[ES_JOBS_NET] Postdoc position in fog and cloud microphysics at the University of Notre Dame

[David Richter]

The Environmental Fluid Dynamics Group within the Civil and Environmental
Engineering and Earth Sciences Department (CEEES) at the University of
Notre Dame is seeking a PhD student or a postdoctoral researcher in the
area of computational atmospheric boundary layer turbulence and fog/cloud
dynamics. As part of a large, multidisciplinary effort, advanced numerical
techniques based on large eddy simulation (LES) and Lagrangian cloud
modeling will be joined with field observations of marine fog formation and
dissipation. The goal is to study basic transport, thermodynamic, and
microphysical mechanisms with aims of improving predictive capabilities at
NWP scales. Elements of model and algorithmic development, numerical
experimentation, fluid mechanics, atmospheric physics, and
verification/validation against observational data will each play a role.
The researcher will have opportunities to participate in field campaigns
measuring marine boundary layer turbulence and fog properties, in addition
to leading numerical efforts on turbulence/fog interaction.

Experience or interest in computational fluid dynamics, cloud microphysics,
turbulence, numerical modeling, large eddy simulation, and/or atmospheric
science is preferred. Candidates should preferably have degrees in
mechanical engineering, civil and environmental engineering, physics,
atmospheric science, meteorology, or related discipline.

The duration of the position is either (a) 2 year postdoctoral position or
(b) a fully funded PhD student position. Applications will be accepted
until the position is filled. The desired start date is as soon as
possible, and the position will remain open until filled. Interested
candidates should contact Prof. David Richter at  David.Richter.26 at nd.edu.
