About this position
Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (Guangzhou) is seeking two highly motivated PhD candidates to join its Guangzhou campus in China, starting in Spring or Fall 2027, or as soon as possible. The positions focus on computational and experimental fluid mechanics, wind energy, numerical simulation, and flow control.
Research directions include floating offshore wind turbine wakes, wake modeling, aerodynamics, and fluid-structure interactions under motion; high-altitude wind energy and airborne wind energy systems; urban wind environments, turbulence modeling, and wind-energy utilization in built environments; and machine-learning or other data-driven methods applied to wind energy and fluid dynamics.
Applicants should hold an MSc or equivalent in Mechanical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, Chemical Engineering, Energy Engineering, Applied Mathematics, or a related field, with strong fluid-mechanics knowledge. Experience with PIV, hot-wire measurements, wind or water tunnels, wave-basin testing, CFD software such as OpenFOAM or Fluent, or programming in MATLAB, Python, or C++ is sought. Excellent English communication skills are required.
The PhD scholarship provides a monthly stipend of 15,000 RMB. Students will have access to high-performance computing and advanced experimental platforms, along with international collaboration, visiting opportunities, and conference support.
To apply, email one PDF containing a CV, academic transcripts, and representative publications or projects, if available, to [email protected]. Use the subject line “CFD Online – PhD Application – [Your Name] – [Your University]”. Applications are reviewed immediately until the positions are filled. The listed closure date is 28 February 2027.
