Research Associate (m/f/d) – Development of next generation steam turbines to meet current and future challenges
Furthermore, an increasing focus is put on new processes, that for example involve hydrogen or nuclear fusion as a source of energy.
A research associate position is currently to be filled at the Institute of Thermal Turbomachinery and Machinery Laboratory (ITSM) at the University of Stuttgart, with a focus on steam turbine technology. The ITSM has over several decades accrued legacy research knowledge in this field, in specific in the areas of aerodynamics, aeromechanics, condensation and coarse water droplet erosion of low-pressure steam turbines.We perform numerical and experimental research involving state-of-the-art facilities. The current positions will involve research activities on the numerical and on the experimental side.
As a research associate, you will have the possibility to pursue a PhD degree. Furthermore, you will be involved in the general teaching activities at the institute as a teaching assistant and in the supervision of students.
Employment according to TV-L E13 (100 %) upon fulfilment of the respective requirements.
The University of Stuttgart takes responsibility for women’s participation in developing new technology in our society. Applications from female researchers are therefore specifically welcome.
