Closing date: 13 June 2023
Applications are invited for an exciting opportunity to join the School of Engineering and Materials Science at Queen Mary University of London for a fixed term appointment to work for 18 months as a KTP (Knowledge Transfer Partnership) Associate, in collaboration with Archipelago Technology Group.
About the Role
Archipelago Technology Group is a small, growing, Cambridge-based company, founded in 2012. They create technology for a range of sectors, including printing, coating, and high-value manufacturing. Archipelago's Powerdrop technology is transformational and it enables chemicals (e.g. adhesives, paints, coatings, inks and more) to be applied much more effectively. By doing so we can get the same results using half the chemicals used before. This helps to cut costs and slashes greenhouse emissions. The KTP Associate will be working right at the heart of the scientific development of Powerdrop. They will work at Archipelago in Cambridge and at QMUL in London.

You will have good mathematical data analysis, interpretation skills and concise report writing skills. You should have the ability to organise and prioritise own work
Benefits
We offer competitive salaries, access to a generous pension scheme, 30 days’ leave per annum (pro-rata for part-time/fixed term), a season ticket loan scheme and access to a comprehensive range of personal and professional development opportunities. In addition, we offer a range of work life balance and family friendly, inclusive employment policies, flexible working arrangements, and campus facilities including an on-site nursery at the Mile End campus.
The post is based at Archipelago, Cambridge and the Mile End Campus in London. It is full time (35 hours per week), fixed term appointment for 15 months AND additional 3 months pending UKRI approval, with an expected start date of no later than 1 August 2023.

Postdoctoral Research Associate in Aeroacoustics of Dynamic Stall
Salary: £45,931 - £47,155 per annum (pro-rata) (Grade 5)
Reference: QMUL32956
Location: Mile End
Date posted: 1 June 2023
Closing date: 1 July 2023
About the Role
The role is to develop and apply high-resolution computational methods on rotating meshes for Large Eddy Simulations for aerofoil flows accelerated on GPU cards. The work will include performing analyses of the LES results using modern data postprocessing tools and far-field noise calculations by coupling the LES solutions with linear acoustic prediction models.
About You
You will have a PhD degree (passed the PhD viva) in Aerospace/Mechanical Engineering, Mathematical/Computational Modelling, or similar areas. You will have experience of working with LES and computational aeroacoustic techniques, processing of large datasets, generation of unstructured LES grids, skills in C/C++/ Fortran programming, parallel and GPGPU computing. Experience with the high-resolution CABARET method is a big plus.
About the Project
Aerodynamic noise from transport vehicles and wind turbines is known to be one of the most intrusive types of noise pollution. Separation and stall can lead to a drastic reduction in aerodynamic performance and significantly increased aerodynamic noise. In applications involving rotating blades, the near-stall operation of blades, when subjected to highly dynamic inflows, gives rise to an even more complex phenomenon, known as dynamic stall. Wind turbine blades and rotors in edgewise transition are especially prone to dynamic stall noise. In this project, the Queen Mary team will perform high-resolution Large Eddy Simulations accelerated on GPU cards to investigate the mechanisms of dynamic stall noise, as well as the potential control techniques to mitigate it.
Benefits
We offer competitive salaries, access to a pension scheme, 30 days’ leave per annum (pro-rata for part-time/fixed term), a season ticket loan scheme and access to a comprehensive range of development opportunities. In addition, we offer a range of work life balance and family friendly, inclusive employment policies, flexible working arrangements.
