The Laboratory for Fluid-Structure Interaction (LIFE)
(http://labfsi.com/) of the Department of Mechanical Engineering at
the Universitat Rovira i Virgili (URV) (www.urv.cat) in Tarragona
(Spain), is looking for an enthusiastic research student with a
strong interest in fluid dynamics and fluid-structure interactions.
Successful candidates will join a small but very active
multidisciplinary team, working in several fluid-structure
interaction (FSI) problems. The research will be mainly experimental
and focused FSI with application to several engineering problems.
The main topic that will be considered during the research include
but are not limited to “vortex-induced vibrations for energy
harvesting applications”.
Applicants will enroll in the Inter-University PhD Programme in
Fluid Mechanics
(http://www.doctor.urv.cat/en/prospective-students/courses/7720/index/)
in which the URV participates together with other Spanish
Universities: U. Jaén, U. Politécnica de Madrid, U. Zaragoza, U.
Carlos III Madrid y UNED.
CANDIDATES:
Successful applicants must hold a Master degree in Engineering (at
least equivalent to a 5 years course in Engineering) at the time of
the application, in the areas of Mechanical, Industrial,
Aeronautical, Naval or Civil Engineering (note that other
backgrounds might not be considered). Preference will be given to
candidates able to demonstrate the following desired skills:
- Matlab / Python / LabVIEW
- Mechanical engineering design tools such as Inventor, Creo,
etc.
- Simulation tools such as OpenFOAM, NASTRAN, ANSYS,…
- Experience with the use of optical measurement techniques, with
emphasis in DPIV.
DETAILS AND APPLICATION PROCEDURE:
The call for applications will be opened from 12/01/2023 to
26/01/2023 and managed the Agencia Estatal de Investigación:
https://www.aei.gob.es/convocatorias/buscador-convocatorias/ayudas-contratos-predoctorales-formacion-doctoresas-2022
Interested candidates should send to Prof. Francisco J Huera-Huarte
([log in para visualizar]), before the 10/01/2023:
- Motivation letter
- Full CV
- Academic transcripts of Undergraduate and Master degrees
- Name and contact details (email and phone) of two academic
referees
