The National Institute of Aerospace (NIA) has an opening for a Research Scientist to work in the area of computational modeling of laminar-turbulent transition in supersonic boundary layer flows. Successful candidate will work with an established team of computational and experimental researchers at NASA to help advance the state-of-the-art in transition prediction and control for high-speed boundary layers.
Required Skills:
- PhD degree or equivalent in Engineering or Applied Mathematics
- Minimum 3 years of graduate level (post-baccalaureate) research experience, working in
computational fluid dynamics and laminar-turbulent transition
- Experience in direct and/or large eddy simulation of unsteady flow phenomena, preferably involving supersonic flows
- Familiarity with state-of-the-art in laminar-turbulent transition research
- Experience in parallel computing and numerical flow visualization
- Proficient in development and/or application of CFD codes in FORTRAN (77/90/95)
Other Desired Skills:
- Familiarity with physical modeling of hydrodynamic instabilities, transition, and wave propagation phenomena
- Knowledge of high order algorithms and/or spectral methods
- Ability to program in C and C++
Interested candidates should send a letter of introduction, resume, salary requirements, and the names and contact information of three current references to:
