Post-Doctoral Associate
Division of Sciences and Mathematics
NYU Abu Dhabi
Applications are invited for a postdoctoral position studying doubly-diffusive (fingering) convection with Professor Francesco Paparella at New York University Abu Dhabi (NYUAD). The appointment will be for one year with potential for further two-years renewal, starting no later than Spring 2018.
The successful candidate will be in charge of running and analyzing direct numerical simulations of fingering convection, with special emphasis to its Lagrangian facets, and will collaborate with Professor Paparella in developing reduced models and flux parameterizations. The post-doc will have direct access to NYUAD’s high performance computing facility (the Dalma cluster). Funds are also available for travel to conferences and collaborative endeavors.
Applicants must hold a PhD in applied mathematics, ocean/atmospheric sciences or related fields. The successful applicant will have significant experience in fluid dynamics, particularly on convective processes, and provable skills in running computational fluid dynamics codes and analyzing their results. Coding skills in Python, C or Fortran would be a plus.
The terms of employment are very competitive. Applications will be accepted immediately and candidates will be considered until the position is filled. To be considered, all applicants must submit a cover letter, curriculum vitae, transcript of degree, a one-page summary of research accomplishments and interests, and at least 2 letters of recommendation, all in PDF format.

About NYUAD:
New York University has established itself as a Global Network University. The network has three foundational degree-granting campuses: New York, Abu Dhabi, and Shanghai, complemented by a network of eleven research and study-away sites across five continents. Our students are drawn from around the world and surpass all traditional recruitment benchmarks, both US and global. Our goal is to develop a cohort of international students attuned to and educated for an inclusive global society. Students and Faculty will circulate within the global network in pursuit of common research interests and the promotion of cross-cultural and interdisciplinary solutions for problems both local and global.
Entering its eighth year, NYU Abu Dhabi has recruited a cohort of faculty who are distinguished in their research and teaching. NYU Abu Dhabi’s highly selective liberal arts enterprise is complemented by an institute for advanced research, sponsoring cutting-edge projects across the Arts, Humanities, Social Sciences, Sciences, and Engineering.
