We are currently looking for new highly qualified Ph.D. students to lead 
computational efforts in ongoing research in vortex-dominated and turbulent 
flows to start in the Fall 2024 or Spring 2025 semesters.  A successful 
candidate will be part of an inter-disciplinary group and will have the 
opportunity to collaborate with other faculty and students at the University of 
Memphis.   The focus of the research is on using and developing computational 
fluid dynamics and machine learning methods to understand turbulence in vortex-
dominated flows such as those produced by rotorcraft, fans, wind turbines, and 
unmanned vehicles.   The positions are computational and the candidate is 
expected to have significant computational and programming experience, ideally 
in C and Python languages, and ability to work on large research codes.  
Experience with MPI is desirable.

The positions are fully funded with stipend, tuition, and benefits.  The student 
will work at the forefront of the cutting-edge turbulence and CFD research.  
There will be opportunity to collaborate with researchers at national 
laboratories, publish in top-tier journal papers, and attend international 
professional conferences hosted by the American Physical Society, America 
Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics, among others.
