Postdoc research fellow Full-time

Position Summary The Center for Natural Resources (CNR) at the New Jersey Institute of Technology ( invites applications for a postdoc position in the area of modeling water flow in rivers and estuaries as subjected to rain and coastal flooding. We are seeking distinct technical excellence to bridge the gap between theoretical hydrology and applied engineering solutions for complex urban flood scenarios.

Title Post Doctoral Research Associate

As coastal and pluvial flood risks intensify, the need for precise, reliable, and robust hydraulic and hydrologic simulations is critical. This role focuses on the rigorous application of industry-standard models to generate actionable data for municipal resilience. You will be responsible for the development of operational models that protect critical infrastructure and communities.

Essential Functions Advanced Modeling: execute high-precision H&H simulations for urban flood analysis, focusing on pluvial and fluvial interactions.

Operational Excellence: Develop and run transient condition simulations using HEC-RAS and similar platforms, incorporating design storms and projected rainfall events.

Data Integrity: Mentor graduate students and translate technical findings into high-quality publications for top-tier journals.

D. in Hydrology, Hydraulics, Civil Engineering, or a related discipline.

Strong foundation in hydrology and hydraulics.
