The Computational Flow Physics and Engineering (CFPE) lab under the supervision 
of Dr. Haoxiang Luo (https://my.vanderbilt.edu/haoxiang/) is seeking a post-
doctoral scholar on computational modeling of fluid-structure interaction (FSI). 
The position is open for immediate hire. We are looking for a highly motivated 
candidate with expertise in developing high-fidelity and efficient numerical FSI 
solvers and parallel computing algorithms. This position is supported by a 
multi-year grant and involves a multidisciplinary team of researchers. To 
qualify for the position, the candidate should have:


	A recent Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering or Aerospace Engineering or 
related fields
	Strong foundation in fluid mechanics and computational fluid dynamics 
(CFD)
	Strong experience in numerical methods, programming, and CFD code 
development 
	Strong experience in parallel computing and code development, especially 
using MPI.


Additionally, the successful candidate should preferably 
	Have sufficient knowledge of finite-element methods and solid mechanics
	Have experience in Immersed-boundary method and FSI modeling
	Have strong verbal and written communication skills
	Be creative and able to work as part of a multi-disciplinary group 
including graduate students, experimentalists in fluid mechanics, and 
researchers in medical science.

The initial appointment will be for one year, with the possibility of renewal 
based on satisfactory performance. The expectation is for the successful 
candidate to remain for a minimum of 2 years.
