Queen’s University: Recruiting graduate students in environmental fluid dynamics
I am currently recruiting graduate students interested in environmental mixing processes to join my research group at Queen’s University (Hydrotechnical Group, Department of Civil Engineering). I have two funded positions available for either a PhD or MSc.
This project will address the fundamental near-surface mixing processes in cold environments. We will be using both laboratory experiments and numerical models to study the hydrodynamics of mixing near freezing. Depending on funding and interest, this project may include travel to Churchill, MB for laboratory and fieldwork. Applications are currently being accepted and will remain open until filled with anticipated start dates in Fall 2022.
Role Details:
· Queen’s University, Kingston, ON, Canada
· Work in 2000 Coastal Engineering Laboratory
· Starting in Fall 2022
· Funded MSc or PhD positions
Research Interests:
· Heat, Salt, and Contaminant dispersion including microplastics
· Skin-to-bulk temperature parameterization
· Ice formation and brine rejection
· Buoyancy driven convection
· Data assimilation and verification
Requirements:
· Excited, curious and creative
· Willing to work in a collaborative team environment
· Proficient English communication skills
· Experience in data analysis
· Degree in Engineering, Mathematics, Physics, Oceanography, or a related field
Desirable Skills:
· Mathematical modeling
· Scientific programming (Python, etc.)
· Laboratory experiments
· Data visualization
I am strongly committed to creating an inclusive workplace and encourage applications from Black, racialized/visible minority, and Indigenous/Aboriginal people, women, persons with disabilities, and 2SLGBTQ+ persons.
If you are interested in applying or would like to know more, please email me at Jason.O...@queensu.ca with a CV, and a brief statement of interest. More information can be found at my website: https://civil.queensu.ca/Research/Hydrotechnical/JasonOlsthoorn
