RESEARCH ASSOCIATE POSITION ANNOUNCEMENT in the Department of
Mathematics and Statistics at North Carolina A&T State
University Greensboro, NC 27411
POSITION: Research Associate - Analytical and Computational Modeling
in Atmospheric Science.
Applications are invited for an NSF-funded Research Associate position
in the area of analytical and computational modeling of atmospheric turbulent
multiphase flows. This research pertains specifically to the marine
atmospheric boundary layer of a hurricane laden with polydisperse evaporating
sea
spray. In-depth understanding and accurate modeling of the interaction between
ocean spray and turbulent airflow under high-wind conditions of a hurricane is
essential for improving forecast accuracy of intensity of hurricanes and severe
storms.
The selected candidate will actively contribute to the development and
implementation of a mathematical and computational model for a marine
atmospheric boundary layer laden with evaporating polydisperse sea
spray. The model will enable us to accurately describe the effect of
ocean spray on the air-sea exchange of momentum, heat and moisture in
high-wind condition of a tropical cyclone. This research project
combines the fields of applied mathematics, computational fluid
dynamics, and atmospheric science.
MINIMUM QUALIFICATIONS:
Master's or Ph.D. Degree either in Atmospheric Sciences, Applied Mathematics,
Physics, Engineering, or other relevant field.
Prior experience in theoretical and computational fluid dynamics, turbulence,
and
multiphase flows.
Hands-on background in numerical methods and programming skills in
Matlab and/or fortran90.
UNIVERSITY: North Carolina A&T State University is an 1890 land grant
university and a Carnegie doctoral/research-intensive institution with
an enrollment of more than 13,000 students. Greensboro, a
progressive city centrally located between Washington, DC, and Atlanta, GA, has
a
population of around 300,000 residents. Well-known for its quality of
life, the area's mix of industry with schools and universities
contributes to its economic and cultural development and diversity.
