Description: |
The environmental fluid mechanics group at the University of Houston has an open
Post-doc position in computational fluid dynamics (CFD) to start in February 2021.
The post-doc will be responsible to conduct multiple state-of-the-art numerical
weather prediction and large eddy simulations of turbulent environmental flows
with urban and coastal applications. The post-doc is expected to perform
postprocessing of big environmental data to gain insights into different fluid
dynamics phenomena with a particular focus on extreme weather events (e.g.,
hurricanes).

- A Ph.D. degree in engineering, meteorology, physics, or other closely related
fields
- Strong hands-on experience with at least one programming language such as
Fortran, C/C++, Python, or MATLAB
- In-depth knowledge of fluid dynamics, turbulence, and boundary layers
- Publications in internationally recognized journals
- Strong motivation to perform cutting-edge research and to publish high-impact
papers
Preferred qualifications:
- Strong experience in developing numerical models and computational algorithms
- Strong experience with parallel computing (e.g., MPI)
- Proficiency in Linux computing environment
- Experience with WRF
Candidates with prior experience in working with Weather Research Forecasting
Model (WRF) code and high-performance computing are highly encouraged to apply.
The position is available for January/February 2021. Interested candidates should
send their up-to-date CV and a short cover letter (maximum 1-page) to Dr. Mostafa
Momen mmomen@uh.edu. Please note that the title of your email should start
