Job Title: Postdoctoral Scholar OPS-The Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at the Florida A&M University – Florida State University (FAMU-FSU) joint College of Engineering
Location: Tallahassee, FL
Regular/Temporary: Temporary
Full/Part Time
Job ID: 58028
Department
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 Post Doctoral Research Scholar.
Responsibilities
The postdoc will primarily focus on modeling compound flood events under climate change and sea level rise in coastal watersheds via hydrodynamic models. Given that my team works closely with various institutes (academic, government agencies, national labs etc.), there will be several opportunities for collaboration. The selected candidate will present the findings in peer-reviewed articles and conferences. It is also expected that the postdoc contributes to student mentoring and assist in writing research grants.
Qualifications
Dr. Ahmadisharaf's research group currently has multiple research projects funded by National Science Foundation (NSF), US Department of Agriculture (USDA), Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), Florida Department of Environmental Protection and National Academies of Science, Engineering and Medicine (NASEM) on the broad area of water resources and hydrology.
Helpful
Beginning as early as August 2024. Funding is available for 30 months, contingent upon the postdoc performance, with the possibility of extension beyond depending on funding availability. Benefits (like family health insurance) will be provided in addition to a competitive salary.
Contact Info
Highly motivated applicants should contact Dr. Ebrahim Ahmadisharaf (eahmadisharaf@eng.famu.fsu.edu) with their CV, unofficial transcripts and a brief statement describing how their interests can contribute to the research topics.
