Additional Department Summary: The Civil, Construction and Environmental
Engineering Department at The University of Alabama is seeking a candidate
for a Postdoctoral fellow position. This position is available to
individuals with research interests in atmospheric turbulence and
environmental fluid mechanics with expertise in turbulence theory and
simulations, data-driven modeling, and advanced measurement techniques.

Successful candidates will hold a terminal degree in Civil Engineering or a
related field such as atmospheric sciences or boundary layer meteorology
and demonstrate a record of academic achievement in research that includes
peer-reviewed manuscripts in fundamental fluid mechanics journals and
atmospheric sciences journals. Initial appointments are for one year, with
renewal contingent upon demonstration of research productivity and funding.

experimental and computational approaches including large eddy simulations
(LES), direct numerical simulations (DNS), and numerical weather prediction
(NWP) models are required. Familiarity in handling and analyzing data from
a wide array of meteorological instruments such as Doppler lidar, sodar,
eddy covariance systems, microwave radiometers, radiosondes, and aerosol
sensors is needed. Background in data-driven and complex systems approaches
to model turbulent flows, including event-based modeling and network
science-based techniques are also necessary.
