Research Fellow in Aeroacoustics

University of Southampton

Location: Southampton
Salary: £35,880 per annum
Hours: Full Time
Contract Type: Fixed-Term/Contract
Placed On: 10th October 2024
Closes: 7th November 2024
Job Ref: 2887224DA
 

Full Time Fixed Term until 28/02/2027

The University of Southampton is a world-leading institution for aircraft noise research, home to the Rolls-Royce University Technology Centre in Gas Turbine Noise at the Institute of Sound and Vibration Research (ISVR). Advanced Air Mobility (AAM) presents an opportunity to revolutionize public transportation by offering significant travel-time savings and improved connectivity, with potential socioeconomic benefits. However, noise remains a significant barrier to public acceptance. 

We are seeking applications for a Research Fellow, funded by the EPSRC, to join an exciting new project focused on understanding the aerodynamics and aeroacoustics of overlapping propeller systems. This project will involve high-fidelity flow and noise measurements, combined with semi-analytical predictive models, to establish new physical principles for designing high-efficiency, low-noise multi-rotor configurations. 

You will have access to state-of-the-art facilities for conducting aeroacoustics measurements and will require mathematical understanding to interpret and explain the results. The specific focus of your project will be tailored to your interests and skills within the broader topics, and you will collaborate with other researchers addressing similar challenges.

Qualifications, Experience, and Skills

To be successful in this role, you should:

  • Hold a PhD or equivalent professional qualifications and experience in aeroacoustics, with a strong emphasis on data analysis and a deep understanding of aeroacoustics fundamentals. (Applications for Research Fellow positions will be considered from candidates who are working towards or nearing completion of a relevant PhD qualification. The title of Research Fellow will be applied upon successful completion of the PhD. Prior to the qualification being awarded the title of Senior Research Assistant will be given).
  • Demonstrate excellent communication skills, both written and verbal, as evidenced by publications and presentations.
