[ES_JOBS_NET] Ph.D. opportunities in atmospheric turbulence at U. of Notre Dame (USA)

[David Richter]

The Richter Research Group within the Civil and Environmental Engineering
and Earth Sciences (CEEES) Department at the University of Notre Dame, USA
is seeking a Ph.D. student in the area of computational atmospheric
boundary layer turbulence. Multiple projects are available, including
dust-related hazards in the atmospheric surface layer and
cloud-aerosol-turbulence interactions. Our research generally aims at using
high-resolution numerical techniques to cast light on complex processes in
the atmosphere (e.g., direct numerical simulation, large-eddy simulation),
and we work in close collaboration with experimental and observational
groups around the world. Elements of model and algorithmic development,
numerical experimentation, fluid mechanics, atmospheric physics, and
verification/validation against observational data will each play a role.

We are looking for motivated graduate students with a strong interest in
computational fluid dynamics, turbulence, numerical modeling, large eddy
simulation, and/or atmospheric science. Previous research experience is
beneficial but not required. This project will be a good fit for someone
who enjoys coding or numerical and mathematical modeling, and looks forward
to applying these skills to understanding complex geophysical flows.
Candidates could have interests or experience in mechanical engineering,
civil and environmental engineering, physics, and earth or atmospheric
science.

Information about the group members and their research can be found at
http://www.nd.edu/~drichte2. Funding is guaranteed for the duration of the
Ph.D. program, subject to performance. Applications for the Fall 2023
semester are due on February 1 at https://gradconnect.nd.edu/apply/.
Candidates who are interested or have questions about this position should
reach out to Prof. David Richter at David.Richter.26 at nd.edu to discuss
their research interests and find out more about the project.
