Job Description

The Hy USE consortium is a public-private partnership comprising 8 universities, 5 universities of applied sciences, 3 research institutes, and 14 industrial partners. This collaboration ensures a balance between fundamental R&D activities and applied research, with a focus on relevant use cases.

Structure and Tasks

The consortium combines a strong mix of knowledge and expertise on technologies, modeling capabilities, tools, and experimental facilities. This enables research and development from component to system level, with a high-quality national ecosystem for testing and validation.

PhD Research Projects

We are offering two PhD positions at TU/e within the Hy USE project. The first project focuses on the application of H2 in Internal Combustion Engines, while the second project investigates the modeling of H2 combustion and NOx formation.

Project 1: H2 in Internal Combustion Engines

The PhD researcher will design and test a pre-chamber on our single-cylinder platforms, a fully metal and an optically accessible version. This will provide datasets for the validation of CFD models and enable the understanding of the technology in greater detail.

Project 2: Modeling H2 Combustion and NOx Formation

The PhD researcher will develop computational models for the numerical simulation of H2 combustion processes and the prediction of NOx emissions. This will involve investigating Lewis-number effects in H2-NG jets and developing reduced-order models for turbulent combustion.

Requirements and Benefits

We are looking for talented PhD candidates with an M.Sc. degree in Mechanical or Aerospace Engineering, Physics, or a related field. The candidate should have a background and/or interest in thermofluids engineering and combustion applications, and a good command of the English language.

The benefits of working at TU/e include full-time employment for four years, with an intermediate evaluation after nine months. The salary and benefits are in accordance with the Collective Labour Agreement for Dutch Universities, scale P. Additionally, we offer a year-end bonus of 8.3% and annual vacation pay of 8%.
