About the NASA Postdoctoral Program
The NASA Postdoctoral Program (NPP) offers unique research opportunities to highly-talented scientists to engage in ongoing NASA research projects at a NASA Center, NASA Headquarters, or at a NASA-affiliated research institute. These one- to three-year fellowships are competitive and are designed to advance NASA’s missions in space science, Earth science, aeronautics, space operations, exploration systems, and astrobiology.
Description:
NASA’s goals are to investigate more efficient, cleaner, and quieter commercial aircraft propulsion concepts. These concepts need to be evaluating quicky and accurately. NASA requires a low-cost flexible test bed to conduct these evaluations and whishes to modify an existing ducted fan test bed to operate in an un-ducted version. (The Advanced Noise Control Fan, which is owned by NASA, and operated by the University of Notre Dame Turbomachinery Lab). Familiarity with and prediction tools for aerodynamic, aeromechanic, and aeroacoustics design considerations is required. This post-doc position will support the design and implementation of the conversion of the ANCF to un-ducted operation.
