What are the responsibilities and job description for the Post Doctoral Fellow- Mechanical Engineering position at unm?
The Department of Mechanical Engineering at the
University of New Mexico invites applications for the position of Postdoctoral
Fellow. We are seeking a research focused,
experienced individual with excellent analytical, organizational, and
interpersonal skills. The successful candidate is expected to
conduct research in computational fluid dynamics investigations of
shock-accelerated and supersonic single- and multi- phase mixing flows. This includes researching transcritical
injection into crossflow, performing statistical analysis of the results,
conducting convergence studies, developing reduced-order physics-based models
to improve computational efficiency, validating the code performance by
comparison with experimental data, maintaining the results database and
ensuring its compatibility with the frameworks developed by UNM’s collaborators
at Sandia National Laboratories and University of Alabama – Huntsville. The successful candidate should be able to
start work immediately.
Applicants must hold an earned doctorate in mechanical engineering or a closely related field by the start date of the employment. Candidates should have: a record of peer-reviewed publications in the relevant area of expertise (CFD, multiphase flow); experience with CFD codes including FIESTA, OpenFOAM, and Nek 5000; strong analytical, problem-solving, documentation, organizational, and interpersonal skills; and a demonstrated commitment to diversity, equity, inclusion, and student success as well as working with broadly diverse communities.
For best consideration, applicants must submit an application to UNM Jobs that includes 1.) a comprehensive CV; 2) a cover letter including 1-2 representative publications; and 3) the names and contact information (address, phone number and email address) for 1-3 professional references.
