The Mechanical Engineering Department (MIE) at the University of Illinois-Chicago 
is seeking applications for highly motivated Postdoctoral fellows to conduct 
research in the area of complex fluid mechanics and fluid dynamics. 

Applicants are expected to have a strong background in fluid mechanics and fluid 
dynamics of particle-laden flows, suspensions, and polymers. Candidates with 
expertise in computational methods/CFD and/or hands-on experience in fluid 
mechanics and in technologies such as particle image velocimetry (PIV) and 
particle tracking velocimetry (PTV) measurements are preferred. MATLAB and Machine 
shop experience are a plus. Excellent communication and written skills are 
required along with demonstrated success in previous academic research. The 
postdoctoral fellow must have a PhD in an engineering discipline and good 
mechanical design skills. Additionally, the selected candidates will be expected 
to oversee graduate and master students, collaborate with the team members, write 
reports, and publish peer-reviewed journal articles. 

The appointment includes a stipend and benefits. Outstanding candidates are 
invited to submit a letter of application detailing their relevant background, 
providing the names and e-mail addresses of at least three references, a CV, and 
copies of relevant reprints and pre-prints. Send the application (as a single PDF 
file referring to this job post) to Dr. Parisa Mirbod (pmirbod@uic.edu). Send an 
email to Dr. Parisa Mirbod for more information about the research program.
