Post Doctoral Research Fellow: Computational Fluid Dynamics for Wind Farm Flows

-Place: Guangdong Technion - Israel Institute of Technology, Shantou, China
-Duration: Two years (initial contract is 1 year)
-Salary: 18-24k RMB p.m. as per experience + benefits
-Dates: 31/01/2026  (full consideration), 31/03/2026  (closing date)
-PI: Prof. Vikrant Gupta (Mechanical Engineering Robotics, Guangdong Technion, 
China)

The postdoctoral research fellow will focus on developing CFD capabilities for 
simulating wind farms under diverse wind flow conditions, including varying 
stratification, surface roughness, and complex terrains such as offshore and 
hilly regions. The candidate will collaborate with team members to analyze wind 
farm flows, develop wake models, integrate these models with mesoscale weather 
prediction systems for real-time applications, and design control strategies to 
optimize wind farm performance.

The salary is 18-24k RMB per month plus health insurance and subsidised 
accommodation on campus. International applicants coming from their home 
countries may qualify for tax relief under DTAA (i.e. no taxes would need to be 
paid during the postdoctoral contract period).

Guangdong Technion is a brainchild of Technion Israel. It is located in the 
picturesque city of Shantou, which boasts beautiful coastal scenery and has 
recently emerged as a hub of fast growing wind industry. The city enjoys 
affordable living and close proximity to international metropolitan hubs of 
Guangzhou, Shenzhen and Hong Kong.

Entry Requirements: PhD in CFD or related area, proven publication track record, 
ready to work in team, support graduate students, familiar with C, C++ and 
fortran. Experience in wind turbine simulations, boundary layer simulations, and 
GPU computations will be advantageous.

How to Apply: Interested candidates please send your CV, cover-letter, and 1 
representative publication to Prof. Vikrant Gupta (vikrant.gupta@gtiit.edu.cn)
