Open Positions: MSc, PhD, and Postdoctoral Researchers in Fluid Dynamics, 

Plus Undergraduate Research Opportunities – Innovation, Training, and Research Assistantships

We welcome candidates interested in one or more of the following topics:

* Turbulence simulation and high-performance computing

* Complex fluids and non-Newtonian flow dynamics

* Thermal convection and turbulent heat transport

* Turbulence control and multiple states in turbulent flows

* Geostrophic and rotating flows in geophysical and planetary systems

* Magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) and magnetoconvection 

 **Postdoctoral Researchers**

Postdoctoral fellows will lead independent research projects, develop advanced computational models, and contribute to high-impact publications. They are expected to actively collaborate, mentor junior researchers, and help shape the direction of the group.

**PhD Students**

PhD candidates will conduct original research leading to a doctoral degree. Projects will involve numerical simulations, theoretical modelling, and physics-based modelling approaches. Students will be closely supervised while encouraged to develop independent research ideas.

**Master’s Students**

Master’s students will engage in research projects aligned with the group’s themes, gaining experience in computational fluid dynamics, scientific programming, and data analysis. These projects may lead to PhD opportunities.

**About You**

We are looking for motivated candidates with a background in fluid mechanics, physics, applied mathematics, mechanical engineering, or related fields. 

**Postdoc applicants**: PhD in a relevant discipline with strong publication record

**PhD applicants**: Master’s degree (or near completion) with solid academic performance

**Master’s applicants**: Bachelor’s degree in a relevant field

For all positions, experience in one or more of the following is advantageous:

* Computational fluid dynamics and numerical methods

* Turbulence or geophysical fluid dynamics

* Scientific programming (Fortran, Python)

* High-performance computing

 **About the Group and Environment**

The Group offers a dynamic and collaborative research environment, with access to modern computational resources and active collaborations with leading research groups in Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, and the USA. Our mission is to advance the understanding of turbulent and complex fluid systems across scales, bridging fundamental physics and geophysical applications.
