STFC Ernest Rutherford Fellowships | Coventry University

The Fluid and Complex Systems Research Centre (FCS) at Coventry University is looking to host a prestigious Ernest Rutherford Fellowship (ERF).

These fellowships support early career researchers with leadership potential, enabling them to establish independent research programmes. Targeting researchers without permanent academic positions, applications should align with the Science and Technology Facilities Council (STFC) core science areas, including astronomy, solar and planetary science, particle physics, particle astrophysics, cosmology, nuclear physics, and accelerator physics.

Key details

  • Duration & funding: The fellowship is for 5 years, covering salary, research expenses, and travel funding. However, Coventry University has agreed to make this role permanent (grade 8) following the successful award and completion of the fellowship. Teaching duties at 40%, in line with grade 8, would commence following the completion of the fellowship.
  • Eligibility: Open to applicants of any nationality with a PhD (or equivalent experience) and clear leadership potential.
  • Research areas: Theoreticians, numericists, and experimentalists in related fields are encouraged to apply. Our centre conducts unique experimental research in geophysical and astrophysical fluid dynamics.
  • Internal selection: Coventry University can submit only one application, necessitating an internal selection process.

Important dates

  • Expression of interest deadline: Sunday 21 July 2024
  • Internal selection outcome notification: End of July 2024
  • First draft proposal submission: Saturday 7 September 2024
  • Final submission deadline: Tuesday 1 October 2024

Application process

  1. Contact: Interested candidates should reach out to an FCS centre member (Prof. Eun-jin Kim Prof. Alban Potherat, Prof. Susanne Horn, Dr. Janis Priede, or Dr. Junho Park) to discuss and get mentorship.
  2. Visit: Candidates are warmly invited to visit the research centre and meet the team at any time either before or after the internal deadline for expression of interest.
  3. Submission: Submit your expression of interest (template available) or a covering letter with your CV (including top five publications) to Prof. Eun-jin Kim by Sunday 21 July 2024, copying your Coventry University academic mentor.
  4. Interview: Selected candidates will be invited for an interview and a visit to the centre.
  5. Proposal development: The successful candidate will develop their proposal with guidance from their mentor and the research funding team.

Diversity and inclusion

We welcome fellowship applications from diverse backgrounds and underrepresented groups. The ERF scheme supports flexible working, part-time arrangements, and accommodations for personal circumstances such as caring responsibilities or health conditions. Applicants returning from career breaks or those working outside academia are also welcome.

For any queries or to discuss individual circumstances and accessibility requirements, please contact Prof. Eun-jin Kim.

 

 

 

PhD Studentship: Multiphase and Reactive Flows in Natural Materials: Applications in Geosciences

Posted by on 10 May 2024 Comments Off on PhD Studentship: Multiphase and Reactive Flows in Natural Materials: Applications in Geosciences

PhD Studentship: Multiphase and Reactive Flows in Natural Materials: Applications in Geosciences at Coventry University (jobs.ac.uk)

Seeking a highly-talented, motivated, and open-minded candidate, with background in geosciences, fluid physics, or a related discipline (fully-funded, open to all). We aim to develop a modelling platform, trained and validated by laboratory mock-ups and in-situ measurements, to upscale multiphase, reactive flows. Specifically, it will resolve the coupling between fluid and solute transport and reactions (precipitation, dissolution) altering the pore geometry and hence transport properties. The project is linked with an ongoing EPSRC-funded project with British Geological Survey, and upcoming projects with Prof. Lucas Goehring (NTU) and English Heritage.

 

For further details, see here, and contact Dr. Ran Holtzman.

 

Best regards,

Ran

This post is full time and has funding for up to 30 months. 

The earliest start date for this position will be 1st July 2024

The University of Glasgow is seeking to appoint a Research Assistant/Associate within the School of Mathematics & Statistics.

The successful candidate will make a leading contribution to a project on viscous fingering instabilities of free-surface flows working with Dr Katarzyna Kowal in the School of Mathematics and Statistics at the University of Glasgow. This project is funded by the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC) and is available for a period of 30 months. The successful candidate will also be expected to contribute to the formulation and submission of research publications and research proposals as well as help manage and direct this complex and challenging project as opportunities allow.

We are seeking a highly motivated and skilled postdoctoral researcher to join our team to work on the mathematical modelling and analysis of free surface flows prone to a novel fingering instability. The successful candidate will be responsible for conducting cutting-edge research in applied mathematics applied to viscous fluid mechanics. Depending on the interests of the candidate, there will also be the opportunity to conduct small-scale fluid-mechanical experiments to validate theoretical ideas.

For informal enquiries or further information about the project, please contact Dr Katarzyna Kowal, Katarzyna.Kowal@glasgow.ac.uk
