• University of Leeds, Faculty of Mathematics and Physical Sciences with the Faculty of Engineering, School of Physics and Astronomy/Applied Mathematics
  Industrial Applications of Polymer Process Molecular-based Modelling
  Research Fellow in Industrial Knowledge Transfer (Software tools) (Full Time) - Funding is available for the post holder for a maximum of 18 months from the start of the appointment. However the funding will cease on 9 December 2009.
  Closing date for applications: 28th May 2008
  You will be responsible for the implementation and knowledge-transfer (KT) of the software tools, working methods and results of the "Microscale Polymer Processing" project with the industrial members of the consortium. You will maintain a portfolio of several projects at any one time applying models of processes from polymerization to rheology and process flows. Significant periods of time will be spent working within the industrial research centres, which are globally distributed, but mostly in Europe, as well as at your base in the School of Physics and Astronomy at the University of Leeds, and at the other academic members of the consortium as appropriate. Senior applicants with project management experience will have the opportunity to assist in the administration of the project.

• PhD position available: Numerical modelling of colloidal suspensions with particle methods The Institute of Aerodynamics at the Department of Mechanical Engineering (TU Munich) offers a fully-funded research associate position (BAT IIa) within the newly established Microfluidics group. The position will be supported by the German Science Foundation, via the EmmyNoether Program “Unified Lagrangian particle models for the simulation of complex fluids and multiscale flow phenomena”.
  The successful applicant is expected to conduct research leading to a PhD in the area of numerical and theoretical modeling of particle methods (Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics, Dissipative Particle Dynamics) for the simulation of colloidal suspensions. He/she will work on the computational implementation of novel mesoscopic models on a 3D parallelized particle algorithm already available in our group. From a theoretical point of view, particular focus will be on the study of the complex interplay between the colloidal microstructure and the rheology of the macroscopic suspension. The project will benefit from close collaboration with the theoretical group of Prof. Espanol at the Department of Physics, UNED in Madrid. The ideal candidate will have a very strong knowledge of programming and computer simulation techniques (specially C/C++) and a solid background in physics, mathematics and /or engineering. This position offers the opportunity to work in a young and motivated growing team on Microfluidics and to interact with international leadingedge researchers working on multiscale methods for complex fluids. Financial resources for shortterm stay at collaborative centers as well for attending workshops and conferences will be available.
  The Technical University Munich is an Equal Opportunity employer. Women, minorities and candidates with disabilities are therefore strongly encouraged to apply. Interested candidates should submit a full curriculum vitae, covering letter together with academic records (pdf.file, please) at the email address given below.
