Postdoc position in breaking waves and sea spray dynamics

Hello Everyone,

We have an open postdoctoral position at the FDT Lab of the University of Texas at Dallas. We are seeking a highly motivated researcher to join our team and lead an experimental study (high-speed shadow imaging and PIV) focused on spume droplet dynamics under high-wind conditions.

To apply: University of Texas at Dallas Employment Opportunities | Research Associate. Prior research experience in air-sea interactions, turbulence, and/or breaking waves and sea spray dynamics is highly preferred. For more information, contact me at kyousefi@utdallas.edu.

Job Summary: The Department of Mechanical Engineering at the University of Texas at Dallas invites applications for a Postdoctoral Researcher position focused on sea spray measurements under high-wind conditions. We seek a highly motivated, independent, and creative researcher with a strong background in air-sea interactions and experimental fluid mechanics. The successful candidate will conduct advanced laboratory measurements to investigate the dynamics of spume droplets at high wind speeds. This will be accomplished by a combination of novel experiments based on high-speed shadow imaging and particle image velocimetry to concurrently measure drop size distribution, production velocity, and deposition velocity. The resulting dataset enables the development of sea-state-dependent parameterizations of spray source function and spray-mediated fluxes.​

Best regards,
Kianoosh
