The role will focus on supporting and furthering the potential of our fluid dynamics facilities on the Boldrewood Innovation Campus, including water flumes and wind tunnels.

To bring the necessary skills to this exciting environment you will have a degree in a relevant subject, have practical engineering skills and experience with instrumentation and data acquisition systems.  A knowledge of or interest in fluid dynamics is desirable since the post will involve assisting students and researchers in various settings including wind tunnels, water flumes and test cells.
