The Institute of Fluid Dynamics at Helmholtz-Zentrum
Dresden-Rossendorf (HZDR) invites for applications for a PhD position
in the field of experimental fluid dynamics. The research tasks
involve experiments on precessing fluid flows and are essential for
the preparation of the large scale dynamo experiment currently under
construction at HZDR.
Within the project DRESDYN (DREsden Sodium facility for DYNamo and
thermohydraulic studies) a liquid metal dynamo experiment is
currently being constructed at HZDR, in which a flow of liquid sodium,
solely driven by precession will be applied for triggering fluid flow
driven magnetic field generation. The PhD student will be responsible
for running regular experiments at a down-scaled water precession
experiment in preparation for the large scale device. The doctoral
student will conduct flow measurements with Ultrasonic Doppler
Velocimetry and related measurements of global quantities, like
pressure, power consumption and/or torques in order to characterize
the behavior of the flow and to scale for the large liquid metal
experiment. Further task will be the upgrade of the experiment by
assembling a new container at which internal baffles will be mounted
in order to increase the forcing efficiency. Intensive cooperation
with the project partners at Ruhr-Universitaet Bochum
(Prof. R. Grauer), where related numerical models are conducted, is
mandatory.
The position will be available from 1 July 2019. The employment
contract is limited to three years.
REQUIREMENTS:
* Diploma or M.Sc in physics/mechanical engineering or related
subjects with very good marks and a profound background in fluid
dynamics and/or magnetohydrodynamics
* experience in the operation of experiments, preferably in the field
of fluid dynamics
* willingness for close cooperation with project partners from
Universitaet Bochum who will conduct related numerical studies
(includes travel to Bochum 1-2 times a year)
* scientific approach to research questions, self-dependent working
style and excellent written and oral communication skills in English
WE OFFER:
* high scientific professional networking as well as scientific
excellence
* internationality and diversity
* interesting and diverse tasks, flexible working hours, salary based
on the collective agreement TVöD-Bund
* equality of opportunity and family-friendly structures, corporate
health management
* attractive work and research terms in a highly motivated team
Kindly submit your completed application (including cover letter, CV,
diplomas/transcripts, etc.) by 30 April 2019 via Email to
