We are in need of computational scientists to carry out heat and mass transfer research. The research is focused on gaining basic understanding of physical processes through theory and numerical experiments. The scientist may work on several different projects and must be able to apply research results to impact engineering projects. We are interested in candidates with skills in the areas of forced and natural convection heat transfer, gas flow in multiphase systems, material and chemical processes, hydrogen technology, and renewable energy systems. We are seeking candidates who can employ an appropriate combination of analytical and computational methods in problem-solving.
Candidates should have working knowledge in one or more of the following topical areas: multiphase systems, electrochemical systems, material processes, and/or renewable energy systems. Experience with computational fluid dynamics is desired, both compressible and incompressible flows, as well as methods development and highperformance computing. Candidates should be able to synthesize information from
physical and numerical experiments to solve engineering problems. We work on a dynamic and ever-changing set of problems. Successful candidates will be flexible and demonstrate the ability to rapidly master new physical areas.
Required:
* A Ph.D. is required in Mechanical Engineering, Chemical Engineering, or related physical sciences with experience in numerical simulation of fluid mechanics and heat transfer.
* Candidates are expected to have a strong publication record and to have demonstrated ability to make original contributions to the engineering science of heat and mass transfer.
* Candidates should have strong communication, organization, and problem-solving skills.
* Experience with computer simulation, numerical methods, and computational fluid dynamics.
* U.S. Citizenship and the ability to obtain a DOE clearance is required.
