The grants are funded by the Research Council of Norway through the project "Nonlinear Problems in Mathematical Analysis". For the postdoctoral fellowship, the grant period is normally two years, but employment as a researcher for a shorter period may also be considered. PhD Fellows are hired for a period of 3 or 4 years. For both positions successful candidates are expected to start working sometime between August 1, 2008 and January 1, 2009. The project will be centred around current trends in the intersection between partial differential equations and harmonic analysis, including relevant aspects of complex analysis. Numerical methods are relevant. Postdoctoral Fellows receive a gross salary between NOK 394 700 and NOK 613 100 per year, while PhD Fellows receive a gross salary NOK 325 600 per year. Only written applications sent to Norwegian University of Science and Technology, Faculty of Information Technology, Mathematics and Electrical Engineering, NO - 7491 Trondheim, NORWAY, marked IME 017-2008, will be considered. The deadline is April 15, 2008. For further information, please consult www.math.ntnu.no/~seip/NoPiMA/ ------ Subject: Research Fellowship in Wind Turbine CFD at Glasgow University From: "M. Sergio Campobasso" Date: Sun, 30 Mar 2008 04:00:30 -0500 We are seeking a highly motivated Researcher to work on a research project funded by the British Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC). This project also benefits from the collaboration with national and international leading companies in the market of large and small wind turbines. The research programme to be undertaken is an exciting and unique opportunity to work in the rapidly growing scientific and technological sector of renewable energy engineering. The project concerns the implementation, validation and demonstration of a novel CFD methodology for Horizontal Axis Wind Turbine (HAWT) unsteady aerodynamics. The general framework is HAWT aerodynamic and aeroelastic design based on the 3D RANS flow model. The primary objectives are to enhance the accuracy and computational efficiency of high-fidelity computational aerodynamics tools, and improve the understanding of complex features of wind turbine unsteady flows. The successful applicant should have a PhD in a relevant computational engineering field with a strong emphasis on RANS-based CFD, and will have significant expertise in CFD software design and development. This post is available from May 2008 or as soon as possible thereafter.
