PhD student/associate/visiting scholar in CFD and ocean flow

About the Project

An opening is now available for a PhD student, or a research associate, or a visiting scholar position at the City College of New York (CCNY) of the City University of New York (CUNY). The research aims to simulate, via existing software and developing numerical models, coastal ocean flows and fluid-structure interaction. It is expected that the candidates are highly motivated and goal-oriented, and have:

1. MS degree in mechanical/civil/ocean engineering, or applied math, or other related disciplines
2. Solid knowledge in mathematics and physics

Experience in computer programming, flow modeling, and algorithm development is preferred. Background in both math and engineering is especially welcome. People currently in the U.S. and its territories may have priority.

CUNY is the US’s leading urban public university, serving 200,000 students at 25 colleges in New York City. CCNY, the university's flagship campus, is located in Manhattan and draws students from around the world, producing engineers, business executives, and scientists (including over 10 Nobel Prize winners and Fields medalists).
