Stuttgart, Baden-Württemberg, Deutschland Universität Stuttgart Vollzeit
Researcher in Aerodynamics and Gas Dynamics

The Collaborative Research Centre (CRC) ATLAS at the University of Stuttgart addresses the fundamental scientific and engineering challenges of rendering Very Low Earth Orbit (VLEO) accessible. The research programme encompasses 17 distinct scientific subprojects that are organised into three project areas, focusing on exploring the Gas-Surface Interactions, Enabling Subsystems, and Mission-related Challenges.

As a researcher in aerodynamics and gas dynamics, you will be working on developing a detailed gas-surface interaction model with surface chemical reactions. This will enable more accurate predictions of drag and lift coefficients, bridging the gap between microscopic approaches and the required macroscopic values for entire satellites.

Key responsibilities include:

  • Developing a multi-fidelity simulation framework to analyse the effects of on-orbit and model uncertainties on atmospheric drag at a mesoscopic level.
  • Quantifying the primary drivers of uncertainty and their impact on satellite design for reference geometry.
  • Conducting single-criterion geometry optimization for VLEO in-orbit conditions.
  • Focusing on the development of the required Uncertainty Quantification (UQ) environment utilizing various detailed flow models such as DSMC or panel methods.

Suitable candidates possess a M.Sc. in engineering, physics, mathematics or an equivalent field of science relevant to the research program of the CRC ATLAS. Previous experience in the field of experimental and/or computational (rarefied) fluid dynamics is advantageous. Additionally, candidates should have excellent writing skills. Fluency in English is required; command of German is appreciated.

The CRC ATLAS offers an ambitious structured interdisciplinary training programme with joint supervision by experienced researchers from different disciplines. The program includes opportunities for research stays abroad to foster international cooperation and for participation in international conferences for the dissemination of the respective findings.

A complete application includes a letter of application, a detailed CV, and a list of publications (if applicable). Applications are accepted until the respective position is filled.
