Location: Guildford
Salary: £36,024 to £44,263 per annum depending on experience
Fixed Term Contract until 31/12/2026
Post Type: Full Time
Closing Date: 23.59 hours BST on Monday 08 April 2024
Interview Date: Monday 22 April 2024
Reference: 012124
The Fire and Explosion Modelling (FMEG) group in the School of Mechanical
Engineering Sciences is seeking a Research Fellow to work on pan European
project NHyRA “PRE-NORMATIVE RESEARCH ON HYDROGEN RELEASES ASSESSMENT”. Funded
by Horizon Europe, NHyRA aims to develop methodologies to quantify potential
anthropogenic hydrogen releases along the entire hydrogen value chain. The
results will inform the assessment the impact of anthropogenic hydrogen releases
on climate, which is the aim of another EU project.
About the role
New or adequately adapted experimental, theoretical, and simulation
methodologies will be validated in NHyRA to perform laboratory or in-field
measurements to achieve the project goal. The Research Fellow will work under
the supervision of the Surrey PI, Professor Jennifer Wen, to deliver Surry’s
contribution to the project. The researcher will conduct CFD simulations to
validate the measurement/analysis methods of the partners and estimate
anthropogenic hydrogen emissions that cannot be directly measured. He/she will
also need to develop efficient methods to evaluate the overall H2 emission rates
from measurements and analysis conducted by other partners.
This is a full-time post, which should start as soon as possible but with a
fixed end date of 31 December 2026. For an informal discussion about the post
please contact Prof. Jennifer Wen; j.wen@surrey.ac.uk Information about research
activities at FMEG can be found at https://www.surrey.ac.uk/fire-and-
explosion-modelling-group
About you
We are looking for a researcher with a doctoral degree in a relevant discipline
(although individuals who have almost completed a doctoral degree may be
appointed). Experience in CFD simulations for both non-reactive and reactive
flows will be essential. Candidates with experience of OpenFOAM will be
preferable.
About us
The School of Mechanical Engineering Sciences is part of the Faculty of
Engineering and Physical Sciences. The Department, and its degree programmes,
are rated in the top 10 in the UK league tables and top 100 in the Shanghai
Global Ranking of Academic Subjects. The overarching research drivers are
centred around resilience, green living and living well with its highly rated
research carried out in four Centres: Aerodynamics & Environmental Flow (A&EF),
Automotive Engineering, Biomedical Engineering and Engineering Materials.
Benefits
In addition to salary the successful post holder will receive a generous annual
leave entitlement, excellent development opportunities and access to childcare
assistance. Some flexible home working is supported but attendance at our campus
in Guildford will be necessary some of the time.
