Post-Doctoral Position in Applied CFD for Wastewater Disinfection Process 
Analysis
We are pleased to announce a 12-month post-doctoral position for a highly 
qualified individual with expertise in applied Computational Fluid Dynamics 
(CFD), specifically using Ansys Fluent. This position is part of a WRF project 
entitled "Performic Acid Disinfection in Wastewater Effluent and CSOs in Context 
of Disinfection By-Products and Future Ambient Water Quality Criteria for 
Viruses" and involves conducting advanced modeling studies on pilot and full-
scale disinfection facilities. The research will integrate chemical 
decomposition/decay, microbial inactivation kinetics, and reactor hydraulics 
within both deterministic and stochastic frameworks.
Key Responsibilities:
•	Conducting CFD modeling studies using Ansys Fluent.
•	Integrating chemical decomposition/decay processes, microbial 
inactivation kinetics, and reactor hydraulics in models.
•	Developing and validating models for both pilot and full-scale 
disinfection facilities.
Qualifications:
•	Expertise in applied CFD, particularly with Ansys Fluent.
•	Experience with reactive fluids and open channel systems is preferred.
•	Eligibility to legally work in Canada.
•	Strong analytical and problem-solving skills.
•	Ability to work independently and within a research team.
Application Process:
If you are interested in this position or know someone with the relevant 
expertise and qualifications, please forward your resume to dsantor@uwo.ca. The 
position will remain open until filled, and only highly qualified candidates 
will be contacted for an interview. We look forward to receiving applications 
from motivated and skilled individuals ready to contribute to our innovative
