About The Position

Combustion technologies are expected to dominate aircraft (and terrestrial)propulsive systems well into the coming decades, even with significant advancesin alternative and hybrid approaches, such as vehicle electrification. Transport accounts for one-fifth of global energy consumption. Aviation, which isconsidered the hardest to migrate to non-combustion technologies, accounts forabout 15% of this. To mitigate energy, environment and security impacts new,synthetic aviation turbine fuels, and new combustor / engine designs are activelybeing pursued. This internship will involve a range of experimental and data reduction activitiesto support fundamental investigations of the combustion behavior (in particular,autoignition chemistry) of modern and future aviation fuels (e.g., bio-derivedfuels), at thermodynamic and fueling conditions representative of advancedaeropropulsion engines. Experimental data is utilized to develop and validate computational models for such fuels, and to derive metrics to qualify, rank anddesign new fuels. Fuel models are necessary to assist in the design of next-generation engines. Responsibilities for this internship may include: diagnosing / modifying LabVIEW-based control systems and algorithms for experimental equipment, design ofexperimental parts and configurations, assisting with autoignition experimentsusing laboratory equipment, post-processing experimental data (with somesoftware development in Python) and helping to analyze it, and generallaboratory activities such as assembling, setting up and taking down equipment. Collaborations may engage researchers from other groups at Argonne, as well asat national and international institutions and industrial organizations. Minimumeducation / experience requirements include: good knowledge of generallaboratory protocol, good knowledge of thermal/fluid sciences, knowledge ofbasic chemistry, knowledge of programming (e.g., Python, C++, LabView) andCAD, and interest in advanced technologies for improved fuel economy andemissions mitigation of future vehicles. Education and Experience Requirements The entirety of the appointment must be conducted within the United States. Applicants must be: ‒ Currently enrolled in undergraduate or graduate studies at an accredited institution. ‒ Graduated from an accredited institution within the past 3 months; or ‒ Actively enrolled in a graduate program at an accredited institution. Must be 18 years or older at the time the appointment begins. Must possess a cumulative GPA of 3.0 on a 4.0 scale. Must be a U.S. citizen or Legal Permanent Resident at the time of application. If accepting an offer, must pass a screening drug test
