Postdoctoral Scholar-Fixed Term
About The Position
Michigan State University (MSU) invites applications from highly motivated candidates with outstanding publication records for multiple joint Postdoctoral Research Associate positions, directly supported by TEMPEST, a new National Science Foundation Science and Technology Center, led by Prof. Michael S. Murillo at MSU. The successful candidates will conduct collaborative research at the intersection of non-canonical kinetic theory, non-conventional plasma turbulence modeling, high-speed flows, scientific machine learning for multi-physics problems, agentic multi-modal data science for complex transport phenomena, in addition to forward/backward uncertainty quantification, numerical analysis, and high-performance computing.
Requirements
- Ph.D. in theoretical/computational/experimental physics, engineering, applied/computational mathematics, or a closely related field by the appointment date.
Nice To Haves
- Strong expertise in agentic scientific machine-learning, advanced analysis of fluid mechanics, dusty plasmas, scientific computing, and multi-scale modeling methods are preferred.
