POSTDOC POSITION IN MECHANICAL / NAVAL ARCHITECTURE AND MARINE ENGINEERING, UNIVERSITY OF MICHIGAN

By | Educational, Funding Opportunities, SC2 jobs

Dr. Harish Ganesh (Department of Naval Architecture and Marine Engineering), Prof. Jesse Capecelatro (Department of Mechanical Engineering), and Prof. Steven Ceccio (Department of Mechanical Engineering) are currently seeking a post-doctoral scholar for a one-year position.

Job Description:

This position involves developing numerical methods to leverage time-resolved 3-D experimental measurements using Particle Image Velocimetry (PIV) and Particle Tracking Velocimetry (PTV). Specifically, the project aims at developing a particle based numerical framework to augment experimentally obtained PTV data in the near- and far-wake behind a bluff body. The candidate should have a PhD in Engineering or a related field (e.g., Physics, Mathematics, or Computer Science) with experience in Scientific Computing (proficiency in MPI and Python) and an interest in high Reynold’s number turbulent flows.

How to Apply:

If you are interested in this position, please email your curriculum vitae and at least two references to Jesse Capecelatro at jcaps@umich.edu.
