JOB TITLE Post-Doctoral Fellow LOCATION Worcester DEPARTMENT NAME Mechanical & Materials Engineering - NFR JM DIVISION NAME Worcester Polytechnic Institute - WPI JOB DESCRIPTION SUMMARY The Computational Multiphase Transport Laboratory (CMTL) at Worcester Polytechnic Institute (WPI) invites applications for a Postdoctoral Research Associate position in computational multiphase flow. JOB DESCRIPTION Responsibilities: The successful candidate will work on high-fidelity computational modeling of droplet dynamics, droplet–droplet interactions, and droplet interactions with solid surfaces, with particular emphasis on applications relevant to aircraft and wind-turbine icing. Research topics may include droplet impact, deformation, coalescence, breakup, splashing, heat transfer, phase change/freezing, and the interaction of multiple droplets with cold surfaces. The project will involve development and application of advanced numerical methods for interfacial multiphase flows, analysis of the governing physical mechanisms, and comparison with available experimental data. Qualifications: Applicants should have: A Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, Applied Mathematics, Computational Science, or a closely related field. A strong background in computational fluid dynamics and multiphase/interfacial flows. Experience with numerical modeling of droplets, free-surface flows, phase change, heat transfer, or related transport phenomena. Strong programming and scientific computing skills. A record of peer-reviewed publications and the ability to conduct independent research and communicate results effectively. Experience with OpenFOAM and/or Basilisk is highly desirable. Experience with interface-capturing methods such as VOF, adaptive mesh refinement, high- performance computing, or simulations involving droplet impact and solidification/freezing would also be advantageous. The postdoctoral researcher will have opportunities to contribute to model development, conduct large-scale numerical simulations, collaborate with experimental and computational researchers, publish in leading journals, and mentor graduate and undergraduate students. To Apply: Please include a cover letter and CV and contact information for at least two references Compensation: Salary: $60,000 per year. Salary is based on related experience, expertise, and internal equity. WPI’s benefits package includes a robust retirement match, wellness perks, tuition assistance and more!
