In order to be able to meet the high demands of future aeroengines, a step change in technology is needed - a change that will require the use of more sophisticated methods and workflows in the design process. The desired outcome of this project is a so-called multi-fidelity optimization framework for the design of components for tomorrows aeroengines. We are therefore looking for a creative new colleague that wants to take on this challenge together with us. We are offering a position as a PhD student in the Turbomachinery group at the Division of Fluid Dynamics.
Project description
As a PhD candidate in this project, you will take part in the development of methodology for shape optimization of aeroengine components, such as compressor and turbine blades using a combination of results from simulations of different degree of sophistication in a so-called multi-fidelity optimization framework.
Major responsibilities
Your major responsibilities as a PhD student is to pursue your own doctoral studies. You are expected to develop your own scientific concepts and communicate the results of your research verbally and in writing. The position generally also includes teaching in undergraduate level courses or other departmental duties corresponding to 10-20% of working hours.
Qualifications
To qualify as a PhD student, you must have a MSc degree corresponding to at least 240 higher education credits in a relevant field. You have taken courses in Fluid Dynamics and have programming experience.
The position requires sound verbal and written communication skills in Swedish and English. If Swedish is not your native language, you should be able to teach in Swedish after two years. Chalmers offers Swedish courses.
You are self-propelled and highly motivated, and you plan and think strategically. You are creative and like to put new ideas into practice. You have a solid interest in scientific computing and a strong natural curiosity with a genuine wish to learn more and develop your skills and knowledge further in the fields of research, research communication and project management.
Contract terms
Full-time temporary employment. The position is limited to 4.5-5 years depending on the amount of teaching and departmental work during your doctoral project.
