Vacancy: Large-Eddy Simulation / Aircraft WingAn atmosphere research position (PhD student / post-doctoral) is available starting on 1 January, 2006.The position involves numerical simulation of atmospheric flow over an aircraft wing using LES (Large-Eddy Simulation). The successful applicant will join a diverse research group of engineers and meteorologists that is addressing a range of fluid mechanic and flight dynamic problems. The successful candidate will develop and test LES code for single pre-defined eddies and complex atmospheric flow under various conditions. A strong background in LES development and application is therefore expected. A Ph.D. in atmospheric science or related field is advantageous but no precondition. Good numerical skills, the ability to work in a team, communication skills and the ability to do research on own initiative are required. The place of employment is the Institute of Aerospace Systems (Institut für Luft- und Raumfahrtsysteme, ILR) of the Technical University of Braunschweig, Germany. The ILR is part of one of Europe's most important research airports and offers a multidisciplinary working environment. The duration is initially four years. Salary depends on the candidates age and family status but will be around 38,000 Euro (BAT IIa). Review of applications will begin immediately and will continue until the position is filled. Applicants should send an application letter indicating research interests, curriculum vitae with publication list, and copies of no more than three selected publications to: Dr. Jens Bange Technische Universität Braunschweig Institut für Luft- und Raumfahrtsysteme Hermann-Blenk-Str. 23 38108 Braunschweig / Germany or by e-mail using PDF files to j.bange@tu-bs.de |
