Employment Opportunities

Current Openings (Spring-Fall 2005): Two positions are currently open at the "Research Scientist" level for qualified researchers in computational science and engineering directly relevant to simulation of advanced solid propellant rockets. Special skills required in this area generally include parallel programming experience, advanced engineering applications (computational fluid dynamics, computational structural mechanics, combustion and energetic materials), or recent research involvement in the US Department of Energy Defense Programs Laboratories.

Particular interests lie in: parallel mesh generation, smoothing and adaptation; implicit methods; and simulation of rocket performance.

One (or more) position(s) may open for "Postdoctoral Research Associates" to work with faculty mentors in research areas applicable to CSAR needs. You may apply to William Dick or to individual faculty listed in the Staff Directory.

Email enquiries welcome. Contact William Dick, wdick@uiuc.edu

CSAR Position Descriptions: The Center for Simulation of Advanced Rockets is located at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign and funded by the U.S. Department of Energy's Academic Strategic Alliances Program. The focus of the Center is on integrated computational simulation of complex systems that require an interdisciplinary approach, with specific emphasis on whole-system simulation of solid propellant rockets. Research and development activities at the Center involve a broad range of disciplines including combustion, fluid dynamics, solid mechanics, materials science, and all areas of computer science. The Center employs scientists, engineers, and programmers in the following personnel categories:
