Post-Doctoral Researcher

University of Edinburgh (Scotland)

Department: Dandidrone Project

Position: Post-Doctoral Researcher (Multiple Openings)

Description: We are recruiting a postdoc at the University of Edinburgh (Scotland) to investigate the fluid mechanics of free-falling bodies in turbulent flows. The post holder will have specialist expertise in either computational or experimental fluid dynamics. The position is available on a fixed term basis for up to 24 months.

This bio-inspired project aims to investigate the unsteady aerodynamics of centimetre-scale wings to underpin the development of flying sensors that remain airborne transported by the wind. In the next decade, distributed sensor network systems made of small flying sensors, from dust-scale to insect- scale, will enable a step change in monitoring natural disasters and remote areas. They will contribute to protecting the environment by providing data on the contamination of physical and biological systems and on the impact of human activities. To date, a key limitation of this technology is that small sensors can remain airborne only for a few tens of minutes. By contrast, some natural flyers such as the dandelion fruit, travel unpowered for days and hundreds of kilometres. Our previous work (Cummins et al, Nature 2018, doi.org/10.1038/s41586-018-0604-2), revealed that the dandelion adopts a highly porous wing to form a separated vortex ring and decrease its terminal velocity. However, the aerodynamics of the free-falling dandelion while transported in a turbulent wind remains mostly unexplored. This five-year project aims to unveil the underlying fluid mechanics mechanisms that allow the dandelion and similar bodies to remain airborne scavenging wind energy.

The post holder will join a team of two postdocs (Research Associates) and four PhD students working within the same project and will undertake either computational fluid dynamics simulations with OpenFOAM of free-falling bodies, or particle image velocimetry of free-falling bodies in a bespoke vertical wind tunnel.

Post-Doctoral Researcher

University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign

Department: Dlott Laboratory

Position: Post-Doctoral Researcher (Multiple Openings)

Description: The Dlott laboratory at the University of Illinois (UIUC) needs talented postdoctoral researchers in experimental chemistry, physics, mechanical engineering or aerospace engineering. The Dlott group has pioneered new experimental methods that use a pulsed laser to launch small hypervelocity (0-6 km/s or 0-Mach 20) projectiles to study hypervelocity impacts with very high time and space resolution. The primary areas of interest are materials under extreme conditions (defined as pressures up to 50 GPa and temperatures up to 6000K), energetic materials and materials for hypersonic vehicles.

These research areas ordinarily involve large-scale, low-throughput facilities to produce extreme conditions, but the Dlott laboratory has developed methods that can be used for high throughput experiments on a tabletop. Due to the high throughput and large data acquisition rates, these experiments are especially conducive to machine-learning materials discovery techniques.

Post-Doctoral Researcher

University of New Hampshire

Department: Mechanical Engineering

Position: Post-Doctoral Researcher (Multiple Openings)

Description:

As part of a multi-institutional collaborative DOE EPSCoR project, we invite applications for a Postdoctoral Research Associate to develop and implement multiscale modeling and direct statistical simulation (DSS) algorithms for the prediction and characterization of marine atmospheric boundary layer (MABL) turbulence with application to floating offshore wind energy.

The postdoctoral researcher will:

Contribute to the derivation of reduced PDE models for turbulent flow through floating offshore wind farms using multiscale mathematical methods; Lead the development and implementation of multiscale and/or DSS numerical algorithms for the efficient simulation of wind-farm turbulence; Perform multiscale numerical simulations using the newly developed algorithms to investigate wind-farm turbulence on scales ranging from meters to tens of kilometers, with a particular focus on the interaction between turbine wakes and ambient turbulence in the MABL under neutrally, stably, and unstably (moist convective) conditions; Lead the dissemination of results of the research effort via conference presentations and journal publications.

Post-Doctoral Researcher

University of Rochester

Department: Mechanical Engineering

Position: Post-Doctoral Researcher (Multiple Openings)

Description: Applications are invited for multiple postdoctoral researchers to model the dynamics of cerebrospinal fluid in the brain at the University of Rochester. The work will focus on fluid flow and transport of solutes, including wastes and nutrients, in the glymphatic system, which circulates cerebrospinal fluid through the brain during sleep. That circulation has important implications for human health: diseases such as Alzheimer's and Parkinson's correlate with accumulation of brain metabolic wastes, and pathologies such as stroke, cardiac arrest, and traumatic brain injury involve damaging swelling caused by the inrush of cerebrospinal fluid. The postdoctoral researchers will develop high-fidelity models of local flows using direct numerical simulations and extend an existing, brain-wide hydraulic network model of the fluid pathways. They will also develop local and brain-wide models for solute transport, caused by both advection and diffusion, based on the flow models. Related questions about brain fluid flow might also be addressed; the positions offer ample intellectual freedom. Experience with computational fluid dynamics is key, whereas experience with neuroscience or other biological applications is desirable but not required.

The postdoctoral researchers will join a team in the Department of Mechanical Engineering, led by Profs. Douglas H. Kelley and John H. Thomas. The researchers will benefit from close collaborative links with three experimental projects funded simultaneously, producing groundbreaking in vivo observations in both mice and humans, and led by Profs. Maiken Nedergaard (U of R), Patrick Drew (Penn State), and Laura Lewis (MIT). Iterative collaboration, in which experiments inform models and models suggest new experiments, is a central goal for all. Collaboration is also encouraged with other researchers in the Department of Mechanical Engineering studying brain fluid flows, currently including one other faculty member, several PhD students, and several undergraduate students. Further benefits come from a Data Science Core dedicated to supporting the projects by providing data infrastructure, developing code, and performing analyses, led with Profs. Mujdat Cetin and Jiebo Luo and employing a full-time data scientist.

Interested candidates should submit their CV and cover letter to dhkelley@rochester.edu.
