Chalmers University of Technology in Gothenburg, Sweden, is inviting applications for a two-year postdoctoral position in Hydrogen Mixing and Combustion. The project focuses on advancing fundamental knowledge of turbulent hydrogen-air mixing and reactivity through optical experiments and numerical modelling, with applications in sustainable transport systems and fire safety.

To be eligible, applicants must hold a PhD in Physics, Chemistry, Mechanical Engineering, Energy Sciences, or a related field, obtained within the last three years (with exceptions for parental, sick, or military leave). Candidates should have proven expertise in either numerical simulations of turbulent flows and chemical kinetics or in optical and laser-based diagnostic techniques for combustion, with a strong interest in combining modelling and experimental research.

Chalmers University of Technology is a leading institution for research and education in technology and natural sciences. Founded in 1829, the university is home to around 10,000 students and 3,100 employees, offering programs in engineering, science, shipping, and architecture.
