Morgantown, WV
Apply by 9/1/19
Through the Oak Ridge Institute for Science and Education (ORISE), this posting seeks a graduate student or postdoctoral researcher to apply for an appointment to assist in the development and testing of a bench scale detonation-based combustion test facility and adjacent shock tube at the National Energy Technology Laboratory (NETL). The candidate will be expected to assist with design and installation of the experimental facility, conduct day-to-day testing, and perform detailed analysis of time dependent measurements (pressure, temperature, ion, thin-film heat flux) as well as digital image processing and advanced laser diagnostics (i.e. Tunable Diode Laser Absorption Spectroscopy). Relevant concepts include shock wave dynamics, high speed fluid dynamics, jet mixing, combustion, heat transfer, mechanical design, and data acquisition/instrument control.
The successful candidate will have a strong background in these elements (but not necessarily all):
· An expertise in experimental combustion and fluid mechanics, heat transfer, and thermodynamics, specifically with application to highly dynamic environments
· A working understanding of experimental data acquisitions using commercial software applications such as National Instruments LabView
· Experience with analysis and reduction of experimental data including image processing is desirable using Mathworks MATLAB or Python
· Demonstrated completion of coursework pursuant to a Master’s or PhD in science or engineering
