Job ID: 376367
About the Job
The University of Minnesota is working to establish the Minnesota Aerospace Complex (MAC) with the goal of integrating advanced modeling and simulation tools with state-of-the-art wind tunnel testing. The MAC will advance the reliability and complexity of simulations, extend and validate physics models, and develop the next-generation multi-physics simulation environment for hypersonics. To support these goals, the University seeks applicants with significant experience in computational fluid dynamics, methods for unstructured grid generation, high-temperature gas dynamics, multi-physics simulations, and/or advanced code development for high-performance computing. A PhD and research experience in one of these areas is required.
This position will serve as a member of the University of Minnesota research team providing critical research and analysis support in collaboration with faculty, other research staff and graduate students. There is also the potential for the candidate to teach courses and to participate in the undergraduate and graduate programs within the Department of Aerospace Engineering and Mechanics.
This position may qualify to be hired at one of several research professor job classification levels depending on the qualifications (Assistant, Associate, or Full Professor levels), background and experience of the candidate. The salary will be commensurate with experience.
This position opens to US citizens and permanent residents only. No visa sponsorship.
A successful candidate will provide expertise in the development and application of advanced multi-physics simulations for hypersonics. Candidates with experience in the development and application of digital twin system models and/or uncertainty quantification methods are of particular interest. The position will require close collaboration with the existing development team and the hypersonics research group at the University of Minnesota. The position will require the handling of Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) and will involve collaborations with the government and relevant aerospace industry.
Areas of responsibility include:
