About this position
Texas A&M Engineering is seeking a Postdoctoral Researcher in the Department of Aerospace Engineering at the Main Campus in College Station, Texas, United States.
The researcher will work on computational fluid dynamics, turbulence, and complex flow phenomena. Projects involve high-fidelity simulations of wall-bounded flows with pressure gradients, flow separation, relaminarization, wake dynamics, boundary layers, separated flows, and airfoils. The role also includes developing computational tools and analysis methods, including particle-tracking and flow-analysis tools, and using high-performance computing for large-scale simulations and data analysis.
The postdoctoral researcher will contribute to physics-based and data-driven modeling, validation studies, and interdisciplinary research with faculty, students, and external research partners. Additional duties include preparing technical reports, conference presentations, peer-reviewed publications, and mentoring graduate and undergraduate students.
A doctorate is required, preferably in Aerospace Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Applied Mathematics, Physics, or a related field. Desired expertise includes fluid dynamics, turbulence, CFD, scientific computing, DNS, spectral or high-order numerical methods, high-performance computing, Lagrangian particle tracking, Eulerian-Lagrangian analysis, reduced-order or surrogate modeling, and physics-informed machine learning.
Applicants should submit a CV or resume, three work references with contact information, and representative publications. Compensation is commensurate with qualifications. Texas A&M Engineering provides a broad employee benefits package, including medical insurance, retirement benefits, paid leave, professional development, tuition assistance, and wellness programs. No application deadline is specified.
