About The Position

The Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at the Florida A&M University - Florida State University (FAMU-FSU) joint College of Engineering invites applications for a tenure-track position. We are seeking highly qualified applicants with research on fluid dynamics in the near-shore and offshore environments. The specific focus of this search is to expand the collaboration with the faculty in structural and geotechnical engineering. Applicants with significant overlap with the current faculty expertise (ex, focus on wind tunnel testing or focus on structural mechanics rather than fluid mechanics) will not be competitive. The candidate must show evidence of research and collaboration in fluid-structure interaction such as wind-structure or wave-structure interactions. We are especially interested in a candidate with an interdisciplinary background and research experience. Example areas of interest include but not limited to: CFD simulations of wind or wave effects on structures, Computational modeling of turbulence in atmospheric boundary layer winds, Hydroelasticity and wave mechanics (in a scale relevant to typical coastal structures), Hydrodynamic loads on offshore platforms and energy structures, Fluid dynamics associated with tropical cyclones near surface, under current and future climate conditions.

Requirements

• Earned Ph.D. in civil and environmental engineering or a closely related discipline.
• Post-doctoral experience in related topic areas is preferred.
• Evidence of research and collaboration in fluid-structure interaction.
• Strong commitment to teaching excellence.

Nice To Haves

• Possession of a Professional Engineering (PE) License or ability to obtain a Florida PE license.

Responsibilities

• Conduct research on fluid dynamics in near-shore and offshore environments.
• Expand collaboration with faculty in structural and geotechnical engineering.
• Establish and maintain a robust externally funded research program.
• Teach undergraduate and graduate courses.
• Participate in college and professional service.

Benefits

• Robust Total Rewards package including compensation, benefits, wellness, recognition, and employee development programs.
