About this position
Texas A&M University's Department of Aerospace Engineering is seeking a Postdoctoral Researcher in computational fluid dynamics, turbulence, and fluid mechanics at the main campus in College Station, Texas.
The researcher will conduct high-fidelity simulations of wall-bounded flows with pressure gradients, flow separation, relaminarization, and wake dynamics. Responsibilities include developing computational tools and analysis methods, performing large-scale simulations on high-performance computing systems, analyzing turbulence and complex-flow data, and contributing to physics-based and data-driven models. The work includes boundary layers, separated flows, wakes, airfoils, Lagrangian particle tracking, Eulerian-Lagrangian analysis, validation studies, and related scientific-computing activities.
Applicants must hold a doctorate. A Ph.D. in aerospace engineering, mechanical engineering, applied mathematics, physics, or a related discipline is preferred. Experience with fluid dynamics, turbulence, CFD, DNS, spectral or high-order numerical methods, HPC, reduced-order or surrogate modeling, physics-informed machine learning, and flow-analysis tools will be valuable.
Application materials include a CV or resume, three work references with contact information, and representative publications. Compensation is commensurate, with employee benefits including medical insurance, retirement contributions, paid leave, professional development, tuition assistance, and wellness programs.
Location: College Station, Texas, United States. Position: Full-time postdoctoral staff appointment.
