About this position
The Center for Natural Resources at the New Jersey Institute of Technology is recruiting a postdoctoral researcher to work on modeling water flow in rivers and estuaries under rainfall and coastal flooding conditions.
The position is focused on developing and applying high-precision hydrology and hydraulics simulations for complex urban flood scenarios. The selected researcher will work on operational models that support municipal resilience and help protect critical infrastructure and communities.
Core activities include running transient-condition flood simulations, incorporating design storms and projected rainfall events, processing spatial-temporal datasets, and validating model outputs against historical records. The role also includes mentoring graduate students and communicating research through publications in leading journals.
The work is based in the Center for Natural Resources, part of NJIT, with a research agenda centered on robust, actionable modeling for pluvial, fluvial, and coastal flood risk.
Funding details
Postdoctoral salary of $62,232.00 base pay; full-time, exempt, salary position.
What's required
A Ph.D. in Hydrology, Hydraulics, Civil Engineering, or a related discipline is required. Candidates should demonstrate mastery of established hydrology and hydraulics models, specifically HEC-RAS, HEC-HMS, and SWMM, and have a strong foundation in hydrology and hydraulics. The post also emphasizes the ability to produce consistent, defensible model results; equivalent education and experience may be considered at the university's discretion.
