Postdoctoral Associate or Associate Research Scientist

Description

The Energy and Propulsion Laboratory (https://wp.nyu.edu/jryu) in the Division of Engineering, New York University Abu Dhabi, seeks to recruit a Postdoctoral Associate or Associate Research Scientist to work on aerospace propulsion.

The successful applicant will drive a fascinating project on the emerging technologies for propulsion systems. Responsibilities will include, but not limited to, fundamental studies of reactive flow, chemical kinetics, combustion, and detonation, for a wide range of propulsion applications, including rocket/hypersonic propulsion systems, gas turbine engines for unmanned aircraft systems (UAS), and sustainable aviation fuels for urban air mobility (UAM). The candidate will work in a multidisciplinary environment consisting of PhD-level scientists, graduate students, and undergraduate students.

Position Requirements

• PhD in Mechanical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, or related field
• Excellent reacting flow multi-physics computation experience in high-performance computing (HPC) environments
• Experience in computational fluid dynamics (CFD) codes and modeling
• Ability to present and publish results in peer-reviewed journal articles

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience in code development using C++/C/Fortran and parallel computing
• Knowledge of hypersonic/rocket propulsion systems
• To be considered as an Associate Research Scientist, 3+ years of postdoctoral experience is required. For the Postdoctoral Associate position, postdoctoral experience is not required.
