The University of Dundee is seeking an exceptional candidate to join our Magnetohydrodynamics research group in Applied Mathematics, based within the School of Science and Engineering.
Mathematics at Dundee was ranked 8th (of 53) in the UK and 1st in Scotland in the national Research Excellence Framework assessment in 2014 – a major contributor to this success was the internationally-recognised research of the Magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) group. The MHD group carries out fundamental research into the structure and dynamics of magnetic fields and plasmas, using a combination of numerical simulations (HPC) and mathematical analysis based on dynamical systems theory, braid theory and differential geometry. The main areas of application are astrophysical plasmas, particularly solar plasmas. Group members also work on applications to laboratory plasmas and other fluid dynamical systems (for more details see http://www.maths.dundee.ac.uk/mhd/ ).
The successful candidate will be expected to perform internationally leading research in an area that complements that of the MHD group. We interpret the research area in its broadest sense and welcome applications in all areas of theory, modelling and observations of plasmas and fluids. The successful candidate should also have a commitment to excellence in teaching. Mathematics as a discipline has been placed in the top 10 in the UK in all major subject league tables in 2016, and offers a range of undergraduate and MSc degrees.
The School holds Athena Swan Bronze Awards in all of its discipline areas, recognising its commitment and success in developing practices to support the careers of women in science, technology, engineering, mathematics and medicine (STEMM) in academia.

Appointment will be at grade 7 – 8 Lecturer (£34,576 – £46,414)
Closing Date: 6 March 2016
Informal inquires may be made to Prof Gunnar Hornig g.hornig@dundee.ac.uk or Dr David Pontin d.i.pontin@dundee.ac.uk
Scientist position
at MHD Department, Institute of Fluid Dynamics
of Helmholtz-Zentrum Dresden – Rossendorf (HZDR)
Yet without a vacancy notice number, the following scientist position will soon be officially announced.
The MHD department at HZDR is looking for a scientist (f/m) for the modeling of liquid metal based stationary electricity storage systems (liquid metal batteries).
Liquid metal batteries are a promising candidate for future large scale storage of electricity from volatile sources as photovoltaic and wind power. Single cells consist of a three layer arrangement of two liquid metals and a molten salt sandwiched in between them, forming stable density stratification. Not only is the MHD of such devices rich and interesting but also their integration into tomorrow’s power grids poses a number of challenges.
You should have a university degree (diploma or MSc) in the field of power engineering, electrical engineering, physics, mechanical engineering or process engineering. Interdisciplinary thinking, the ability for independent scientific work and active communication skills are essential for a successful implementation of the project. Experience in the modeling of battery storage systems and the knowledge of energy management systems would be advantageously. A background in fluid mechanics, heat- and mass transfer and/or electrochemistry would greatly facilitate the detailed simulation of liquid metal batteries.
Your tasks will include:
For further information, please contact Tom Weier (t.weier@hzdr.de) or Sven Eckert (s.eckert@hzdr.de).
The position will soon be announced on the HZDR web-page with a related vacancy notice number. Once this is case, please submit your complete application (cover letter, CV, certificates,…) before February 15, 2016 via Online application https://www.hzdr.de/jobs.
4 PhD positions
at MHD Department, Institute of Fluid Dynamics
of Helmholtz-Zentrum Dresden – Rossendorf (HZDR)
Bautzner Landstr. 400, 01328 Dresden, Germany
HZDR invites applications for 4 PhD positions at the Department of Magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) of the Institute of Fluid Dynamics. For all positions we are looking for students with excellent skills and first experiences in the field of fluid mechanics. Prior knowledge of liquid metal MHD or CFD is welcome but not required. All positions will be available from 01.04.2016. The starting dates can be agreed upon individually.The employment contract is limited to three years. The weekly working time will be 75% of regular weekly working time according to the collective agreement TVöD. The salary is based on the collective agreement TVöD-Bund and will be in the range of 35000-40000 Euro per annum. The place of work is Dresden-Rossendorf.
Metal recovery from slags uses the top submerged lance technology (www.outotec.com) in which gas is injected into a slag melt via a submerged lance from above. In order to improve the energy and resource efficiency of the process, the announced position shall perform experimental modelling of this process. Extensive experiences exist at HZDR on the handling of the room-temperature model melt GaInSn. The work in frame of this position is a joint project of the Helmholtz Institute Freiberg (HIF) for Resource Technology with the Institute of Fluid Dynamics at HZDR which both belong to HZDR. The general goal is to bring together basic fluiddynamic methods with practically relevant resource technologies, and to transfer the results to industrial partners.
Fluid flow and the related heat and mass transfer occurring in the continuous casting of steel have a distinct influence on the efficiency of the process and the final product quality. Electromagnetic fields are already in use in the industry for the purpose of an efficient flow control. However, there is still a significant need of research for achieving a better understanding of the interaction between magnetic field and turbulent flow. Such knowledge is required for optimization of the process parameters. The PhD candidate shall conduct an experimental modeling of flow problems related to continuous casting of steel using low-melting point metal alloys. At HZDR there exist corresponding experimental facilities (LIMMCAST program) as well as suitable techniques for liquid metal flow measurements.
Metal recovery from slags uses the top submerged lance technology (www.outotec.com) in which gas is injected into a slag melt via a submerged lance from above. In order to improve the energy and resource efficiency of the process, the successful candidate for this position shall perform numerical simulations of this process. Extensive experiences exist at HZDR on the numerical simulation of complex two-phase flows. Experimental data and first numerical simulations of simplified water models are available from literature. The work in frame of this position is a joint project of the Helmholtz Institute Freiberg (HIF) for Resource Technology with the Institute of Fluid Dynamics at HZDR which both belong to HZDR. The general goal is to bring together basic fluiddynamic methods with practically relevant resource technologies, and to transfer the results to industrial partners.
Metallic melts in industrial processes usually contain fine-dispersed particles (for instance oxides), which could have a detrimental effect on the mechanical properties of the final product. Such particles can be extracted by flotation. For that purpose gas bubbles will be injected into the melt in order to collect the impurities at the gas-liquid interface. The current project will investigate fundamental mechanisms which play an important role for the agglomeration of particles at the bubble surface. Another topic concerns the behaviour of particles in the vicinity of a propagating solidification front. The PhD candidate shall investigate the processes mentioned above by means of X-ray diagnostic techniques. The corresponding facilities and measuring techniques are available at HZDR.
For further information on all positions, please contact Dr. Sven Eckert, Tel.: +49 351 260 – 2132 (s.eckert@hzdr.de) or Dr. Gunter Gerbeth, Tel.: +49 351 260 – 3480 (g.gerbeth@hzdr.de).
