Postdoctoral Research Associate in Multiphase Fluid Dynamics

We are seeking a full-time Postdoctoral Research Associate (PDRA) to join the Multiphase Fluid Mechanics Group as part of the Contaminated Ocean Spume project, funded by the Natural Environment Research Council (NERC), at the Department of Engineering Science (central Oxford). The post is fixed-term for three years. The NERC-funded project will quantify the role of surfactants in the production of spray droplets by the action of wind over ocean waves (i.e. spume). In this role, you will develop numerical, experimental, and (ideally) theoretical models within the topic of surfactant-laden droplet production via the interaction of wind with ocean waves, and of the breakup of such droplets. You will also interact and help with other research lines currently under development in the group, including droplet impact, wave breaking, and bubble & droplet statistics. This is an ideal opportunity for a researcher looking for challenging, exciting, and highly competitive research topics in this area.
