Assistant Professor position (Tenure Track) in the Energy Technology Cluster

The Department of Mechanical Engineering of the TU/e seeks to hire an outstanding faculty member at the assistant professor level within the field of Experimental Thermo Fluids Engineering (Energy Technology Cluster).

The energy transition is one of the major societal challenges humanity faces today. To develop into a society where sustainable energy is ubiquitous, there is a need to optimize energy storage and conversion technologies. The thermo Fluids Engineering (TFE) cluster – which comprises the Energy Technology and Power & Flow sections – therefore conducts scientific research and education on heat & flow technologies for energy systems and high-tech applications. The Energy Technology section focuses on thermal energy flow and storage systems, fluid-solid interactions, and cooling and separation technology.

The Power & Flow section focuses on clean and efficient combustion and process technology, such as the conversion of future fuels (e.g., solar and metal fuels) and complex reacting multiphase flows. The research at TFE encompasses fundamental models based on first principles, experimental validation of these models using sophisticated measurement systems, application, and lab-scale demonstrations, and predictive computational tools for practical and industrial applications.
