Modeling Hydraulics and Hydrology and Machine Learning in 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 modeling water flow and solute transport in rivers as 
subject to coastal and inland flooding.  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 simulations for water flow and solute 
transport in rivers under steady state and transient (flooding, drying) 
conditions.  In many cases, the numerical results would need to be validated by 
comparison to experimental results using advanced parameter estimation 
techniques.  The work might require the use of Machine Learning and Artificial 
Intelligence to predict flooding and solute contamination.

The qualified candidate would have a PhD in Environmental, Mechanical or Civil 
Engineering, and be able to conduct numerical simulations using existing programs 
and  programs that they develop. They must have a strong understanding of 
hydrodynamics and turbulence and transport of chemicals in open water (i.e, the 
advection diffusion equation).  The applicant needs 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.  
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.
