I am recruiting two postdoctoral scholars to join my research group in the Civil and Environmental Engineering (CEE) Department and the Resilient Infrastructure and Disaster Response (RIDER) Center at Florida State University (FSU) beginning as early as Dec 2022 and as late as Feb 2023. The postdocs will be supported for 18 months, with the possibility of extension depending on funding availability. The selected candidates will present their research findings in peer-reviewed articles and conferences. It is also expected that the postdocs contribute to student mentoring and assist in writing research grants.
Position 1: Predicting coastal and inland floods under sea level rise
This position can be started in Feb 2023.
REQUIRED/DESIRED QUALIFICATIONS AND SKILLS
- Holding a doctoral degree in engineering (civil, agricultural, water resources or environmental), sciences (environmental, geographical or earth) or any closely related field
- Understanding of physical processes related to inland and coastal floods in coupled inland-coastal systems under climate change and sea level rise as well as knowledge of hydrologic and hydrodynamic modeling of floods via physically-based models (HEC-RAS, ICPR, ADCIRC and SLOSH)
- Computer programming (R, MATLAB or Python) and stochastic, statistical, time series and geospatial analyses (e.g., GIS)
- Strong analytical and quantitative skills
- Independency, communication, presentation (oral and written), fast learning and the ability to work in an interdisciplinary team.
Position 2: Predicting harmful algae blooms in estuaries
This position can be started immediately.
REQUIRED/DESIRED QUALIFICATIONS AND SKILLS
- Holding a doctoral degree in engineering (civil, agricultural, water resources or environmental), sciences (environmental, geographical or earth) or any closely related field
- Understanding of physical and biogeochemical processes related to HABs in coupled inland-coastal systems as well as knowledge of machine learning algorithms
- Computer programming (R, MATLAB or Python) and stochastic, statistical, time series and geospatial analyses (e.g., GIS)
- Strong analytical and quantitative skills
- Independency, communication, presentation (oral and written), fast learning and the ability to work in an interdisciplinary team.
Located in the capital of Florida, Tallahassee, FSU is classified by Carnegie as an R1 rank (Doctoral Universities — Highest Research Activity). The CEE Department is home to the RIDER Center, an interdisciplinary research center with several labs and facilities related to water resources, environment, construction and transportation. Tallahassee is also located within a short drive to multiple national parks and beaches, providing several opportunities for outdoor activities.
