The Institute of Mechanical Process Engineering (IMVT) 
at the University of Stuttgart has an opening for 
a fully-funded Postdoctoral Position in the general area of 

"Experimental Investigation and Numerical Modeling of 
Multiphase and Disperse Phase Flows” 

Our institute conducts theoretical and experimental research 
related to the behavior and the interaction between solid, particulate 
and fluidic (gas/liquid) substances or material systems, as they appear
in the production of high-performance, high-value materials and products, 
in technical applications and processing plants, and in nature.

The candidate will be participating in various ongoing, well-progressed 
research projects, specifically in the area of: 
1.	Hydrodynamic and laser-induced cavitation and 
        surface erosion in the presence of dissolved gases.
2.	CFD-DEM simulation of particle deposition and fluid-structure
        interaction in liquid filtration.    
 
The candidate will also actively support the writing of research 
proposals related to topics including membrane humidifiers and 
the use of wire meshes in PEM fuel-cell stacks. Naturally, a lively 
professional exchange with doctoral students of the institute is also expected. 
(Experimental test-stands for the prescribed research projects are available.)


Your Profile

A doctoral degree in mechanical engineering, chemical engineering, 
aerospace engineering, process engineering or another related 
discipline. Good communication skills, highly motivated, with excellent 
grades and a strong background in theoretical and computational fluid 
mechanics. Experience with multiphase flows, phase-change processes, 
engineering use of PINNs and experimental measurement techniques 
are desired. Experience in Openfoam, ANSYS Fluent/CFX, Matlab/Simulink 
and Python is a plus. Excellent English skills and basic German skills 
are required. 


We offer

Salary for this position is based on the German TV-L system, 
salary group E13 (100%), and the individuals professional experience. 
It is expected that the candidate actively supports education 
and the teaching mission of the institute.
The University of Stuttgart aims to increase the number of 
female employees. Qualified women are therefore especially 
encouraged to apply. Handicapped applicants will be preferred 
if applicability and qualification are equivalent.
