IISc-Bengaluru Post Doc Researcher Vacancy – COVID-19 Project
Opening for a post-doc position to work on DNS of COVID-19 related flows
Applications are invited for the position of a post-doctoral research fellow, to work on a project. This is a multi-institutional project involving researchers from IISc-Bengaluru, ICTS-TIFR-Bengaluru, JNCASR-Bengaluru and Nordita (KTH)- Stockholm.
Project Title: “Direct numerical simulation of cough/sneeze/speech flows for understanding transmission dynamics of COVID-19-type infections”. For more details, see
https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s41403-020-00106-w
The project involves
• To carry out direct numerical simulations (DNS) for cough/sneeze/speech flows using an
available code, on a supercomputer housed at one of these institutes.
• To modify the existing code to include the dynamics of individual liquid droplets,
including gravitational settling and phase change, and to parallelize the modified code.
• To carry out a study on the computed results to improve our understanding of these flows, and to develop physics-based models.
Required qualifications/skills are as follows:
• Ph.D. in Chemical Engineering or in Physics with the PhD topic
being in computational and theoretical fluid dynamics.
• Strong understanding of fluid dynamics, turbulence and moist thermodynamics.
• Good expertise in numerical programming, code parallelization and running codes on a
supercomputer.
• Strong publication record.
• Excellent writing and communication skills.
The Postdoctoral Fellow will be expected to make independent and rapid progress.
How To Apply:
Those interested are encouraged to apply to the Raman Post-doc program at IISc
(https://iisc.ac.in/post-docs/) or the ICTS post-doctoral fellowship program
(https://www.icts.res.in/academic/postdoctoral-fellowships). These fellowships are highly competitive and only outstanding candidates will be considered.
