Postdoc in compressor aerodynamics - Hiring in process/Finished, not possible to apply

Job description

The Division of Heat and Power Technology at the Department of Energy Technology is seeking a postdoc to work in a newly started research project related to the aerodynamics of compressor ducts in aircraft engines. The project is carried out in collaboration with GKN Aerospace AB and the aim of the research is to provide answers on how we could design shorter and more aerodynamically efficient compressor ducts. Postdoc’s tasks will include investigations of different active and passive flow control devices as means of pushing the design space limits for intermediate compressor ducts. Advancements in flow control technology, as well as improved flow field prediction capability, can enable more aggressive designs of compressor ducts to be integrated into future aircraft engines resulting in lower weight and reduced fuel consumption.

What we offer

• A position at a leading technical university that generates knowledge and skills for a sustainable future
• Engaged and ambitious colleagues along with a creative, international and dynamic working environment
• Works in Stockholm, in close proximity to nature
• Help to relocate and be settled in Sweden and at KTH
