Postdoctoral Researcher- Mechanical Engineering

Wayne State University is searching for an experienced Postdoctoral Researcher- Mechanical Engineering at its Detroit campus location.

Wayne State is a premier public urban research university located in the heart of Detroit Michigan where students from all backgrounds are offered a rich high-quality education. Our deep-rooted commitment to excellence collaboration integrity diversity and inclusion creates exceptional educational opportunities which prepare students for success in a global society.

We invite applications for a postdoctoral researcher position focused on laboratory investigations of air-blast atomization in liquid films. We are seeking a highly motivated independent and creative researcher with a strong background in atomization and experimental fluid mechanics particularly in optical flow-visualization techniques.

The successful candidate will conduct advanced laboratory experiments to study the dynamics of gas coherent structures and the formation of transverse liquid waves. This work will involve a combination of novel experimental approaches including PIV LIF high-speed imaging and shadowgraphy. The postdoctoral fellow will be responsible for collecting and analyzing data and for producing project reports and peer-reviewed journal publications.

This position requires a PhD qualification in Mechanical Engineering Physics or related field.

The successful candidate should demonstrate a strong background in liquid atomization and experimental fluid mechanics.

Strong ability to analyze analytical data sets. Experience with PIV LIF high-speed imaging and shadowgraphy is highly desirable.

Effective oral and written communication skills are required.

The candidate is expected to be self-motivated able to work collaboratively with team members and external collaborators.
