This is an exciting opportunity to join a new thrust to develop state of the art 
very high order computational fluid dynamics frameworks for high performance 
heterogeneous computing systems, working in a dynamic and collaborative team.
In collaboration with the Edinburgh Parallel Computing Centre (EPCC) and our 
industry partners, the focus of the role is the development of a new solver for 
reacting, unsteady, compressible flows, using as foundation advanced open-source 
software tools AMReX and Kokkos/Raja. This builds on our research group’s strong 
heritage in the development of novel governing models and fast numerical 
methods, implemented in our solver Flamenco. You will then apply the newly 
developed solvers to challenging fluid mechanics problems at the cutting edge of 
aerodynamics and compressible mixing, such as supersonic reacting flows relevant 
to high speed combustion problems and external aerodynamics. We expect that both 
the developed algorithms and the fundamental physics discovered will lead to 
high quality and impactful research outcomes.

What we offer:

Beyond a competitive salary, the University offers an attractive benefits 
package including a holiday entitlement of up to 8.4 weeks a year, pension 
schemes and development opportunities. We support staff wellbeing with flexible 
working options, work-life balance initiatives and support for physical and 
mental health. You can find more detail on all of this and more at
