The University of Surrey is a global community of ideas and people, dedicated to life-changing education and research. We are ambitious and have a bold vision of what we want to achieve - shaping ourselves into one of the best universities in the world, which we are achieving through the talents and endeavour of every employee. Our culture empowers people to achieve this aim and to collectively, and individually, make a real difference.

The role We are looking to recruit two highly motivated post-doctoral research fellows to work in the Rolls-Royce ThermoFluid Systems University Technology Centre at the University of Surrey. The ThermoFluids Systems UTC at Surrey specialises in the design of secondary air systems for gas turbine engines and you will be working on the technology for the next generation of Rolls-Royce engines.

The project will involve both code development and simulation of engine systems. You will be working closely with engineers at Rolls-Royce and with academics, postdoctoral research fellows and PhD students at the other University project partners.

The contract will be for 3 years. The project would ideally suit candidates with an Engineering background with strong mathematical or programming skills or candidates with an applied Mathematics, Computer Science or AI background looking to move towards Engineering.

In addition to salary, we offer a generous annual leave entitlement of 25 days holiday plus seven university closure days and eight bank holidays, a generous pension, access to world-class leisure facilities on campus, a range of travel schemes, and supportive family friendly benefits including an excellent on-site nursery.
