POSITION: Doctoral Studentship - Computational and Analytical Modeling
in Atmospheric Science.

We are inviting applications for an NSF-funded Doctoral Studentship to
conduct research on  atmospheric turbulent multiphase flows using
analytical and computational modeling techniques.  This study focuses
on the marine atmospheric boundary layer of a hurricane laden with
polydisperse evaporating sea spray. In-depth understanding and
accurate modeling of the interaction between ocean spray and turbulent
airflow under high-wind conditions of a hurricane is essential
for improving forecast accuracy of the intensity of hurricanes and severe storms. 

The selected candidate will actively contribute to the development and
implementation of a mathematical and computational model for a marine
atmospheric boundary layer laden with evaporating polydisperse sea
spray.  The model will enable us to accurately describe the effect of
ocean spray on the air-sea exchange of momentum, heat, and moisture in
high-wind conditions of a tropical cyclone. This research project
combines the fields of applied mathematics, computational fluid
dynamics, and atmospheric science.


MINIMUM  QUALIFICATIONS:
1. B.S.  or M.S. degree either in Applied Mathematics, Atmospheric Sciences,
Physics, Engineering, or other relevant field.
2. Good English proficiency proven by TOEFL or analogous exam score.
3. GRE exam.

HIGHLY DESIRED QUALIFICATIONS:
1. Experience with numerical methods and programming skills in Matlab
and/or fortran90.
2. Experience with Mathematical Modeling.
3. Experience with Fluid Dynamics and/or Atmospheric Science.



APPOINTMENT DATE:  Fall 2025

If you are interested in this opportunity, you need to


I. formally apply to the Applied Science & Technology (AST)
Ph.D. program at
https://www.ncat.edu/admissions/graduate/admission-requirements.php
When prompted for a concentration, please specify Atmospheric,
Environmental & Energy Science.
Important: In your personal statement, clearly indicate that if admitted
to the program, you would like to work with me, Prof. Yevgenii Rastigejev.
Please review the instructions thoroughly, pay special attention to the requirements, particularly
for TOEFL and GRE scores, WES evaluation of foreign transcripts, and
recommendation letters.

II. send applications containing 
1. Cover letter. 
2. Up-to-date CV/resume with a list of references.
3. Transcripts. You may submit unofficial transcripts now, but
official transcripts will be required later in the application process.

Some  Key Points
1. Submission of Test Scores:
Applicants may upload unofficial English proficiency and GRE test scores
during the application process. However, if admitted, they must submit
official scores directly from the testing agency before registration.

2. Foreign Transcript Evaluation:
Applicants may submit an unofficial course-by-course credential evaluation
by SpanTran, WES, or ECE along with their foreign transcript(s) during the
application process. If foreign transcripts are not in English, they must be
accompanied by an English translation. If admitted, an official course-by-course
evaluation report by SpanTran, WES, or ECE is required, and the evaluating
agency must send it directly to the Graduate College.

3. To improve your chances of admission, submit your application
as soon as possible, even if you do not currently have all the
required documents. You will have the opportunity to upload
any missing documents later. It is strongly recommended submitting
your application by the Priority Admission Deadline, January 15, 2025.

4. Please refrain from submitting your application if you do not meet the minimum requirements.
