Postdoctoral Research Associate in Thermal Hydraulics [PhD; aptitude for application and/or dvlpmt of thermal design methods, comp fluid dynamics, transient analysis, comp techniques; C, C++; perform design and safety calculations, document work performed] / Nuclear Science and Technology Division at Oak Ridge National Laboratory; Oak Ridge, TN
Postdoctoral Research Associate in Thermal Hydraulics
Nuclear Science and Technology Division Oak Ridge National Laboratory Oak Ridge, Tennessee
ORNL10-65-NSTD
Project Description:
The Thermal-hydraulics and Irradiation Engineering (TH&IE) Group within the Nuclear Science and Technology Division (NSTD), Energy and Engineering Sciences Directorate, Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL), seeks applications for a postdoctoral position, with emphasis in the area of thermal/fluid analysis.
One of the major focus areas of the TH&IE Group is performing thermal/fluid analysis to support development of advanced heat transfer and fluid flow systems. Analysis includes development of nuclear reactor cooling systems, fusion energy reactor cooling systems, thermal/fluid experiment designs, etc. that support a variety of customers within the Department of Energy, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission, the Department of Defense and other government and private organizations. This group uses state of the art computational fluid dynamics and transient thermal/fluids analysis codes and methods to develop system designs and perform safety evaluations. The successful candidate will work with several experienced thermal hydraulic engineers to establish problem solution paths and interpret analysis results.
The engineer/scientist filling the position will be required to assess problems posed by customers, determine the appropriate solution path including selection of codes or solution methods to be used, set up the problem for analysis, and assess the analysis results. This position requires excellent analytical, computational, writing, and presentation skills to successfully complete assigned projects. He/she will work in a team environment, interacting with other ORNL staff, both within and outside the TH&IE group and will be expected to have the skills necessary to perform design and safety calculations; fully document the work performed, and effectively interface with project sponsors.
Qualifications:
Candidates must have a Ph.D. with a demonstrated aptitude for the application and/or development of thermal design methods, computational fluid dynamics, transient analysis, and computational techniques. Applicants must have demonstrated problem-solving skills and a willingness to apply those skills to a variety of problems. The candidate must have experience using finite element or finite difference (volume) methods and software for solving thermal and fluid problems and a background in C and C++ applied programming. Experience in the development and use of computational methods for large-scale, parallel thermal-hydraulics simulations, benchmarking and comparison of fluid solvers is also needed.
Excellent communication skills including verbal, presentation, and writing skills are required to enable effective interaction with technical peers, program managers, and sponsors. Additionally, this position requires that the candidate work with other members of the group to develop new programs, write proposals, and pursue new funding opportunities. Applicants cannot have received the most recent degree more than five years prior to the date of application and must complete all degree requirements before starting their appointment.
Technical Questions:
Questions regarding the position can be directed to Graydon Yoder, yodergljr@ornl.gov. Please include the requisition number and title when corresponding.

Doctoral - Public infrastructure projects: a qualitative management study of open innovation systems :
Beasiswa Scholarships : Public infrastucture project PhD scholarship
Queensland University of Technology (QUT) is a significant player in the Australian higher education sector, and its rapid growth in research performance has cemented its position as one of the nation’s top universities for quality and teaching in internationally significant, high-impact, leading edge research.
QUT is offering an Australian Research Council (ARC) Australian Postgraduate Award Industry (APAI) PhD scholarship, with a top-up from our Project Management Academy.
You will study within QUT’s School of Urban Development in the Faculty of Built Environment and Engineering alongside a dynamic, friendly and supportive team working on a landmark ARC research project.
The title of the project is “Maximising diffusion of innovative products on public infrastructure projects: a qualitative management study of open innovation systems”.
Study topic
The area of study is management in project-based industries, and you will choose a specific topic within this field. Possible study options include motivation of stakeholders, client leadership, innovation adoption, procurement systems, project management, relationship networks, knowledge management or related topics.
Term of study and remuneration
This is an opportunity for full-time study and the degree is to be completed within three years. The successful applicant will receive a scholarship worth $39,375 per year (tax exempt) which equates to a taxable income of around $56,000.
The scholarship will provide support for the three-year candidature of the successful applicant. In addition to the scholarship, QUT will provide up to $10,000 for research expenses over the course of your study (including international conference travel), with the possibility of undertaking part-time tutoring work.
Eligibility
To be eligible you will need an Honours 1 or 2A degree within the broad fields of business, civil engineering or urban development. Equivalency may be granted for a two-year masters degree by research or a two-year masters degree by coursework with a GPA of 5 on a 7 point scale (with at least 33% research component). In judging equivalence, QUT may also consider other studies, other research experience, research publications, referees’ reports and relevant work experience.
