Details are online http://www.jobs.ac.uk/job/AEX522/research-associate-in-multi-scale-modeling-of-surfactant-laden-flows/ or below. Applications are invited for a researcher to work in the Department of Chemical Engineering at Imperial College London based at the South Kensington Campus. The research project is on multi-scale modeling, and analysis, for the engineering and control of surfactant-laden flows. The successful candidate will integrate coarse-grained molecular simulations with continuum-level modeling thereby creating a macroscale model that none the less encapsulates the dominant micro-scale behaviour. This will describe the wetting and spreading of drops doped with super-spreading surfactants and unveil the underlying physics behind this phenomenon. You will also be expected to produce independent and original research in the area of computer simulations of related coarse grained and continuum-scale models. The successful applicant will be fully funded by the EPSRC and will interact with a truly multidisciplinary group spanning several departments at Imperial College London, with experimental partners at University of Loughborough. You should hold, or be near completion of a PhD (or equivalent) in Chemical or Mechanical Engineering, Physics, Chemistry or a closely related discipline. You should have a strong background on the development and use of computer simulation methods, as well as statistical mechanics, thermodynamics and fluid mechanics. Excellent knowledge of FORTRAN and C++, Unix, numerical analysis and a proven publication track record are essential.
