The Mission Systems Division of the Virginia Tech National Security Institute invites applications for a postdoctoral associate position in Hypersonic Aerodynamics. The successful candidate will play a key role in developing and advancing new models and simulations for Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) hypersonic codes. Specific tasks include developing new turbulence and transition models for compressible hypersonic flows; implementing new models and numerical schemes into larger, existing hypersonic CFD codebases; performing verification & validation studies for the new models; generating CFD datasets using new models for specific applications. This position is based at Virginia Tech's main campus in Blacksburg, VA and offers opportunities for teaching and service-related activities, if desired, to successful candidates.
