The Faculty of Aerospace Engineering at the Delft University of Technology is inviting applications for the position of Assistant Professor Tenure Track in Sustainable Aircraft Propulsion.
Global warming is one of the biggest challenges we currently facing and aviation alone is responsible for around 4-5 % of the anthropogenic causes of global warming. Aviation can be made sustainable by investigating new ultra-efficient propulsion architectures and alternative energy carriers. The choice of the propulsion system and energy carrier is fundamental as it dictates many of the other parameters concerning aircraft configuration. Research and education in these areas are crucial to preparing our engineers for the future.
Therefore, the focus of the scientific research will be on novel propulsion architecture fundamentals and applications and requires a background in thermodynamics, combustion, heat transfer, turbomachinery, electrical systems, etc, and a multi-disciplinary approach to integrating these various components to reduce energy usage and emissions.
