The earliest start date for this position will be 1^st July 2024

The University of Glasgow is seeking to appoint a Research Assistant/Associate within the School of Mathematics & Statistics. 

The successful candidate will make a leading contribution to a project on viscous fingering instabilities of free-surface flows working with Dr Katarzyna Kowal in the School of Mathematics and Statistics at the University of Glasgow. This project is funded by the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC) and is available for a period of 30 months. The successful candidate will also be expected to contribute to the formulation and submission of research publications and research proposals as well as help manage and direct this complex and challenging project as opportunities allow.

We are seeking a highly motivated and skilled postdoctoral researcher to join our team to work on the mathematical modelling and analysis of free surface flows prone to a novel fingering instability. The successful candidate will be responsible for conducting cutting-edge research in applied mathematics applied to viscous fluid mechanics. Depending on the interests of the candidate, there will also be the opportunity to conduct small-scale fluid-mechanical experiments to validate theoretical ideas.

For informal enquiries or further information about the project, please contact Dr Katarzyna Kowal, Katarzyna.Kowal@glasgow.ac.uk
