Applications from qualified US citizens and permanent residents are invited for
the positions of Research Assistant Professors, Post-Doctoral Fellows, and Research
Assistants. The salary and stipend depend upon the qualifications and experience.
The research is funded by a $2.5 million, 5-year NSF grant to M. H. Chaudhry and
J. Imran, “PIRE: Modeling of Flood Hazards and Geomorphic Impacts of Levee Breach
and Dam Failure” and by funds available from other sources. Unique opportunities
exist for collaboration and participation in the related ongoing research at Université
Catholique de Louvain, Belgium and Instituto Superior Tecnico, Lisbon, Portugal
for short periods or for up to a year.
Successful candidates are expected to conduct laboratory experiments, develop and/or
apply 3-D numerical models of unsteady flow and sediment transport. Research Professors
and Post-Doctoral Fellows require a doctoral degree and the Research Assistant positions
require an MS degree in civil engineering, geophysics, coastal engineering, oceanography
or in a related field although exceptional candidates with BS degree will also receive
consideration. Females and minority students are especially encouraged to apply.
