Postdoctoral Researcher

The Technion Complex Fluids Lab at Technion–Israel Institute of Technology, Israel, seeks a postdoc with a background in simulations, particularly OpenFoam and/or Basilisk, to work on a multidisciplinary project as part of an international collaboration between Technion (Asst. Prof. Evgeniy Boyko) and Princeton University (Prof. Howard A. Stone), funded by the NSF-BSF program. 

The successful candidate will join an international team and work closely with Asst. Prof. E. Boyko and Prof. H. A. Stone on rationalizing and resolving a mismatch of experiments and simulations for viscoelastic channel flows.

As part of the collaboration and training, a postdoc will visit Prof. Stone's group at Princeton University.

Responsibilities

• Lead simulations performance and manage a computational cluster.
• Manage a multidisciplinary research project from conception through publication.
• Acquire new skills and knowledge as required to carry out the research project.
• Meet weekly for updates on the progress and discussions.

Qualifications

• Ph.D. in Mechanical, Chemical, Aerospace Engineering, Physical Sciences, or Applied Math.
• A background in fluid mechanics is required.
• A strong and proven background in simulations using OpenFoam and/or Basilisk is required.
• A background in non-Newtonian fluids is an advantage.
• A solid publication track.
• Ability to read scientific literature.
• Excellent interpersonal skills.
• Ability to take initiative and work independently.
• A love and passion for scientific research.

The position is initially for one year and can be extended to 1-2 additional years based on performance and mutual agreement.

Interested and qualified candidates should send a CV, the contact information of three referees, and a cover letter to Asst. Prof. Evgeniy Boyko [email protected]
