Role Description

We welcome applications from talented researchers to join our Gas Turbine Engineering group who want to make a significant impact on the shape and future direction of our Centre’s portfolio of activities in the area of thermo-fluid simulations for use in propulsion system architectures utilising advanced multi-phase flow methods.

About the Role

This is an exciting opportunity for you to contribute to research on a project supporting the move of aviation towards zero emissions, as part of a team within the Centre for Aeronautics, Propulsion and Power and specifically the Rolls-Royce UTC in Aero Systems Design, Integration and Performance. This role will contribute to the development of various systems used in propulsion architectures. You will be working in advanced computational fluid dynamic modelling and assessment of thermo-fluids systems for aviation, focusing on icing in aircraft fuel systems.

About You

You will be educated to post-doctoral level in a relevant subject with the necessary technical knowledge and experience such as multi-phase flow, flow modelling at different levels of fidelity, Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD), aero-thermodynamics of power and propulsion systems, heat and mass transfer, thermo-fluid systems simulation and programming, as well as exposure to software platforms and algorithms for advanced numerical simulations. You will have experience in composing project deliverables, delivering effective presentations, and be able to assist in project integration workshops and other meetings. With good communication skills, you will also be a good team player. Project planning is also an important skill for this post along with the ability to demonstrate self-motivation, perseverance, and initiative.

As a specialist postgraduate university, Cranfield’s world-class expertise, large-scale facilities and unrivalled industry partnerships are creating leaders in technology and management globally. Learn more about Cranfield and our unique impact here.

Aerospace and Aviation is at the heart of Cranfield’s global research airport and is renowned throughout the world for its teaching and research. Cranfield Aerospace centres are the powerhouses of our world class research, driving technological and conceptual advances in aeronautics, propulsion & power, cyber-physical systems and intelligent automation. Through the strong links with industry built over the past 75 years, we focus on defining and delivering the aircraft, airport and airspace management of the future and are the only university in Europe with our own airport and air traffic control capability. Find out more about our work here About Aerospace.

The Centre for Aeronautics, Propulsion and Power at Cranfield University brings together world-leading expertise in aircraft design, aerodynamics, flight dynamics, propulsion, and thermal power systems within a single, integrated structure. Formed through the merger of the former Centres for Aeronautics and Propulsion and Thermal Power Engineering, it creates a unique whole-system capability spanning airframe and propulsion disciplines

The Centre addresses the full lifecycle of aerospace and energy systems—from conceptual design and advanced simulation to experimental validation and operational performance. With a strong industry-embedded approach, extensive research activity, and a vibrant postgraduate community, it is positioned as one of Europe’s leading academic hubs in sustainable aviation and advanced propulsion. Its mission is to develop next-generation low-emission, high-efficiency air systems and to educate the engineers who will deliver net-zero aviation and sustainable energy solutions worldwide.
