The chair of numerical fluid and gas dynamics at BTU wants to initiate a Young 
Researcher Group (YRG) on stochastic multi scale modeling in computational fluid 
mechanics (CFD) with a strong focus on energy conversion problems. The group 
consists of a group leader E14 position (open from July 2022) and several group 
members financed through E13 positions or research stipends (flexible begin from 
July 2022 until June 2023).

We invite excellent scientists with a doctorate to apply as a junior research 
group leader for the YRG. As group leader of the YRG, you will have the 
opportunity to develop a research focus stochastic on stochastic multi scale flow 
modeling in CFD with application to energy conversion problems. The stochastic 
modeling approaches should have a connection to the chairs' expertise, se e.g.
https://www.researchgate.net/profile/Heiko-Schmidt-2 

As group leader, you will benefit from excellent conditions for your academic 
career development. You can apply if you completed your doctorate not more than 
three years ago. The Young Investigator Group includes a position for the group 
leader (full-time, temporary for up to 4 years (based on personal and labour law 
requirements), pay scale E14 TV-L). 

You should have an excellent background proofed by high level publications in at 
least two of the following areas: Monte Carlo Simulations, LBM, SPH, DNS or LES 
using academic codes. Experience in commercial CFD solvers and OpenFoam is not 
sufficient! Additionally you should have simulation experience in one of the 
following areas: boundary layers, roughness effects, particulate/aerosol flows, 
wind energy, combustion, reactive systems, heat transfer, electrolysis or 
catalysis.

Experience in C++, Python and/or machine learning is a plus.

Ph.D. students:
We look for several Ph.D. students with initial experience on a M.Sc.(not longer 
than three years ago) level in the areas given above.

Please send applications only via email including a motivation letter and your CV 
in ONE pdf document not bigger than 8MB to heischmi@zedat.fu-berlin.de
Please indicate in the subject: YRG-PHD or YRG-POSTDOC when you apply for the 
Ph.D. or group leader position, respectively.
