Job Description

Applications are invited for the position of Research Scientist to contribute to computational fluid dynamics (CFD) research in aerodynamics.

Roles and Responsibilities:

The successful applicant will join a large, highly motivated research group focused on experimental measurements and numerical simulations across a broad range of aerodynamics and fluid mechanics problems. The position offers access to extensive high-performance computing resources at NUS and the National Supercomputing Centre, as well as state-of-the-art experimental facilities and instrumentation.

Essential skillsets

• Strong experience and understanding of aerodynamics and/or fluid mechanics
• Background in one or more of the following areas: bluff-body flows, airfoils, active and passive flow control, boundary-layer flows, multiphase flows, and bio-inspired aerodynamics
• Demonstratable prior experience in CFD using commercially available software such as Star-CCM, Fluent and OpenFOAM
• Experience in programming using MATLAB or similar languages for data post-processing and analysis
• Ability to work independently and as part of a team
• Good written and oral communication skills

Desirable skillsets

• Experience in code development and numerical scheme implementation
• Experience in applying machine learning techniques to engineering or scientific problems

Qualifications

Candidates should hold a Doctoral degree in Mechanical Engineering, Aeronautical Engineering, or a closely related discipline, with a strong foundation in fluid dynamics.

The appointee will be expected to actively disseminate research outcomes by leading the preparation of manuscripts for peer-reviewed journals, presenting findings at international conferences, and showcasing results at other appropriate forums. The role also involves supporting project-related administrative duties, including risk assessments, coordination of project meetings, and research documentation, as well as any other responsibilities assigned by the line manager following consultation with the post holder.

To apply, please send your cover letter, CV and names of 3 references (name, institution, email) to NUS Career Portal. Only shortlisted candidates will be contacted
