Brief Description
The successful candidate will join a well established productive research team working in chemical and biological defence.
The post will involve building and running models using either: commercially available software, in-house software or by producing their own models. The models are typically used to predict the hazard from releases of chemical or biological agents within a range of enclosed environments
Vacancy description
The successful candidate will join a well established productive research team working in chemical and biological defence.
The candidate will have a good background in mathematical modelling ideally indoor dispersion modelling.
The team also has an experimental capability which is used to validate the models and it is expected that the successful candidate would also be involved in some of this work.
The Fluid Dynamics and Indoor Dispersion team has use of a dedicated high power computing facility for running both in-house and COTS software.
The successful candidate will also be expected to engage fully with the development opportunities offered under the two-year graduate development programme
Skills
Essential:
• Experience of mathematical modelling of physical systems.
Desirable:
• Experience of using CFD software (ideally for indoor dispersion).
• Experience of using multizone modelling methods.
• Experience of mathematical modelling for fluid dynamics.
• Experience of programming, ideally using scripting languages.
Qualifications
Essential:
• A minimum of a 2.1 degree in a physical science or engineering.
Desirable:
• A master’s degree or PhD in a physical science or engineering.
• A degree or post graduate qualification with a significant fluid dynamics component to it.
Experience
