Research Assistant in Engine Modelling

at  Oxford Brookes University

PART TIME, FIXED TERM - RESEARCH

This is a part time (0.5fte) fixed term role for 14 months.
The Faculty of Health, Science and Technology at Oxford Brookes University has an international reputation for excellence, innovation and creativity. The Propulsion & Pollution Modelling (PPM) Research Group, part of the School of Engineering, Computing and Mathematics, has been involved in major engine development R&D projects and, in recent years, is increasingly focusing on zero-carbon fuel propulsion.
Thanks to its expertise and established reputation, the PPM Group has been invited to join the existing APC22 Project Cavendish. The large, multi-partner £10m industrial project, led by Phinia/Delphi UK, aims to demonstrate the conversion of a heavy-duty diesel truck engine into a zero-carbon propulsion system fuelled purely by hydrogen. The PPM will develop advanced 3D CFD in-cylinder models to support the optimisation of fuel injection and combustion.
This is a technically-challenging industrial project which requires fast generation of results by OBU – the only academic partner. The PPM Group is currently seeking to expand through recruitment of a part-time Research Assistant. The new researcher will be involved in the development, validation and operation of a new comprehensive modelling protocol, which includes state-of-the-art features such as hybrid hydrogen combustion modelling. The sucessful candidate will possess specific existing skills and software knowledge to be able to deliver results from the outset.
As one of the largest employers in Oxford we pride ourselves in the great experience we offer our staff. You’ll be joining a friendly, professional environment where every member of staff is recognised as important to the success of Oxford Brookes University.
