Queen’s University: Recruiting graduate students in environmental fluid dynamics

I am currently recruiting graduate students interested in environmental mixing processes join my research group at Queen’s University (Hydrotechnical Group<https://civil.queensu.ca/Research/Hydrotechnical/index.html>, Department of Civil Engineering). I have two funded positions available for either a PhD or MSc.

This project will address the fundamental near-surface mixing processes in cold environments. We will be using both laboratory experiments and numerical models to study the hydrodynamics of mixing near freezing. Depending on funding and interest, this project may include travel to Churchill, MB for laboratory and field work. Applications are currently being accepted and will remain open until filled with anticipated start dates in Fall 2022.

Role Details:

  *   Queen’s University, Kingston, ON, Canada
  *   Work in 2000 [cid:image003.png at 01D819DE.8CEFF5C0]  Coastal Engineering Laboratory
  *   Starting in Fall 2022
  *   Funded MSc or PhD positions

Research Interests:

  *   Heat, Salt and Contaminant dispersion including microplastics
  *   Skin-to-bulk temperature parameterization
  *   Ice formation and brine rejection
  *   Buoyancy driven convection
  *   Data assimilation and verification

Requirements:

  *   Excited, curious and creative
  *   Willing to work in a collaborative team environment
  *   Proficient English communication skills
  *   Experience in data analysis
  *   Degree in Engineering, Mathematics, Physics, Oceanography, or a related field

Desirable Skills:

  *   Mathematical modelling
  *   Scientific programming (Python, etc.)
  *   Laboratory experiments
  *   Data visualization


I am strongly committed to creating an inclusive workplace and encourage applications from Black, racialized/visible minority and Indigenous/Aboriginal people, women, persons with disabilities, and 2SLGBTQ+ persons.

If you are interested in applying or would like to know more, please email me at Jason.Olsthoorn at queensu.ca<mailto:Jason.Olsthoorn at queensu.ca> with a CV, and a brief statement of interest.
