Department Responsibilities
We are seeking highly qualified applicants with research on fluid dynamics in the near-shore and offshore environments. The specific focus of this search is to expand the collaboration with our faculty in multiple areas (structural, geotechnical, or environmental engineering). Applicants with significant overlap with the current faculty expertise (ex: focus on wind tunnel testing or focus on structural mechanics rather than fluid mechanics) will not be competitive.
The candidate must show evidence of research and collaboration in fluid-structure interaction such as wind-structure or wave-structure interactions. We are especially interested in a candidate with an interdisciplinary background and research experience. Example areas of interest include but not limited to:
· CFD simulations of fluids acting on solid surfaces
· Multi-scale fluid dynamics
· Hydroelasticity and wave mechanics (in a scale relevant to typical coastal structures)
· Hydrodynamic loads on offshore platforms and energy structures
· Fluid dynamics associated with tropical cyclones near surface, under current and future climate conditions
QualificationsCandidates must possess an earned Ph.D. in civil and environmental engineering or closely related discipline. Post-doctoral experience in related topic areas is preferred. The successful candidate is expected to establish and maintain a robust externally funded research program, have a strong commitment to teaching excellence in undergraduate and graduate courses, and participate in college and professional service. Possession of a Professional Engineering (PE) License or the ability to obtain a Florida PE license is highly desirable.
