Opportunities

Join the BioFSI Lab

We are looking for curious, motivated researchers to work on bio-inspired fluid mechanics, fluid–structure interaction and GPU-accelerated computational modelling at the University of Birmingham.

Our Research Culture

Our research culture rests on four core principles.

Innovation & Discovery

Pushing the frontiers of fluid–structure interaction, computational mechanics and bio-inspired engineering through rigorous, curiosity-driven inquiry.

Collaboration

Impactful science is collaborative. Ideas are exchanged openly across disciplines and career stages.

Mentorship & Growth

Structured support for the technical, intellectual and professional development of every member, from undergraduate researchers to postdoctoral scholars.

Integrity & Inclusion

A respectful, diverse and ethically grounded environment where excellence and equity advance together.

Postdoctoral Fellowships

Prospective postdoctoral scholars from around the world are warmly invited to get in touch to explore fellowship opportunities in the UK. I am happy to discuss potential projects, supervise competitive applications and advise on suitable schemes. If you are motivated to pursue high-impact research in bio-inspired fluid mechanics, fluid–structure interactions or GPU-accelerated computational modelling, please contact me to discuss possibilities and eligibility.

Schemes I can support

  • Royal Society Newton International Fellowship
  • MSCA Postdoctoral Fellowships
  • Royal Society University Research Fellowship
  • Royal Academy of Engineering Research Fellowships
  • University-specific schemes
Now inviting enquiries

Royal Society Newton International Fellowship 2027

Outstanding early-career researchers based outside the UK are invited to contact me about fellowship opportunities in computational fluid dynamics, fluid–structure interaction and multiphysics modelling at the University of Birmingham.

The Royal Society call is expected to close in March 2027 (exact dates to be confirmed). Please get in touch early so there is time to develop a strong application.

PhD Positions

Dr. Bose is looking to supervise PhD projects in the following areas:
