Research Associate in Air Quality and Air Flow Modelling

Loughborough University seeks a researcher in indoor air quality and air flow modelling.

The successful candidate will combine computational fluid dynamics with experimental facilities to investigate ventilation performance impacts on human health. Research will focus on energy-efficient ventilation, fresh air distribution, and transmission of infectious diseases.

The post holder will have the freedom to define the direction of the research while delivering outputs including journal papers, conference presentations, and technical papers for industry. The researcher will also contribute to future funding proposals, including externally funded fellowships.

Some of the job duties are as follows,

• To develop understanding of the ventilation effectiveness, air quality and advanced modelling techniques
• To establish experimental methods for evaluating low energy ventilation techniques.
• Write up regular progress reports and present outcomes to all Investigators and
• Prepare presentations both internally and to external stakeholders.
• To support the project team by enhancing relationships with existing collaborators and by assisting the establishment of relationships with new collaborators.
• To write research papers suitable for publication in high quality academic journals, plus industry guidance documentation.
