Job Summary

The Department of Geology & Geophysics seeks a PhD level researcher to develop projects assessing fluid dynamics and 3D morphology of fossil shark skin samples. The position involves (i) microCT scanning, 3D morphometric measurements and model building of microfossils, (ii) developing and carrying out Particle Image Velocimetry (PIV) experiments to determine fluid flow regimes across the skin samples and 3D printed surfaces, and (iii) analysis of the findings of these experiments in the context of modern and fossil shark biology, and (iv) dissemination of these findings. The research position offers the scope to explore modern and fossil shark biology and bio-inspired design, and expert knowledge of fluid dynamics and functional morphology, especially working with software to analyze CT scans, is essential. The research associate will play a key role in the design and execution of the research and interpretation of the results and should be able to work independently with little supervision in this area.
