Job Description
Overview
FM is a leading property insurer of the worlds largest businesses providing more than onethird of FORTUNE 1000size companies with engineeringbased risk management and property insurance solutions. FM helps clients maintain continuity in their business operations by drawing upon stateoftheart lossprevention engineering and research; risk management skills and support services; tailored risk transfer capabilities; and superior financial strength. To do so we rely on a dynamic culturally diverse group of employees working in more than 100 countries in a variety of challenging roles.
Responsibilities
The purpose of this position is to develop new scientific knowledge technologies and engineering solutions to problems in material flammability fire dynamics and Lithiumion battery safety research which can be used for the prevention or control of industrial property loss.
The principal responsibilities are to carry out research projects in the areas of flammability fire spread and heat transfer in fires from solid combustible as well as Lithiumion batteries. Key areas of research include understanding of fire behavior at the medium and large scales via benchscale experiments and theoretical models on material flammability and flame heat transfer. Projects can also involve advanced flame diagnostic of buoyant turbulent sooty flames and wall fires. The experimental and theoretical studies will be closely integrated with Computational Fluid Dynamic (CFD) model development and validation within the work group.
The position is responsible for all aspects of project management including project proposals and reporting.
Qualifications
The position requires a PhD in Mechanical Chemical Engineering Fire Protection Engineering or related fields with a strong fundamental background in combustion fluid mechanics heat transfer material science and applied mathematics. Extensive experience in experimental methods in thermal fluids material flammability heat transfer combustion/fire and an understanding of associated numerical methods are required. Research experience with advanced laser diagnostics in flame experimental measurement in turbulent flame heat transfer and failure analysis of battery is desirable. Also needed are excellent written and verbal communication skills as well as demonstrated expertise in developing solutions to challenging technical problems.
The final salary offer will vary based on geographic location individual education skills and experience. The position is eligible to participate in FMs comprehensive Total Rewards program that includes an incentive plan generous health and wellbeing programs a 401(k) and pension plan career development opportunities tuition reimbursement flexible work time off allowances and much more.
