Position Summary

The Center for Natural Resources (CNR) at the New Jersey Institute of Technology (NJIT) http://cnr.njit.edu has an immediate opening for multiple postdoc positions in the area of modeling water flow in rivers and estuaries as subjected to rain and coastal flooding. The position is offered on the Main Campus of NJIT in Newark, 20 minutes from downtown New York City. The salary is very competitive.

Essential Functions

The research position requires conducting simulations for water flow and sediment transport in rivers under steady state and transient (flooding, drying) conditions. Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence will be utilized to find causality between flood levels and rainfall. In many cases, the numerical results would need to be validated by comparison to experimental results using advanced parameter estimation techniques.

Prerequisite Qualifications

• The qualified candidate would have a PhD in Hydrology, Hydraulics, or Civil Engineering, and be able to conduct numerical simulations using existing programs or programs that they develop. They must have a strong understanding of hydraulics and mathematics (especially for ML/AI).
• The applicant needs to have a demonstrated ability in writing articles for publication in top journals, to possess excellent communication skills to mentor graduate students, and to interact with scientists/engineers in other fields.
• At the university's discretion, the education and experience prerequisites may be exempted where the candidate can demonstrate to the satisfaction of the university, an equivalent combination of education and experience specifically preparing the candidate for success in the position.
