Institut für Flugantriebe und Strömungsmaschinen
With more than 16,000 students and 3,800 employees, the Technische Universität Braunschweig is one of Germany´s leading institutes of technology. It stands for strategic and performance-oriented thinking and acting, relevant research, committed teaching, and the successful transfer of knowledge and technologies to the economy and society. We consistently advocate for family friendliness and equal opportunities.
Our research focuses are mobility, engineering for health, metrology, and city of the future. Strong engineering and natural sciences are our core disciplines. These are closely interconnected with economics, social and educational sciences and humanities.
Our campus is located in the midst of one of the most research-intensive regions in Europe. We work successfully together with over 20 research institutions in our neighborhood as we do with our international partner universities.
Starting from the earliest possible date, the Institute of Jet Propulsion and Turbomachinery is looking for a
Research Associate (m/f/d) in the field of
Numerical investigation of micro structured surfaces for heat transfer in turbofan engines
(EG 13 TV-L, full-time)
The position is to be filled on a fixed-term basis for 3 years. The successful applicant will be given the opportunity to pursue a doctorate.
With the major goal of climate-neutral flying, we are exploring potentials and synergies through highly integrated aircraft development in numerous sub-projects at TU Braunschweig, University of Stuttgart, LUH Hannover and DLR Braunschweig in the new research centre SynTrac. In the sub-project B01 at the institute for Jet Propulsion and Turbomachinery you will deal with the functional integration of micro-structured surfaces for the improved transfer of waste heat in highly integrated propulsors. Using CFD methods (URANS and LES/DNS), effects and sensitivities are to be analyzed and transferred to a reduced-order model. A major focus of the studies is on the question of the sensitivity of the heat-transferring structures to fouling degradation mechanisms.
Your path to a doctorate in an interdisciplinary and cross-location research team will be accompanied by an integrated research training group. New forms of collaboration will emerge through the concept of "New Work".
