Description: | |
The University of Kentucky is seeking two highly qualified candidates for a Ph.D. position to lead the computational efforts underway at the university as part of the Computational Thermophysics and Fluids Laboratory (CTFL). The candidate will be part of an inter-disciplinary engineering group comprising of eight graduate students and get an opportunity to collaborate with the Computational Mechanics and Methods group at the university. The candidate will be part of several publications, attend review and conference meetings, and interface with subject matter experts from various Federal agencies. Job Description Two positions are available in the group. Both topics will focus on how ice particles interact with high-speed shocks. The first topic focuses on understanding melting and high-speed shear experienced by ice particles in high- speed environments. The second topic focuses on numerical development to couple a meshfree solid mechanics technique with the direct simulation Monte Carlo method. Both positions are computational in nature, and a candidate is expected to have significant computational expertise with prior skills in developing codes written in C or Fortran or having worked with large-scale research codes that are developed in C or Fortran. This Ph.D. position is funded, which covers tuition, stipend, health, and fringe benefits. The lab provides a dynamic environment where you will work at the forefront of cutting-edge research. The research will provide opportunities to collaborate with partners at NASA, U.S. DoD, other national laboratories and research centers in U.S. and Europe. We will publish new research in top-tier journals in fluid and thermal sciences, attend annual conferences hosted by American Institute of Aerospace and Astronautics (AIAA), NASA and you may also have internship opportunities to develop a core peer and mentor network in your professional field. Personal growth is an important component of your academic training at CTFL, and the students spend 10% of research project time towards developing personal research ideas. Applications Interested applicants should send a CV with a cover letter, names of at least three references, and a summary of recent work and interests. All applications should be submitted electronically as a single PDF document to: Prof. Savio Poovathingal Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering University of Kentucky, Lexington, KY, USA 40506. saviopoovathingal@uky.edu For additional information about the research activities, visit https://www.engr.uky.edu/directory/poovathingal-savio Review of applications will begin immediately and continue until the position is filled. |
