Job title: Undergraduate Student - Computational Fluid Dynamics & Machine Learning (R0)
Over the past two decades, Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) has become the cornerstone of engineering design and optimization in the aerospace industry, with application in external aerodynamics, gas turbine engines and supersonic combustion, among others. Its widespread industrial adoption has been supported by Reynolds-Averaged Navier-Stokes (RANS) coupled with turbulence models, which offer a practical balance between predictive accuracy and computational cost, and by their integration with optimization algorithms for automated design. However, advances in physics-informed neural networks (PINNs), machine learning (ML) methods and high-performance computing (HPC) offer opportunities to accelerate this process. Combining simulation data with governing equations can enable predictive surrogate models and support efficient optimization, with candidate designs verified through CFD.
This position offers the opportunity to contribute to cutting-edge developments at the intersection of aerospace engineering, computational physics, artificial intelligence, and high-performance computing, with direct relevance to future propulsion technologies.
The research team that the applicant will be involved is the Propulsion Technologies Group within the CASE Department at BSC. The team is a multidisciplinary group with researchers from all disciplines and with a strong background in Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD). The team is involved in many EU and industrial projects related to this topic, where the successful activities and the publications in highly ranked scientific journals give the proved expertise.
The vacancy will remain open until a suitable candidate has been hired. Applications will be regularly reviewed and potential candidates will be contacted.

The selection will be carried out through a competitive examination system ("Concurso-Oposición"). The recruitment process consists of two phases:
The recruitment panel will be composed of at least three people, ensuring at least 25% representation of women.
In accordance with OTM-R principles, a gender-balanced recruitment panel is formed for each vacancy at the beginning of the process. After reviewing the content of the applications, the panel will begin the interviews, with at least one technical and one administrative interview. At a minimum, a personality questionnaire as well as a technical exercise will be conducted during the process.
The panel will make a final decision, and all individuals who participated in the interview phase will receive feedback with details on the acceptance or rejection of their profile.
At BSC, we seek continuous improvement in our recruitment processes. For any suggestions or comments/complaints about our recruitment processes, please contact recruitment [at] bsc [dot] es.

The Barcelona Supercomputing Center (BSC) is a leading research center in high-performance computing (HPC) and artificial intelligence, located in Barcelona, Spain. It operates the MareNostrum supercomputer, one of the most powerful in Europe, and conducts research across earth sciences, life sciences, computer science, and computational social sciences. BSC is a key player in European HPC initiatives and collaborates with industry and academia worldwide.
BSC's Spain presence is centered in Barcelona, where it employs a diverse, international team of researchers and engineers. The center offers a dynamic, multidisciplinary environment with a strong focus on scientific excellence and innovation. For international professionals, BSC provides opportunities to work on cutting-edge projects in AI, climate modeling, and supercomputing, with English as a common working language and a supportive relocation environment.
The Barcelona Supercomputing Center - Centro Nacional de Supercomputación (BSC-CNS) is the leading supercomputing center in Spain. It houses MareNostrum, one of the most powerful supercomputers in Europe, was a founding and hosting member of the former European HPC infrastructure PRACE (Partnership for Advanced Computing in Europe), and is now hosting entity for EuroHPC JU, the Joint Undertaking that leads large-scale investments and HPC provision in Europe. The mission of BSC is to research, develop and manage information technologies in order to facilitate scientific progress. BSC combines HPC service provision and R&D into both computer and computational science (life, earth and engineering sciences) under one roof, and currently has over 1000 staff from 60 countries.
