Doctoral position in Turbulent Convection 765 views

Max Planck Institute for Dynamics and Self-Organization is looking for a Doctoral student to carry out state-of-the-art research on Effect of real roughness on thermal convection (turbulent convection). Thermal convection plays a crucial role in natural and industrial settings, from astrophysical and geophysical flows to process engineering.

About the project:
  • The PhD project is funded by an ERC starting grant and the selected candidate will further develop and use state-of-the-art direct numerical simulations to figure out what physical mechanisms determine what surface characteristics influence the heat transport in turbulent flow over rough plates.
  • The goal of the project is to find roughness patterns that will make the flow in the boundary layers fully turbulent and hence trigger the so-called ultimate regime of thermal convection.

Requirements:

  • Applicant must have background in Applied Physics or Mechanical Engineering, or in a closely related discipline.
  • Candidate must possess strong communication skills, including fluency in written and spoken English.
  • Candidate must be enthusiastic, and highly motivated to do a PhD.
  • Programming experience in C or Fortran is a plus.

How to apply

Application to be sent to Dr. Richard Stevens (r.j.a.m.stevens@utwente.nl) with the following documents:

  • A motivation letter describing why he/she wants to apply for this position.
  • Description of research interests.
  • Detailed CV
  • Academic transcripts from Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees
  • Email addresses of at least two references that are willing to send a letter of recommendation.
  • An interview with a scientific presentation will be part of the interview process.
