About the Role
We are seeking excellent candidates who aspire to become global leaders in Civil Engineering Hydrodynamics, with a passion to make substantial contribution to exciting delivery and syllabus development at undergraduate and postgraduate level. In particular we invite applications from candidates with substantial experience in one or more of the following areas of research:
- Development of fluids-based strategies tailored to sustainable & resilient infrastructure (including nature-based solutions, soft engineering, hydraulic structures), clean energy, complex fluids including sediments, pollutants, microplastics; by means of numerical and experimental approaches including high-performance computing, data science methods via machine learning/AI and digital twins, enhancement, development and of application advanced numerical and experimental methods for simulating fluids and multi-physics including mesh-based methods, spectral methods, and particle-based methods applied to multiphase flows and civil engineering applications.
The role holder will develop research and teaching in research areas relating to civil engineering hydrodynamics focusing on numerical simulation, experimental and field investigations and disruptive technologies. This will entail collaboration with colleagues within the School and across the wider University, as well as more broadly with industrial and international collaborators and stakeholders, to develop a portfolio of cutting-edge disciplinary or interdisciplinary research activity. The appointee will lead on the delivery and development of teaching on fundamental topics and topics related to hydrodynamics and computational engineering for either disciplinary or interdisciplinary programmes in the School with opportunities to also contribute to cross University programmes.
