[ES_JOBS_NET] postdoctoral position - urban flow and climate modeling with large-eddy simulations (Boston University)

[Dan Li]

Hi,

Could you please help distribute this position? Thanks in advance.
Cheers,
Dan

The Environmental Fluid Mechanics <https://sites.bu.edu/efm/> group in the
Department of Earth and Environment at Boston University is seeking a
postdoctoral candidate interested in urban flow and climate modeling using
large-eddy simulations. The successful candidate will lead research on
quantifying flow and scalar transport over real urban canopies and
implications for Advanced Air Mobility. Candidates with previous experience
with the PALM <https://palm.muk.uni-hannover.de/trac> model system and
scientific computing languages (e.g., Python) are preferred, but highly
motivated individuals with background in boundary layer meteorology,
climatology, hydrology, geography, and earth sciences are encouraged to
apply. A Ph.D. degree is required by the time of appointment.

The successful candidate will benefit from close collaborations with an
interdisciplinary team as part of a large project to help develop safe,
affordable, and quiet vertical lift air vehicles that can take off and land
vertically

The successful candidate will also benefit from an outstanding research
environment at Boston University. In particular, the Department of Earth
and Environment at Boston University has strong strengths in areas of
coupled natural and human dimensions of climate change.

Interested applicants should contact Dr. Dan Li (lidan at bu.edu). Please
include your latest CV and names of three references with the email titled
“Application for urban modeling postdoc position by your name”. Position
start date is Sept 1, 2023 but can be changed depending on the candidate’s
availability. Initial contract duration is 12 months. Extension is desired
but conditional on the performance of the candidate.

Boston University is an equal opportunity employer and all qualified
