Senior Research Fellow in Thermal Management (Fixed term) (ENG076024)

Applications are welcome for a Senior Research Fellow for a project investigating thermal management issues in future propulsion systems. The MAS group has a large intra-disciplinary team of researchers, engineers, technicians, support staff and academics who work together to deliver research from fundamental to high level TRL. 

The MAS and faculty have an excellent international reputation for high quality theoretical and experimental research funded by EU, EPSRC, BEIS, Innovate-UK and directly with industry. The faculty is also dedicated to equality, diversity, and inclusion; it was the first engineering department in the UK to be awarded an Athena Swan Gold award for advancing gender equality in higher education.

Applications from all backgrounds are encouraged. 

The project involves the development, validation, and application of a new modelling platform to allow design investigations of the thermal management requirements for new propulsion architectures. The role holder will be responsible for ensuring the programme of work is carried out in a robust, well-managed and well-documented manner. 

Candidates should have a PhD in a relevant subject or significant industrial experience directly related to Thermofluids/heat transfer. The ability to work in a team, lead both internally and externally, and interact/collaborate actively and professionally with industrial partners is essential. It is essential that the successful applicant is able to actively support knowledge exchange and transfer activities between industrial partners and the University of Nottingham. 

This full-time post (36.25 hours) is available immediately and will be offered on a fixed-term contract for a period of 18 months. Arrangements for job share may be considered.
