Environmental Hydraulics and Hydrology Postdoc Opportunities NJ/NY
The Center for Natural Resources (CNR) at the New Jersey Institute of Technology (NJIT) http://cnr.njit.edu has an immediate opening for multiple postdoc positions in the area of modeling water flow and solute transport in rivers as subject to coastal and inland flooding. The position is offered on the Main Campus of NJIT in Newark, 20 minutes from downtown New York City. The salary is very competitive.
The research position requires conducting simulations for water flow and solute transport in rivers under steady state and transient (flooding, drying) conditions. In many cases, the numerical results would need to be validated by comparison to experimental results using advanced parameter estimation techniques.
The qualified candidate would have a PhD in Environmental, Mechanical or Civil Engineering, and be able to conduct numerical simulations using existing programs and programs that they develop. They must have a strong understanding of hydrodynamics and turbulence and transport of chemicals in open water (i.e, the advection diffusion equation). They need to have a demonstrated ability in writing articles for publication in top journals, to possess excellent communication skills to mentor graduate students, and to interact with scientists/engineers in other fields, especially those investigating the biochemistry of oil in water.
Interested applicants are urged to submit their application in one pdf file that contains a cover letter, CV, and research statement to the Center Director, Distinguished Professor Michel Boufadel, bouf...@gmail.com.
