Current Openings in CNR
Research Assistantship
Center for Natural Resources, NJIT
Start date: Fall 2024
Fully Funded Position
Skills
Hydraulics
Fluid Dynamics
Modelling
Experiments
The research entails performing numerical simulations using hydraulics and fluid dynamics software to address a spectrum of practical and fundamental research questions. Our research approach is a 70/30 ratio, with a significant focus on Computational Modeling, while the latter, the Experimental component, utilizes the latest cutting-edge techniques for detection and visualization.
Candidates with a Master's degree are preferred, and they should have good communication skills, a willing-to-learn attitude, and a solid knowledge of mathematics and hydraulics. The candidates should be able to meet the NJIT graduate school admission requirements

Env. Fluid Mechanics Postdoctoral Research
Center for Natural Resources, NJIT
Start date: Immediate Opening
Highly Competitive Salary
Skills
CFD simulations
Hydrodynamics
Turbulence
Biochem. of Oil
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 research position also requires conducting CFD simulations of multiphase flow, especially for engineering applications. The numerical results would need to be validated by comparison to experimental results using advanced parameter estimation techniques.
The qualified candidate would have a Ph.D. 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 the transport of chemicals in open water. They need to have a demonstrated ability to write articles for publication in top journals, possess excellent communication skills to mentor graduate students, and interact with scientists/engineers in other fields, especially those investigating the biochemistry of oil in water.
