Post Doctoral Research Scientist in the field
of Computational Geodynamics

The Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory of Columbia University invites applications for a full-time post-doctoral research scientist position in Computational Geodynamics. The successful applicant will work with Marc Spiegelman: mspieg@ldeo.columbia.edu (LDEO/CU Applied Math) to develop advanced computational models for coupled fluid/solid dynamics with applications to subduction zones. These models will explore the behavior of reactive fluid flow in strongly deformable permeable media and be designed using advanced computational libraries. The successful candidate will join a large and growing group of Computational and Earth Scientists working on a wide range of dynamics problems related to complex plate boundaries. The initial project is in collaboration with the Peter van Keken: keken@umich.edu at the University of Michigan. The position is a full-time 2-year appointment, with the opportunity of continuation and growth depending on progress and availability of funding.

Requirements:

A recent Ph.D. in Computational Science and/or Geodynamics, or a related discipline is required. Experience in modern software engineering and languages (C++, python), numerical methods is highly preferred. Experience with large scale computing applied to specific fields (e.g. physics, fluid mechanics, multi-phase flow etc) is encouraged.

To apply:

Applicants should submit a personal statement describing research experience and interests, curriculum vitae, and the names and addresses of three references, to: https://academicjobs.columbia.edu/applicants/Central?quickFind=52503

Please follow instructions on how to apply since we only accept online applications. Thank you.
