Postdoctoral Associate
4 days ago
Prof. Sean Bennett in the Department of Geography seeks a Postdoctoral Associate to support fundamental research on geophysical flows. The work consists of developing and expanding the use of physical models to examine flow, turbulence, sediment transport, and/or biological agents that occur on hillslopes, in concentrated flows, and within and near rivers. The postdoctoral associate will employ state-of-the-art experimental techniques, innovative methodologies, and/or numerical models to make fundamental advances to existing literature.
Duties will include but are not limited to:
- Helping develop novel experimental campaigns to explore the interactions between turbulent flow and sediment transport.
- Helping develop novel experimental campaigns to explore the swimming capabilities, upstream movement, and schooling behavior of relatively small fish as they navigate complex turbulent flow fields.
- Using novel analytical techniques for data processing, using numerical models of varying complexity to expand parameter space, and using and/or developing agent-based models for the movement and behavior of fish in rivers.
- Presenting material at conferences, writing research papers for publication, and/or assisting in preparing grants for funding agencies.
