Join us and be part of a vibrant community at Loughborough University.

Here’s more about the role and what we’re looking for: We are seeking a talented and motivated researcher to join the Loughborough-Caterpillar Innovation & Research Centre and contribute to an exciting project focused on hydrogen-fuelled engine development. The role will investigate fundamental in-cylinder flow processes using advanced optical diagnostic techniques, including Particle Image Velocimetry (PIV), to provide new scientific insight and understanding. Candidates should have a strong experimental background and experience in fluid flow analysis. Training and mentoring opportunities will be provided to support professional development and help researchers achieve their full potential.

About the University: At Loughborough, we strive for better, think differently, challenge convention and take action. We are passionate about finding solutions to the major problems faced by society and the planet, and we create opportunities for those with the drive, the ambition, and the determination to apply themselves in the pursuit of better.

About the Department: The Loughborough University and Caterpillar Innovation & Research Centre (I&RC) is a long-standing strategic partnership between one of the UK's leading engineering universities and a global leader in off-highway power systems. Based within Loughborough University's Schools of Engineering, the Centre brings together world-class academic expertise and industrial insight to develop the next generation of sustainable powertrain technologies.

The I&RC focuses on the discovery, understanding, and application of advanced engineering solutions that deliver both scientific innovation and tangible business impact. Research spans engine and powertrain systems, materials, design methodologies, electrification, sensing, and control technologies.

Informal enquiries should be directed to Dr Edward Long, via email to E.J.Long@lboro.ac.uk.
