Post-Doctoral Associate in the Center on Stability, Instability and Turbulence

Description:

The Research Center on Stability, Instability and Turbulence (SITE), a center of the Research Institute, New York University Abu Dhabi, seeks to recruit a Post-Doctoral Associate to work in the fluid mechanics laboratory for experimental fluid dynamics.

SITE is inviting applications for fully-funded postdoctoral research associate positions. SITE is highly interdisciplinary and aims to develop novel enabling technology on hydrodynamic stability analysis that has applications in the study of:

1. The development of singularities
2. The long-time behavior of complex systems
3. The formation of spatial patterns
4. The transition between stability and instability
5. The first steps of transition towards turbulence

These topics appear in several disciplines across science, technology, engineering, mathematics, and innovation.

Candidates must hold (or be close to completing) a PhD in Applied Mathematics, Electrical or Mechanical Engineering, Physics and Applied Physics, or a related field. Working in a newly established fluid dynamics laboratory at NYU Abu Dhabi, candidates are expected to have a strong interest in experimental research and collaborate closely with applied mathematicians. PhD holders with a solid publication record and aims for an academic career are encouraged to apply.
