ppbAdvance Urban Air Mobility through high-resolution CFD simulations, 3D urban modelling and real-world measurements. Join TU Delft to improve the safety and sustainability of future urban aviation! /b /p h3Job description /h3 pThe 3D Geoinformation research group at TU Delft is looking for a highly motivated Postdoctoral Researcher to join the European project IAM-CC. In this interdisciplinary project, you will investigate how detailed 3D urban models and computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations can improve the prediction of urban airflow and the effects of Urban Air Mobility (UAM) operations. /p pUrban environments present complex aerodynamic challenges. The growth of Urban Air Mobility creates new demands for understanding wind patterns, turbulence and UAM downwash in densely built areas. In this position, you will develop and apply methodologies that combine urban reconstruction, high‑resolution CFD simulations and field measurements to improve the accuracy and reliability of urban flow predictions. /p h3Your research will focus on: /h3 ul liReconstructing urban environments at different levels of detail for CFD applications. /li liPerforming CFD simulations of urban airflow including UAM downwash effects. /li liDeveloping and applying workflows for three major European cities: Milan, Coimbra and Madrid. /li liConducting and analysing on‑site wind field measurements during project living labs, including UAM flight demonstrations in Milan. /li liValidating numerical predictions using real‑world measurement data. /li liCollaborating with researchers and industry partners within the IAM‑CC consortium. /li liPublishing research findings in leading scientific journals and conferences. /li /ul pYou will become part of the internationally recognised 3D Geoinformation group within the Urban Data Science section. Our multidisciplinary team combines expertise in geoinformation science, computer science, geomatics, urban modelling and data‑driven city analysis. We develop innovative technologies for modelling and managing 3D cities, buildings and landscapes, and maintain strong collaborations with industry and government partners. /p pThis position offers a unique opportunity to work at the intersection of urban modelling, computational fluid dynamics, geoinformation science and Urban Air Mobility while contributing to research with direct societal impact. /p h3Job requirements /h3 ul liYou hold a PhD degree, or are close to completion, in Aerospace Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Geoinformatics, Geomatics, Computer Science, Applied Mathematics or a related discipline. /li liYou have demonstrated experience with computational fluid dynamics and numerical simulations and/or experiments in fluid dynamics. /li liYou have experience with programming and scientific software development; experience with C++ is an advantage. /li liExperience with machine learning, 3D city modelling or urban reconstruction techniques is beneficial. /li liYou are interested in combining simulation‑based research with experimental field measurements. /li liYou enjoy working in multidisciplinary and international research teams. /li liYou have excellent English communication skills, both written and spoken. /li liYou are motivated to contribute to high‑impact research on sustainable urban mobility and future aviation systems. /li /ul h3Conditions of employment /h3 ul liDuration of contract is temporary for 2 years. /li liSalary and benefits are in accordance with the Collective Labour Agreement for Dutch Universities. /li liAn excellent pension scheme via the ABP. /li liThe possibility to compile an individual employment package every year. /li liDiscount with health insurers on supplemental packages. /li liFlexible working week. /li liEvery year, 232 leave hours (at 38 hours). You can also sell or buy additional leave hours via the individual choice budget. /li liPlenty of opportunities for education, training and courses. /li liPartially paid parental leave. /li liAttention for working healthy and energetically with the vitality program. /li liIf you need to relocate to the Netherlands for this job, TU Delft offers support to help make your move as smooth as possible, including events to help you settle in the Netherlands and expand your social network in Delft. A Dual Career Programme is available to support your accompanying partner with their job search in the Netherlands. /li /ul /p #J-18808-Ljbffr
