Postdoctoral Research Assistant in Gas Turbine Aerothermal Performance
Applications for this vacancy closed on 1 November 2024 at 12:00PM
**THIS IS A RE-ADVERTISEMENT OF VACANCY 172522. PREVIOUS APPLICANTS NEED NOT
APPLY**
**About the role**
An exciting full-time opportunity is available for a highly motivated
Postdoctoral Research Assistant in Gas Turbine Aerothermal Performance, to
join the Oxford Turbine Research Facility (OTRF) team at the Oxford
Thermofluids Institute (Osney Mead). This is a fantastic opportunity to
develop next generation component technology, and contribute towards its
inclusion in current and future Rolls-Royce civil aerospace products. If you
are interested in aerothermal experiments and with a close collaboration with
industry, this position will be rewarding.
This project will examine the thermal performance of next generation turbine
blade cooling concepts with close working with our industrial partner Rolls-
Royce. Optimising turbine aerothermal efficiency is key to the viability of
sustainable aviation fuels. The Oxford Turbine Research Facility is a world-
leading and highly engine-representative facility that delivers thermal
assessment akin to engine thermal paint tests using advanced IR measurements
techniques. We examine performance experimentally, and use numerical /
analytical analysis to model and understand behaviour.
You will be responsible for the design and thermal performance assessment of a
range of turbine blade geometries and novel cooling concepts. You will also be
responsible for the design of a novel combustor simulator for the facility. It
is expected that your work would contribute towards advancing the state of the
art in gas turbine cooling technologies and highly impact current and future
engine design at Rolls-Royce.
**About you**
You should possess a relevant PhD/DPhil (or be near completion). Proven
experience in aerothermal experiments and/or turbine design is essential.
Experience in data analysis, design using FEA and CAD packages, as well as CFD
is also desirable. Good time management, organisation and ability to work
effectively in a team and individually will also be essential to deliver the
project.
**How to apply**
Applications for this vacancy are to be made online via our e-recruitment
system and should include the covering letter/supporting statement (describing
how you meet the criteria), a CV, and names of two academic references.
The position is a full-time fixed term post available for 18 months.
The closing date for applications is 12.00 noon on Friday 01 November 2024.
Informal enquiries may be addressed to Dr Paul Beard: paul.beard@eng.ox.ac.uk
Further information can be found at https://eng.ox.ac.uk/
The University of Oxford is committed to equality and valuing diversity. All
applicants will be judged on merit, according to the selection criteria.
