About the position

We are looking to appoint a postdoctoral researcher within the Thermo-Fluid Mechanics research group at the Department of Energy and Process Engineering (EPT) in the area of numerical simulations of turbulent multiphase flows. The aim of this project is to derive novel physics based models for particle motions in turbulent flow by adopting modern approaches from machine learning. This requires fully resolved numerical simulations of particle laden turbulent flow capable of tracking thousands of particles that utilises large computational resources and generates large amounts of data. Due to the complex flow physics involved, the challenge is to gain new fundamental understanding from the massive amount of raw data generated.

The successful candidate will investigate the potential of machine learning to better exploit these large datasets and gain new physical insight by making use of the unprecedented detail of these data to construct reliable models. 

The development of data-driven, low-dimensional models will enable us to gain new scientific understanding which, in turn, can be incorporated into continuum models. This will drastically improve our ability to predict turbulent particle-laden flows which will benefit a vast number of scientific and engineering applications.

The successful candidate will work under the supervision of International Chair in Fluid Mechanics, Professor Luca Brandt (KTH) and Professor James Dawson (NTNU). The head of department at EPT is Professor Terese Løvås.

The successful candidate will have the opportunity to interact with PhD students and post-doctoral researchers at both KTH and NTNU to further develop his/her research skills and experience.

The duration of the position is 2 years. 

Qualification requirements

A postdoctoral research fellowships is a qualification position in which the main objective is qualification for work in academic positions. Completion of a Norwegian doctoral degree in fluid mechanics or related fields or corresponding foreign doctoral degree recognized as equivalent to a Norwegian doctoral degree is required.

The applicant should have experience in high-fidelity numerical simulations of turbulent multiphase flows. The position will also require independent work in addition to collaborative skills and creative thinking. In addition, good oral and written communication skills in English are required.

In the evaluation of which candidate is best qualified, emphasis will be placed on education, experience and personal suitability, in terms of the qualification requirements specified in the advertisement.

The appointment is to be made in accordance with the regulations in force concerning State Employees and Civil Servants and national guidelines for appointment as PhD, postdoctor and research assistant

We offer

• exciting and stimulating tasks in a strong international academic environment
• an open and inclusive work environment with dedicated colleagues
• favourable terms in the Norwegian Public Service Pension Fund
• employee benefits

Salary and conditions

Postdoctoral candidates are remunerated in code 1352, and are normally remunerated at gross from NOK 515 200 before tax per year. From the salary, 2 % is deducted as a contribution to the Norwegian Public Service Pension Fund.

Appointment takes place on the terms that apply to State employees at any time, and after the appointment you must assume that there may be changes in the area of work.
