The Mechanical and Aerospace Systems Research Group (MAS) requires an Experimental Research Fellow who is experienced in the field of multiphase computational fluid mechanics and aero-engine oil systems to work across several industry relevant projects. MAS has a large intra-disciplinary team of researchers, engineers, technicians, support staff and academics who work together to deliver research from fundamental to high level TRL. 

The successful candidate will design, conduct, analyse and disseminate computational work in the field of multiphase flows for aero-engine oil systems.  To achieve this, the successful candidate should be able to demonstrate capability in the application of a range of multiphase flow modelling techniques to challenges in the aerospace industry.

The MAS group and faculty have an excellent international reputation for high quality theoretical and experimental research funded by EU, EPSRC, BEIS, Innovate-UK and directly with industry. The faculty was the first engineering department in the UK to be awarded an Athena Swan Gold award for advancing gender equality in higher education. Applications from all backgrounds are encouraged.

This full-time post will be offered on a fixed-term contract until the 31st of December 2026. 

Requests for secondment from internal candidates may be considered on the basis that prior agreement has been sought from both your current line manager and the manager of your substantive post, if you are already undertaking a secondment role.
