PHD STUDENTSHIP IN FLUID DYNAMICS (MAGNETOHYDRODYNAMICS) AT COVENTRY UNIVERSITY (UK)
———————————————–
(from Sergei Molokov, Coventry, UK)

PhD Studentship in Fluid Dynamics (Magnetohydrodynamics)
Coventry University
Faculty of Engineering and Computing

£13,260 maintenance per annum (tax free)
Funded by EPSRC, Culham Centre for Fusion Energy

Coventry University invites applications for a 3.5-year PhD Industrial CASE studentship in Fluid Dynamics. The studentship is co-funded by the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council and Culham Centre for Fusion Energy (http://www.ccfe.ac.uk/) . The work, to be performed in collaboration with Culham and with Ilmenau University of Technology (Germany, http://www.tu-ilmenau.de/tfd/ ), involves Direct Numerical Simulation of turbulent flow in rectangular ducts with reference to liquid metal blankets for fusion reactors.

Candidates must be EU nationals holding a BSc degree in Mathematics, Physics or a related discipline. Exceptional candidates from outside of the EU are also encouraged to apply.

Provisional starting date is 23rd January 2012.

For an informal discussion please contact Prof Sergei Molokov at s.molokov@coventry.ac.uk (http://nestor2.coventry.ac.uk/research/appmath/staff/molokov.php)

Dear colleagues,

a PhD teaching assistant position is open in the Physics Department of the Université Libre de Bruxelles. The research topic (to be defined exactly with the successful candidate) is in the domain of modeling and simulation of magnetohydrodynamic turbulence or multiphase flow (liquid-gaz interface). Work should be performed in the framework of a PhD thesis.

Teaching activities (around 150/200 hours per year) include exercises and laboratory supervision of students in the bachelor programme of the Physics Department (essentially for the general physics courses). These courses are given in french and a good knowledge of the langage is therefore required.

I would be grateful if you could forward the information to potential candidates and to your colleagues that could relay it.

Candidates may contact me directly at: bknaepen(at)ulb.ac.be

Thank you in advance,

Best regards,

Bernard Knaepen.
