Postdoctoral research positions are available in the area of Applied Mathematics
The successful applicant(s) will work with J.M. Vega and/or C.Martel in the Applied Math group at the School of Aeronautics, Polytechnic University of Madrid, in Applied Math problems arising in Fluid Dynamics, using analytical (perturbation methods, bifurcation and dynamical systems theory) and/or numerical tools. And will work in one of the following current projects of the group, funded by Spanish goverment and Aeronautical industry include: (a) Derivation and analysis of amplitude equations to analyse instabilities in complex flows; (b) Derivation of simplified models based on POD to analyse complex aerodynamic flows; (c) analysis and design of thermal MEMS for cooling CPUs; (d) boundary layer transition and control; and (e) Aeroacoustics.
The initial appointment will be for one year with a possible extension of two to three years after that.Applicants should have a Applied Math, Engineering or Physics and experience in Applied Math/Fluid Dynamics. Previous experience related to one of the problems mentioned above and a two-year postdoctoral experience would be also beneficial.
