About this position

A PhD position is available in Professor Rajat Mittal's group at Johns Hopkins University, United States, starting Fall 2026. The research focuses on high-performance computing in fluid dynamics, computational aeroacoustics, aerodynamics of fixed and rotating wings, and fluid–structure interaction. The successful candidate will engage in large-scale numerical simulations and analysis of unsteady vortex-dominated flow phenomena using advanced computational methods. The lab is part of the Mechanical Engineering department and is known for its cutting-edge work in computational and data-driven modeling for a broad range of applications, including cardiovascular flows and aerodynamics.

Applicants should have a strong background in mechanical engineering, physics, or related fields, with experience in high-performance computing, numerical simulations, and computational methods. Skills in programming languages such as Python and C++, GPU kernels, CFD, and multithreading are highly desirable. International candidates are welcome to apply. The position is likely fully funded, as suggested by references to fully funded PhD positions in related comments and the standard practice at Johns Hopkins University, though specific stipend and tuition details are not provided.

To apply, candidates should email a detailed curriculum vitae to [email protected] with the subject line 'Fall 2026 PhD Studentship'. The application window is open until December 28, 2025, for a Fall 2026 start. This opportunity is ideal for students interested in advanced computational research in fluid dynamics, aeroacoustics, and related areas, and who wish to join a leading research group at a top US institution.

Relevant academic keywords include fluid dynamics, high-performance computing, computational aeroacoustics, aerodynamics, fluid–structure interaction, numerical simulations, vortex-dominated flows, and mechanical engineering.
