Research Associate in High-Order Mesh Generation - Strand, London, WC2R 2LS

About us

Recently re-founded, the Department of Engineering is rapidly expanding into a world-class research and teaching department.

Research currently focuses on computational engineering, information processing systems, robotics, telecommunications, and biomedical engineering, but we are looking to establish new research themes. 

This post will be affiliated with the computational engineering research group within the department.

We offer both undergraduate and postgraduate teaching, with a distinctive approach, combining both traditional teaching methods with modern, project-based learning, catering for the needs of our students and the industries in which they will work.

As a new department we have invested in new laboratories and maker space at the centre of the Strand campus in the heart of central London.

About the role

This role will support the delivery of a mesh generation project, funded under a recent major £7m EPSRC Programme Grant REMODEL: Advancing Parallel Mesh Generation and Geometry Representation to Enable Industrially Relevant, High-Fidelity Simulations . The goal of REMODEL is to make major advances in mesh generation and CAD geometry to enable large-scale exascale-capable simulations for the new UK national supercomputer.

The successful candidate will work within Prof. David Moxey’s group at King’s, together with the wider REMODEL project team (Swansea University, Imperial College London, EPCC and Queen’s University Belfast), to advance adaptive mesh refinement: the ability to dynamically change resolution as large-scale simulations progress, whilst preserving the geometric representation of the project.

You will work within a leading group in high-order methods: a class of finite element methods that is now leading the way for future computational fluid dynamics simulations. Specifically, our group develops the Nektar++ spectral/hp element framework ( ), and its mesh generation tool NekMesh . The successful candidate will be expected to lead developments of both tools, working towards integrated mesh-solver cycles and enable large-scale parallel simulations that adapt the mesh to fit the underlying geometry. They will also provide NekMesh with the user-focused development required to get this presently-specialist tool into the hands of general practitioners.

The successful candidate will also help to represent the developments at King’s and work closely with the REMODEL partners in academia, as well as industrial partners.

This is a full time contract (35 Hours per week), offered on a fixed term contract for two years.

Research staff at King’s are entitled to at least 10 days per year (pro-rata) for professional development. This entitlement, from the Concordat to Support the Career Development of Researchers , applies to Postdocs, Research Assistants, Research and Teaching Technicians, Teaching Fellows and AEP equivalent up to and including grade 7. Visit the Centre for Research Staff Development for more information.
