Updated July 31, 2024:

Outstanding candidates are sought for multiple postdoctoral research positions to simulate and model:

The unsteady, non-equilibrium flows associated with hypersonics and very hightemperature flows within inductively coupled plasma (ICP) facilities.
The complex multi-physics coupling between the high-temperature flow and the deformations and damage taking place within ablative thermal protection systems.

Each successful candidate will use and develop state-of-the-art simulation, modeling, and data reduction tools to predict and study high-temperature flows, including but not limited to, thermal and chemical non-equilibrium, radiation, interaction with thermal protection systems, and ICP torch dynamics. The positions are open immediately and have a nominal duration of two years. The successful candidates will become part of the Center for Hypersonics and Entry System Studies and join the highly active hypersonics community at the University of Illinois at UrbanaChampaign.
