Apply Now Job Description: Established nearly two centuries ago, FM is a leading mutual insurance company whose capital, scientific research capability and engineering expertise are solely dediced to property risk management and the resilience of its policyholder-owners. These owners, who the belief th the majority of property loss is preventable, represent many of the world's largest organizions, including one of every four Fortune 500 companies. They work with FM to better understand the hazards th can impact their business continuity to make cost-effective risk management decisions, combining property loss prevention with insurance protection. The purpose of this position is to develop new scientific knowledge, technologies and engineering solutions to problems in merial flammability, fire dynamics and Lithium-ion btery safety research, which can be used for the prevention or control of industrial property loss. The principal responsibilities are to carry out research projects in the areas of flammability, fire spread, and he transfer in fires from solid combustible as well as Lithium-ion bteries. Key areas of research include understanding of fire behavior the medium and large scales via bench-scale experiments and theoretical models on merial flammability and flame he transfer. Projects can also involve advanced flame diagnostic of buoyant turbulent sooty flames and wall fires. The experimental and theoretical studies will be closely integred with Computional Fluid Dynamic (CFD) model development and validion within the work group. The position is responsible for all aspects of project management including project proposals, execution, and reporting. Qualificions: The position requires a PhD in Mechanical, Chemical Engineering, Fire Protection Engineering, or reled fields with a strong fundamental background in combustion, fluid mechanics, he transfer, merial science and applied mhemics. Extensive experience in experimental methods in thermal fluids, merial flammability, he transfer, combustion/fire, and an understanding of associed numerical methods are required. Research experience with advanced laser diagnostics in flame, experimental measurement in turbulent flame, he transfer and failure analysis of btery is desirable. Also needed are excellent written and verbal communicion skills, as well as demonstred expertise in developing solutions to challenging technical problems. Candides may be considered for a Sr. Research or Principal Research Scientist level role. The final salary offer will vary based on geographic locion, individual educion, skills, and experience. The position is eligible to participe in FM's comprehensive Total Rewards program th includes an incentive plan, generous health and well-being programs, a 401(k) and pension plan, career development opportunities, tuition reimbursement, flexible work, time off allowances and much more.
