Research Associate in Experimental Hydrogen Micro-mix Combustion Job reference REQ250207 Date posted 19/03/2025 Application closing date 27/03/2025 Location Loughborough Package Specialist and Supporting Academic Research grade 6 from xc2xa335116 Job descriptionNational Centre for Combustion and Aerothermal Technology (NCCAT)Full Time, 12 months fixed term.There is a new, exciting opportunity to study the combustion and flow physics associated with hydrogen fuel injection systems at the National Centre for Combustion and Aerothermal Technology. This project will employ optical measurement techniques and CFD modelling to improve understanding of the interaction between mixing and chemical reactions inside micro-mix hydrogen flames.Applicants must have a PhD with experience of laser measurements and CFD modelling with relevance to combustion, fluid mechanics or similar disciplines. They should further have a strong publication record with experience in publishing research findings in international journals and conference proceedings. Good lab skills and experience working with Class 4 lasers is essential.Experience of the design and setup of Raman scattering measurements; setting up optical measurements for use in high pressure combustion experiments; research experience with shear layers and jet mixing are also desirable.Applicants are asked to attach their most relevant journal publication to their application.For more information refer to theFor more information, refer to the and Person Specification and for informal discussion, contact Dr Mark Brend:
