About this position
CNRS is advertising a researcher fixed-term contract at the Laboratoire des Ecoulements Géophysiques et Industriels (LEGI), UMR 5519, in Gières, Isère, France. The project is titled “Prediction of Bistable Flows and Extreme Events through High-Fidelity Simulations and Dynamic Mesh Adaptation” and is hosted by the MOST team (Modelling and Simulation of Turbulence).
The research focuses on fluid mechanics, computational fluid dynamics, DNS, LES, turbulent flows, bistable dynamics, regime transitions, rare/extreme events, and adaptive mesh refinement. The recruited researcher will analyse high-fidelity simulations to identify coherent structures, multiscale interactions, and precursors to bifurcations and extreme events, then develop dynamic mesh adaptation criteria based on instantaneous flow quantities.
This is a 18-month full-time research position with a gross monthly salary of 3041.58€ to 4216.70€ depending on experience. The offer mentions annual leave/RTT and transport support. The position is supervised by Guillaume Balarac (MOST team).
Eligibility highlights: applicants should hold a PhD in Fluid Mechanics, Physics, Applied Mathematics, or a related field, and have strong skills in CFD, DNS/LES, scientific programming, HPC, and turbulence analysis. Experience in numerical simulation and/or turbulence modelling is desired.
Application deadline: 2026-10-07 23:59. Applicants should submit a CV, publication list, reference contacts, and a short research statement through the CNRS employment portal.
