool used for this 
research is MFIX developed here at NETL (https://mfix.netl.doe.gov/), and 
knowledge using/developing this code is highly desirable, but demonstrated 
expertise in other CFD software will also be considered.

Fixed Term Position for 2 years.

The Micro & Nano Flows Group at the University of Warwick are seeking a 2-year
Postdoctoral Research Fellow to work on the project Skating on Thin Nanofilms:
How Liquid Drops Impact Solids. The 2-year position will be based in the
Mathematics Institute and is funded by Leverhulme Trust and EPSRC grants.

The Research Fellow will exploit recent modelling advances achieved in this
project which allow us to capture experimentally-observed gas nanofilms trapped
under impacting liquid drops. They will then open up a new direction of research
into the Leidenfrost phenomenon, in which drops are levitated above a solid
surface by an evaporated vapour nanofilm. This will be in collaboration with our
partners at Nokia Bell Labs who will provide us with custom
environmentally-controlled experimental data, using with infrared and optical
TIR surface imaging, to validate our models against.

The Group at Warwick is part of a consortium of three internationally-leading UK
research institutions (with Daresbury Laboratory and University of Edinburgh)
targeting the unconventional nano- and micro-scale fluid dynamics needed to
simulate and design technologies of the future. This is funded by a flagship
£3.4M EPSRC Programme Grant.

The University of Luxembourg (UL) and Luxembourg Institute of Socio-Economic
Research (LISER) invite applications for a DRIVEN PhD Fellow (Doctoral
Candidate) position (m/f) as part of the DRIVEN Doctoral Training Unit
(https://driven.uni.lu), consisting of 19 doctoral candidates. DRIVEN is funded
by the FNR PRIDE funding instrument https://www.fnr.lu/funding-instruments/pride/.


PRIDE PhD Fellow Ref: DRIVEN.
48 month PhD research project.
Employee and student status.
Enrollment in the DRIVEN Doctoral Training School.

Framework:
You will be working as part of DRIVEN Doctoral Training Unit (DTU) funded by the
FNR PRIDE scheme. The Computational and Data DRIVEN Science DTU will train a
cohort of 19 Doctoral Candidates who will develop data-driven modelling
approaches common to a number of applications strategic to the Luxembourgish
Research Area and Luxembourg’s Smart Specialisation Strategies. DRIVEN will
build a bridge between state-of-the-art data driven modelling approaches and
particular application domains, including Computational Physics and Engineering
Sciences, Computational Biology and Life Sciences, and Computational Behavioural
and Social Sciences.

Research Direction:
Additive manufacturing e.g. selective laser melting (SLM), also known as 3D
printing, has only recently emerged as one of the most promising technology for
manufacturing structures of virtually any shape. After preparation of the powder
bed a laser melts the powder, that solidifies to build the final part. In order
to gain a deeper insight into these processes and underlying physics, versatile
simulation technologies such as XDEM (www.xdem.de), CFD, phasefield and
Monte-Carlo methods are applied to understand the influence of many governing
parameters e.g. temperature or printing velocity on the final quality of the
final part.

Supervision:
Your lead supervisor will be Prof Bernhard Peters. Further supervision will be
provided by Prof. Andreas Zilian.

Your profile:
Master's degree in Engineering, Physics, Mathematics or equivalent required to
pursue a PhD-study
Knowledge of CFD in multi-phase flow (preferably OpenFoam) and solidification
processes
basic knowledge in machine learning
Familiar with Ubuntu and programming in C++
Good English language skills.
Willingness to familiarise with XDEM (www.xdem.de) and to work in an
inter-cultural and international environment.
Ability to work independently and as part of a team.
Curiosity and self-motivation.

We offer:
A dynamic and well-equipped research environment within <PIs department>.
Intensive training in scientific and transferable skills, participation in
schools. conferences and workshops.

Personal work space at UL or LISER.

Job description:
Your primary tasks as a DRIVEN fellow are to:
Manage and drive forward your research project.
Attend doctoral school courses, trainings and social events.
Write scientific articles and your PhD thesis.
Disseminate your research at conferences and seminars.
