Multiple M.Sc., Ph.D., and Postdoctoral Positions in Hydrogen Combustion Research

We are pleased to announce the opening of several M.Sc., Ph.D., and Postdoctoral positions as part of the 
multi-institutional project, “High Pressure Hydrogen Micromix Combustion for Gas Turbines”. This exciting 
initiative, funded by Siemens Energy Canada, CRIAQ, and NSERC, focuses on cutting-edge research in 
hydrogen combustion, both numerically and experimentally. Positions are available in the laboratories of 
Jeffrey Bergthorson (McGill University), Swetaprovo Chaudhuri (University of Toronto), Étienne Robert 
(Polytechnique Montréal), and Bruno Savard (Polytechnique Montréal).

The project aims to analyze and model flame stability and emissions generated by an innovative hydrogen 
injection system designed for gas turbines. The findings from this research will contribute significantly to the 
development of gas turbines powered entirely by hydrogen, with applications in the aerospace and energy 
sectors.

We are offering positions in the following areas:
- Chemical kinetics in laminar flames 
- Turbulent flame stability and NOx emissions 
- Experiments and laser diagnostics with turbulent flames  
- Direct numerical simulation of turbulent flames  
- Turbulence-chemistry interaction modelling for large-eddy simulation  

Candidates from underrepresented groups in engineering are strongly encouraged to apply.  

Application Requirements:
- Cover letter  
- CV/Resume  
- One example of a research, technical, or school project document authored by the applicant  
- Transcripts  
- Relevant English proficiency test scores (French OR English proficiency required at Polytechnique Montréal)

How to Apply:  
Please send your application to hydrogen.micromix@gmail.com. Competitive financial support will be 
provided based on standard salaries at the respective institutions and commensurate with the applicant's 
experience.

Join us in this groundbreaking effort to develop clean energy solutions through hydrogen combustion!
