This new position within the FPP section focuses on supporting
current staff with their educational tasks: lecturing in the BSc and
MSc programmes, preparation and delivery of computer labs and in-class
tutorials, assessments of exams and assignments, and coaching of teams
of BSc students in their final Bachelor project. The candidate is not
expected to develop new courses, although she/he can contribute to the
extension and updating of existing course material.
A major task for the candidate is the daily supervision of Master students in their final thesis project. This includes the definition of the research topics, which must be aligned with the section’s portfolio and defined in agreement with the section head and/or existing scientific staff. The candidate is expected to exploit the large number of high quality MSc students to initiate and manage a broad research programme in line with her/his professional interests and coherent with the FPP research agenda.
Publication of the results generated within the thesis projects will be encouraged and supported but it is not considered a main task for this position.
Acquisition of external funds for research is outside the scope of this position, although the candidate is expected to strengthen the existing collaboration with industrial partners through cooperative research with MSc students.

Werkgever
Delft University of Technology
Delft University of Technology (the TU Delft) is a
multifaceted institution offering education and carrying out research in
the technical sciences at an internationally recognised level.
Education, research and design are strongly oriented towards
applicability. The TU Delft develops technologies for future
generations, focusing on sustainability, safety and economic vitality.
At the TU Delft you will work in an environment where technical sciences
and society converge. The TU Delft comprises eight faculties, unique
laboratories, research institutes and schools.
Afdeling
Aerospace Engineering
The Department of Aerodynamics, Wind Energy, Flight
Performance and Propulsion (AWEP) is one of four departments composing
the Faculty of Aerospace Engineering. Fundamental research is performed
in the Aerodynamics section. Aircraft design, propulsion systems and
their integration are the main topics in the FPP section. Wind energy
systems, from small wind turbines to large, offshore installations, are
the research objective in the Wind Energy section. The department
operates comprehensive laboratories, equipped with modern wind tunnels
and state-of-the-art measurement systems.
The Flight Performance and Propulsion (FPP) section focuses on fundamental and applied research in the field of aircraft design, propulsion systems and their integration. Tools and methodology development for aircraft design is combined with system analysis and design in the area of high lift systems, open rotor propulsion, propulsion system analysis and design, and flight mechanics of unconventional aircraft. The approach is to work on system (complete aircraft) and subsystem design and analysis, in which use is made of state-of-the art, multidisciplinary design and optimisation software. Experimental research is performed in the Faculty wind tunnels on special topics like propulsion integration. Recently, work has been initiated in the field of scaled flight testing.
