Postdoctoral Research Fellow in Multiphase Flow Experiments

Job specification

Prof. Xuerui Mao’s research group at Beijing Institute of Technology (BIT) is seeking postdoctoral researchers in the experiments of multiphase flow with phase change.  

The duty of the role is within the range of: 1) developing generators of ice particles and water droplets in an icing wind tunnel, 2) calibrating and performing icing tunnel experiments, 3) co-supervising postgraduate students and co-writing reports and papers.

The annual salary is from 250K to 400K RMB depending on the experience and track record(no less than £2150 per month after-tax). The University offers one-bedroom accommodation within the campus costing 1200 RMB per month.
