Research detonation-engine inlets for attritable UAS swarms at the NRC, applying compressible-flow knowledge and experimental validation through full time physical presence. The appointment lasts two years.

This Postdoctoral Fellowship sits within the NRC Aerospace organizational unit. The project addresses propulsion systems substantially less expensive than conventional piston or gas-turbine engines. Your work will combine computational fluid dynamics and experiments to evaluate a novel inlet architecture for detonation engines.

Key Responsibilities:

Investigate inlet architectures for detonation engines

Apply computational fluid dynamics to propulsion research

Validate computational results experimentally





Support feasibility demonstration for proposed engine inlets

Work directly under an NRC researcher’s supervision

Requirements:

PhD in Mechanical or Aerospace Engineering

Recent PhD or expected completion within six months

Two of three listed technical experience areas

Resume, project statement, transcript, and publications list

Eligibility for required Reliability Status verification

Use propulsion, inlet, and compressible-flow expertise to investigate practical detonation-engine technology for future attritable UAS systems.
