State University of New York at Buffalo
Postdoctoral Associate
State University of New York at Buffalo, New York, New York, us, 10261
Prof. Sean Bennett in the Department of Geography seeks a Postdoctoral Associate to support fundamental research on geophysical flows. The work consists of developing and expanding the use of physical models to examine flow, turbulence, sediment transport, and/or biological agents that occur on hillslopes, in concentrated flows, and within and near rivers. The postdoctoral associate will employ state-of-the-art experimental techniques, innovative methodologies, and/or numerical models to make fundamental advances to existing literature.
Duties will include but are not limited to:
Helping develop novel experimental campaigns to explore the interactions between turbulent flow and sediment transport.
Helping develop novel experimental campaigns to explore the swimming capabilities, upstream movement, and schooling behavior of relatively small fish as they navigate complex turbulent flow fields.
Using novel analytical techniques for data processing, using numerical models of varying complexity to expand parameter space, and using and/or developing agent-based models for the movement and behavior of fish in rivers.
Presenting material at conferences, writing research papers for publication, and/or assisting in preparing grants for funding agencies.
