  • Publish scientific papers, write patent applications and attend conferences

Qualifications:

  • PhD in a relevant field (Mechanical or chemical engineering, fluid mechanics)
  • Expertise in experimental fluid dynamics, particularly for high-Reynolds-number flows
  • Knowledge of mechatronics and control systems, and experience with actuation mechanisms (pumps, valves)
  • Experience in mechanical design, building, and commissioning of flow loops, particularly handling multiphase flows and turbomachinery
  • Experience in first-principle modelling of multiphase flow and mechanical systems
  • Experience in data acquisition, signal processing, and data interpretation including data science approaches
  • Knowledge of Python, ROS, Labview, and (desirable) Matlab
  • Experience in advanced instrumentation for multiphase flow measurements including laser-optical (PLIF, PIV), electrical, ultrasonic, and nuclear techniques is desirable
  • CFD modelling of multiphase flows (Ansys, OpenFoam, COMSOL) is desirable
  • Relevant publications in reputable peer-reviewed journals are desirable
