Research Scientist in Experimental Aerodynamics

Applications are invited for the position of Research Scientist to contribute to experimental research in aerodynamics. Candidates should hold a Doctoral degree in Mechanical Engineering, Aeronautical Engineering, or a closely related discipline, with a strong foundation in fluid dynamics.

At the National University of Singapore (NUS), the successful applicant will join a large, highly motivated research group focused on experimental measurements and numerical simulations across a broad range of aerodynamics and fluid mechanics problems. The position offers access to extensive high-performance computing resources at NUS and the National Supercomputing Centre, as well as state-of-the-art experimental facilities and instrumentation.

The appointee will be expected to actively disseminate research outcomes by leading the preparation of manuscripts for peer-reviewed journals, presenting findings at international conferences, and showcasing results at other appropriate forums. The role also involves supporting project-related administrative duties, including risk assessments, coordination of project meetings, and research documentation, as well as any other responsibilities assigned by the line manager following consultation with the post holder.

• Strong experience and understanding of aerodynamics and/or fluid mechanics
• Background in one or more of the following areas: bluff-body flows, airfoils, active and passive flow control, boundary-layer flows, multiphase flows, and bio-inspired aerodynamics
• Good hands-on skills and practical experience in designing and assembling experimental test rigs and in wind tunnel testing
• Demonstratable prior experience in experimental techniques such as hot-wire CTA, particle image velocimetry, load cell and/or external force balance, wake rake, oil film interferometry, tuft flow and smoke flow visualisation, etc.
• Experience in programming using MATLAB or similar languages for data post-processing and analysis
• Ability to work independently and as part of a team
• Good written and oral communication skills

• Experience in applying machine learning techniques to engineering or scientific problems
