Offer Description
For this Ph.D. position you will gain a broad understanding ranging from propulsion and the use of new fuels to aircraft performance and its operation. You then apply your knowledge to minimize future climate impact from aviation.
Information about the division and the department
The department of Mechanics and Maritime Sciences at Chalmers conduct fundamental and applied research in all modes of transport. The division of Fluid Dynamics is one of the seven divisions within the department. Research at the division covers turbulent flow (both compressible and incompressible), aeroacoustics, and turbomachines. The research group of turbomachinery and aeroacoustics, consisting of two professors, one associate professor, one assistant professor, two researchers and nine Ph.D. students, is part of the fluid dynamics division. Focusing on the area of air transport, the group works mainly with aircraft propulsion. This includes system level assessment, engine concept evaluation, and detailed component design and optimization, such as compressors, turbines, transition ducts and heat-exchangers, through implementing combinations of numerical modeling and experiments. Based on the in-house tools developed for aircraft propulsion system design and emissions assessment, the research portfolio of the group has been expanded to multidisciplinary topics, such as improved climate impact modelling of air transport. I collaboration with the Swedish air transport authorities, airlines and aero engine industry we will try to develop new understanding for the climate impact of flying.
Major responsibilities
Your major responsibilities as a PhD student are to pursue your own doctoral studies. You are expected to conduct research activities in a national research project on climate evaluation of aircraft operation, and to develop your own scientific concepts and communicate the results of your research verbally and in writing. The position also includes teaching on Chalmers' undergraduate level or performing other duties corresponding to 20 percent of your working hours. You are expected to write a licentiate thesis within 2-3 years and defend your doctoral thesis within 4-5 years.
