Postdoc in computational fluid-structure interaction at Vanderbilt University
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. To qualify for the position, the candidate should have:
- A recent Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering or Aerospace Engineering or related fields
- Strong experience in numerical methods, programming, and CFD code development
- Strong experience in parallel computing and algorithm development
Additionally, the successful candidate should preferably have
- Sufficient knowledge of finite-element methods and solid mechanics
- Experience in developing large-eddy simulation (LES) code
- Experience in immersed-boundary method and FSI modeling
- Strong verbal and written communication skills
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.
