Advance detonation-engine propulsion research as an NRC Postdoctoral Fellow using computational fluid dynamics and experimental validation full-time onsite. This two-year fellowship focuses on attritable UAS swarms.
The National Research Council of Canada seeks an early-career researcher for Aerospace. You will develop and evaluate a novel inlet architecture for detonation engines, combining computational fluid dynamics with experiments. The research targets low-cost, high-efficiency propulsion for attritable uncrewed aerial systems.
Key Responsibilities:
- Develop a novel detonation-engine inlet architecture
- Evaluate inlet feasibility through computational fluid dynamics
- Conduct experimental validation of research findings
- Work in a laboratory under NRC researcher supervision
Requirements:
- PhD in Mechanical or Aerospace Engineering
- PhD obtained within three years or completion within six months
- Experience in two specified technical criteria
- Submit resume, interest statement, transcript, and publications list
- Meet Reliability Status background verification requirements
Bring detonation, compressible-flow, and computational research experience to the NRC’s low-cost propulsion fellowship for attritable UAS.
