Env. Fluid Mechanics Postdoctoral Research Opportunities NJ/NY
The Center for Natural Resources (CNR) at the New Jersey Institute of Technology 
(NJIT) http://cnr.njit.edu has an immediate opening for multiple postdoc 
positions in the area of environmental fluid mechanics with application to oil 
spills and underwater gas and oil releases.  The position is offered on the Main 
Campus of NJIT in Newark, 20 minutes from downtown New York City. The salary is 
very competitive.

The research position requires conducting CFD simulations of multiphase flow and 
conducting experiments using state of the art visualization and microscopic 
techniques.  The numerical results would need to be validated by comparison to 
experimental results using advanced parameter estimation techniques. 

The qualified candidate would have a PhD in Environmental, Mechanical or Chemical 
Engineering or a related field and be able to conduct numerical simulations using 
existing programs or programs that they develop.  They must have a strong 
understanding of hydrodynamics and turbulence (including various turbulence 
closure models) and transport of chemicals in open water.  They need to have a 
demonstrated ability in writing articles for publication in top journals, to 
possess excellent communication skills to mentor graduate students, and to 
interact with scientists/engineers in other fields, especially those 
investigating the biochemistry of oil in water.  
Interested applicants are urged to submit their application in one pdf file that 
contains a cover letter, CV, and research statement to the Center Director, 
Distinguished Professor Michel Boufadel, boufadel@gmail.com.
