Research Fellow in Combustion Diagnostics using Advanced Laser Techniques

Research Fellow in Combustion Diagnostics using Advanced Laser Techniques

Are you an ambitious researcher interested in gaining deeper insight into the physical process governing premixed flame instability? Do you have an established background in experimental laser measurement and combustion science? Do you want to further your career in one of the UK's leading research-intensive Universities?

You will work on a multidisciplinary project funded by the EPSRC programme to investigate the instability of premixed flames under laminar and turbulent conditions. You will develop state-of-the-art laser diagnostics capturing the instantaneous flame propagation and surrounding flow fields in the experimental tests performed at the Bradley combustion laboratory at the University of Leeds.

Holding a PhD (or having submitted your thesis prior to taking up the appointment) in Mechanical Engineering or a closely allied discipline, you will have experience in developing and running laser diagnostics for combustion research and a developing track record of peer-reviewed publications in international journals.

We are open to discussing flexible working arrangements.

What we offer in return:

• 26 days holiday plus approx. 16 Bank Holidays/days that the University is closed by custom (including Christmas) – That’s 42 days a year!
• Generous pension scheme plus life assurance – the University contributes 14.5% of salary.
• Health and Wellbeing: Discounted staff membership options at The Edge, our state-of-the-art Campus gym, with a pool, sauna, climbing wall, cycle circuit, and sports halls.
• Personal Development: Access to courses run by our Organisational Development & Professional Learning team.
• Access to on-site childcare, shopping discounts, and travel schemes are also available. And much more!
