About this position

The University of Sydney is offering a postdoctoral research associate position in the School of Aerospace, Mechanical & Mechatronic Engineering, working with the ARC Training Centre for High-Speed Propulsion, Rocket and Launch Systems (HiPR-LS). The project sits at the intersection of supersonic combustion, compressible reacting flows, and advanced propulsion, with a strong emphasis on computational research.

The successful candidate will contribute to the development of new computational models and solvers for supersonic combustion and compressible mixing, using existing and newly developed codes together with high-performance computing resources. The role includes hands-on research with state-of-the-art simulation approaches such as direct numerical simulation, large eddy simulation, and probability density function methods.

Beyond core research, the appointment includes mentoring research students in HiPR-LS and helping develop technical material for the centre’s professional development program in rocket systems, including short courses, seminars, and example problems. The position is based within a large engineering school with broad activity across aerospace, combustion, fluid mechanics, materials, mechanical, mechatronic, and robotics engineering, offering a multidisciplinary environment for collaboration with academic researchers, students, and industry partners.

The role is a full-time fixed-term appointment with potential for extension and is intended to commence in January or February 2027.
