Postdoc in computational fluid-structure interaction at Vanderbilt University

The Computational Flow Physics and Engineering (CFPE) lab under the supervision 
of Dr. Haoxiang Luo (https://my.vanderbilt.edu/haoxiang/) is seeking a post-
doctoral scholar on computational modeling of fluid-structure interaction (FSI). 
The position is open for immediate hire. We are looking for a highly motivated 
candidate with expertise in developing high-fidelity and efficient numerical FSI 
solvers and parallel computing algorithms. To qualify for the position, the 
candidate should have:

- A recent Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering or Aerospace Engineering or related 
fields
- Strong experience in numerical methods, programming, and CFD code development 
- Strong experience in parallel computing and algorithm development

Additionally, the successful candidate should preferably have
- Sufficient knowledge of finite-element methods and solid mechanics
- Experience in developing large-eddy simulation (LES) code
- Experience in immersed-boundary method and FSI modeling
- Strong verbal and written communication skills

The initial appointment will be for one year, with the possibility of renewal 
based on satisfactory performance. The expectation is for the successful 
candidate to remain for a minimum of 2 years.
