About this position

The University of New Hampshire is seeking a full-time Postdoctoral Research Associate in the Engineering for Agri-Environment Lab, led by Dr. Md Sazan Rahman, within the Department of Agriculture, Nutrition, and Food Systems in Durham, United States.

The researcher will contribute to controlled environment agriculture and protected agriculture research, including modeling and simulation of microclimate dynamics; precision monitoring and management of temperature and humidity; heat and moisture transfer; transpiration and moisture generation; and predictive environmental control frameworks designed to improve productivity and resource efficiency.

Responsibilities include developing and validating computational models using TRNSYS, ANSYS Fluent, COMSOL Multiphysics, or related platforms; conducting environmental simulation and sensor calibration; analyzing data; supporting HVAC-related research; and collaborating with University of New Hampshire researchers, Cooperative Extension specialists, and regional growers. The role may include technical assistance for on-farm environmental management and supervision of graduate and undergraduate students.

A Ph.D. in Agricultural Engineering, Environmental Engineering, Biosystems, Bioresource, Biological Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or a related discipline is required. Applicants should demonstrate experience in thermal and moisture-transfer modeling, protected-agriculture microclimate management, environmental sensors, systems integration, and peer-reviewed publication. Programming skills in MATLAB, Python, R, or similar are expected. Experience with machine learning, data-driven environmental control, LabVIEW or CRBasic, and laboratory or field experiments is advantageous.

Applicants must submit a resume/CV, cover letter, and research statement through the online Workday application. Compensation is $45,000–$51,000, with employment contingent on continued external sponsor funding. International candidates are encouraged to apply, although candidates already in the USA are preferred.

What's required

Applicants must hold a Ph.D. in Agricultural Engineering, Environmental Engineering, Biosystems, Bioresource, Biological Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or a related field. Candidates should have strong research experience in heat and moisture transfer modeling, environmental simulation, and microclimate management in protected agriculture; experience calibrating environmental sensors and integrating systems; and a record of peer-reviewed publications. Experience with TRNSYS, ANSYS Fluent, COMSOL Multiphysics, or similar thermal and fluid-dynamics simulation platforms, along with strong programming skills in MATLAB, Python, R, or similar, is required. Machine learning or data-driven modeling applied to environmental control systems is preferred. Additional desirable qualifications include proficiency with data acquisition systems such as LabVIEW or CRBasic, laboratory and field experiment design, strong written and verbal communication, project management, supervision of students, and the ability to meet deadlines. A valid driver's license and willingness to travel regionally are preferred. Prior controlled environment agriculture experience is an asset. Candidates already in the USA are preferred, but international applicants are encouraged to apply. Applicants must submit a resume/CV, cover letter, and research statement.
