Research Fellow in Thermofluidics and Nanoengineered Surfaces at UCL University College London in United Kingdom

UCL Mechanical Engineering at University College London is advertising a Research Fellow in Thermofluidics focused on thermofluid sciences, nanoengineered surfaces, surface treatments, and related interfacial science. The role sits within the Department of Mechanical Engineering, Faculty of Engineering Sciences, and emphasizes sustainability-oriented research on nanoengineered surface treatments.

The project interests include phase change processes such as flow condensation, icing, and freezing droplet impact dynamics, together with high-speed or infrared optical diagnostics. Candidates with experience in micro/nanoengineered interfaces, wetting control, evaporation, and micro/nanoscale transport phenomena will be especially competitive. Exposure to scalable and sustainable materials processing approaches is also highlighted.

This is a postdoctoral/research fellow opening rather than a PhD or master's call. The post is based at UCL East. The announcement does not specify scholarship funding, stipend, or tuition support; it is presented as a staff research position.

Eligibility highlights: strong background in thermofluid sciences; experience with phase change and optical diagnostics; advantageous experience in micro/nanoengineered interfaces and sustainable materials processing.

Application window: closing date 17 June 2026. Interested applicants should use the UCL job details page and follow the recruitment/application instructions linked in the post.
