Research Fellow - Singapur, Singapore - Nanyang Technological University
Description
The Asian School of the Environment (ASE) is an interdisciplinary school that will be a world leader in environmental research focused on Asian environmental challenges. The ASE integrates earth and environmental life science, ecology, engineering and technology, human ecology, humanities, and the social sciences to address key issues of the environment and sustainability.
We seek a Research Fellow with demonstrable experience in the field of experimental fluid dynamics both in physical modelling and measurement, preferably someone with experience with Particle Image Velocimetry (PIV) and Particle Tracking Velocimetry (PTV) and in-depth knowledge of experimental fluid mechanics. The successful candidate will work with the Volcano team to model the magma flow during transport and eruption in the magma transport laboratory. He/she may be expected to help co-mentor PhD students or research assistants in the group.
