Job description
The Faculty of Process and Systems Engineering seeks to fill the following vacancy at the Chair of Mechanical Process Engineering:
Junior Group Leader (m/f/d) in Computational Multiphase Flow
Salary scale: 13 TV-L
Date commencing: 01.07.2024
Fixed term (until): 3 years
Contract status: 100 %
We are a university with a focus on engineering and natural sciences as well as economics, human sciences and medicine. We offer excellent study and working conditions to 13,000 students from Germany and abroad as well as approx. 3,000 employees.
At the Chair of Mechanical Process Engineering ( we are a group of enthusiastic researchers with intensive research activities in the numerical modelling of multiphase flows. As part of our research on particle-laden flows, we study the complex behaviour of dispersed particles in incompressible and compressible turbulent flows, particle-turbulence interactions, the influence of particle shape as well as applications featuring particle-laden turbulent flows. Currently, there are approximately 8 PhD students and 3 post-docs working at the Chair in the area.
The objective of the advertised position is to attract a junior group leader within the Chair, who will be able to develop their own research profile and play a lead role in the numerical multiphase flow group. You will have the opportunity to build your research profile with our in-house code, containing state-of-the-art models based on: immersed boundary techniques, Lagrangian particle-tracking, non-spherical particle dynamics, particle interactions, LES, fully coupled solvers for compressible and incompressible flows, and models for gas-liquid interfaces. You will also have the opportunity to establish your own teaching portfolio on numerical methods, multiphase flow or particle technology.
Job description:
Design, execution, and analysis of analytical and numerical models for multiphase flows
Leading the development of our in-house simulation tools in C and MPI
Develop ideas and write proposals to acquire third-party funded projects
Supervise PhD students and post-docs in the field of computational multiphase flows
Contribute to teaching in multiphase flows
Requirements profile:
Master's degree and a PhD degree in mechanical engineering, process engineering, aeronautical engineering, applied mathematics, physics or a related discipline
Proven track record in working with physical problems and numerical methods
Proven coding experience in C, C++ or Fortran in the context of numerical modelling
Proven track record of using MPI and high-performance computing facilities
Proven experience with developing immersed boundary methods, Lagrangian particle tracking, or particle-interaction models is highly desirable
Distinct publication record, commensurate with your career stage
Fluent command of written and spoken English is required
Your benefits:
You have the opportunity to pursue a habilitation and are supported and promoted accordingly
