I — Associate Professor Research FCS (Coventry, UK)

 

Job Title Associate Professor Research FCS
Job Reference 903
Application Closing Date 19/11/2023
Division, Department Research Institute for Complex Systems (ICS), ICS Research Centre for Fluid and Complex Systems (FCS)
Salary £57,696.00 – £71,469.00 per annum
Mode Permanent, Full Time

 

Applications are invited for an Associate Professor in statistical physics, fluid mechanics or nonequilibrium systems in the Centre for Fluid and Complex Systems, Coventry University.
As an Associate Professor (Research) you will actively be contributing to the research strategy and activities within the Research Centre with the aim of providing strategic direction, academic leadership and management of research.

The post is expected to align with one of the following research groups:

  • The Nonequilibrium in Environment and Engineering Systems (NEES) research group uses a blend of engineering sciences, physics and mathematics to study and model problems involving fluid dynamics and nonequilibrium systems and their applications to environmental and geophysical problems.
  • The Statistical Physics research group is interdisciplinary in nature and combines network science, cultural complexity, biophysics, sociophysics, computational physics, scientometrics, stochastic dynamics in nature/laboratory, information theory, and other areas. Classical and quantum statistical physics, focusing on universality in and out-of-equilibrium, also remains at the core of the group’s activities.
  • The Fluids research group specialises in turbulence, instabilities, magnetohydrodynamics, transition and control, particulate flows, rotating flows, convection and plasma physics. Besides an internationally recognised expertise in these fundamental fields, the group is renowned for its cutting-edge research based on the application of these fields into industrial fluid mechanics, nuclear fusion, astrophysical fluid dynamics and especially geophysical fluid dynamics and planetary interiors.

The centre operates at the core of a large network of international collaborators with the specificity of blending theoretical with in-house experimental approaches. The centre maps to REF Unit of Assessment 10 (mathematics) and 95% of its output was deemed internationally excellent or world-leading during the 2021 REF exercise. The centre’s research is supported by UK and European funding bodies (UKRI, ERC and others), as well as industry.

As an Associate Professor within FCS you will be responsible for commissioning and leading impactful research while working with the head of the group to provide leadership in research activity or develop and lead independent research groups. You will take the lead in promoting and disseminating research outputs in a range of field-specific media, attend and present research at relevant conferences, give invited lectures, chair sessions and sit on conference organising committees. You will lead major funding bids and seek and secure external research funding.

The role will allow you to take an active lead in the research centres strategy and agenda, producing research with a demonstrable contribution to society and the economy through developing relationships and partnerships externally. You will also be a key part of leading the research culture and environment of the university group while supervising research fellows/assistants, doctoral students, masters’ students, technical and other support staff.

IV — BIFD 2024 — Bifurcations and Instabilities in Fluid Dynamics (Edinburgh, UK)

Dear Colleague,

 

We would like to warmly welcome you to The 10th Bifurcations and Instabilities in Fluid Dynamics (BIFD) meeting to be held in Edinburgh from 24-28 June 2024.

BIFD Edinburgh 2024 is jointly organised by The University of Edinburgh (Schools of Engineering and Physics & Astronomy), Imperial College London (Department of Chemical Engineering) and The University of Strathclyde (Department of Mathematics and Statistics).

As you might already know BIFD is a biannual event and BIFD Edinburgh 2024 is its 10th international symposium making it even more special. The Symposium typically attracts >200 researchers (pre-COVID) from all over the globe working in nearly all areas of fluid dynamics. We expect BIFD Edinburgh 2024 to also do the same and in fact, attract >230 researchers. BIFD series is also a fantastic platform for early career researchers to showcase their work.

We have an excellent set of Keynote Speakers lined up. The BIFD Edinburgh 2024 will have talks and posters. An array of social interactions including traditional Scottish entertainment is organised.

Science must be accessible and inclusive. So we are inviting sponsors to enable researchers from under-represented groups, conflict zones and low-middle-income countries to attend this Symposium. This will also help keep the registration fee as low as possible covering all 4 days of conference lunches, gala dinner, welcome receptions, and Symposium merchandise.

All information in the flyer is attached at the website below! Please circulate this in your groups. Looking forward to seeing you all at Edinburgh in June 2024.
