About this position

PhD opportunity in turbulent heat and momentum transport at Monash University (Melbourne, Australia). This project focuses on the theory of turbulent flows, with an emphasis on heat and momentum transport, exact coherent structures, asymptotic analysis, and dynamical systems theory. The work is hosted by the School of Mathematics at Monash University and supervised by Dr Kengo Deguchi.

Research themes: computation of exact coherent structures, development of relevant codes, interpretation of numerical results using asymptotic analysis, and literature review/publication preparation. The project considers canonical flow systems such as Rayleigh-Bénard, Couette, and Poiseuille flows with suitable modifications.

Funding: the successful candidate receives a full stipend and tuition scholarship. The package also includes single health cover for international students, a relocation allowance, and travel support for conferences, workshops, and collaborator visits.

Eligibility: applicants should hold a first-class (H1 or equivalent) bachelor’s or master’s degree in mathematics, physics, engineering, or a related discipline, and have a strong interest in theoretical and numerical fluid mechanics. English proficiency is required for candidates from non-English-speaking countries, according to Monash University rules.

How to apply: email Dr Kengo Deguchi with one combined PDF containing a cover letter, academic transcripts (with grading scale information), and a brief CV including referees. Shortlisted candidates will be interviewed via Zoom. Applications are accepted all year round, and the expected start window is between 1 February 2027 and 1 August 2027.
