ARC Grant-Funded Researcher (A) - Mechanical Engineering
Job no: 514846
Work type: Fixed term - Full-time
Campus: Adelaide
Categories: Level A, Faculty of Sciences, Engineering and Technology
Salary: (Level A) $98,574 to $105,611 per annum plus an employer contribution of up to 17% superannuation may apply.
Fixed term, full-time opportunity available for 12 months.
In this role you will work as part of a large international team on wall-bound flows and turbulent boundary layer control. The project primarily comprises experiments in wind tunnel and mathematical modelling.
This project aims to reduce skin friction drag by developing a novel passive flow control method using micro-perforated surfaces. Advanced mathematical modelling and experimental methods will be used to develop specific design solutions to improve efficiency in many real life applications, such as to reduce drag in the aerospace, maritime, gas pipelines and wind turbine industries. Expected outcomes include widely applicable knowledge and skills, improved modelling and experimental techniques and tools, and enhanced collaborations. Benefits to Australia are expected to include significant improvements to the efficiency of the aerospace and energy industries, a boost to the Australian economy, and a reduction in carbon emissions.
In addition, as part of the role you will contribute in supervision of honours, masters and PhD students.
To be successful you will need:
- A PhD in mechanical or aerospace engineering.
- Strong track record of research accomplishments including publications in high-quality journals.
- Demonstrated experience in working with wind tunnels and flow measurement devices.
- Demonstrated experience in experimental measurement and mathematical modelling of boundary layer flows.
- Commitment to the principles of equity, diversity and inclusion, and ability to contribute to the diversity of the School community.
