  1. 11th PAMIR INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON FUNDAMENTAL AND APPLIED MHD
    —————————–
    (from Anne-Lise Daltin, France)
    The next PAMIR conference will be organised by SIMaP (University of Grenoble) and LISM (University of Reims Champagne-Ardenne), Reims, France, from July 1st to July 5th, 2019.

    Message from The Chairmen

    We are pleased to welcome you to the 11th pamir conference in the city of Reims, an Art and History City with its UNESCO World Heritage sites.

    The topics of the Conference are the same of the past editions, but together with the usual topics there are someone that has been only recently introduced, such as the thermoacoustic effect, the born-again interest for the MHD power generation and the magnetoelectrochemistry. The introduction of new topics at each edition of this conference is the signal that MHD is still a child science and it needs to grow. Most part of processes, devices and applications that are presented in this conference are futuristic, but this is the nature of MagnetoHydroDynamics, which very often deals with unexplored territories of science and technology.

    It is aim of this edition of the pamir to maintain this tradition, and to favour new advances and transnational collaborations in this fascinating field of research.

    We are looking forward to meeting you in Reims during pamir 2019 and to sharing a most pleasant, interesting and fruitful conference.

    More detail about the both organisations of the conference and summer school could be found on the web site of the conference:

Research Associate – Centre for Flow Measurement and Fluid Mechanics

Coventry University has established a significant Research Centre in Flow Measurement and Fluid Mechanics. The Centre has been in existence for 18 months and has established a solid and active portfolio of projects with substantial external funding success from funders. The Centre focuses on the high value to be gained from linking the applied art of flow measurement with the fundamental science of fluid mechanics and most of our work involves experimental, computational and theoretical foundations.

As part of our research strategy the Centre is now looking for a talented Research Associate to join our team to support the delivery of a growing portfolio of research projects.  The post-holder will predominantly assist in the delivery of externally-funded research projects for a variety of UK and international organisations.

With experience in a research environment and a good understanding of research methods with strong experimental focus, you should have a good level of knowledge in fluid flow and flow instrumentation and an ability to apply this knowledge in a multi-disciplinary environment. The post-holder must be comfortable working in a laboratory or industrial environment.

You must have a PhD or have equivalent professional experience in fluid dynamics, applied mathematics, applied physics or a similar discipline. Excellent critical analysis, project management, communication skills and well-developed interpersonal skills are essential, as is the ability to work effectively in a team and on your own initiative. Some of the projects will involve working away from Coventry, with the need to travel elsewhere in the UK and Europe for short periods.

 

To find out more about our work and to tell us more about how you can contribute, visit our website and register your interest or apply online.
