The Levich Institute of the City College of New York has postdoctoral research positions available in connection with a recent NSF PREM award, which funds a collaboration between us and the University of Chicago MRSEC. The general area of research is the dynamics of particulate and heterogeneous materials, and the position will focus on theoretical and computational aspects of interfacial phenomena and particulate flow systems. Possible specific interfacial topics include the evaporation of suspensions, the dynamics of drop impact and splashing, and the evolution of microscopic liquid films on wetting patterns; possible specific particulate studies include rheology, structure, and continuum models of colloidal suspensions and granular materials. Relevant computational techniques include but are not limited to lattice Boltzmann, molecular dynamics and Monte Carlo methods. Further information is available at http://www-levich.engr.ccny.cuny.edu/. Candidates should have a Ph. D. in engineering, physics or applied mathematics, with experience in fluid mechanics, soft matter systems and/or nanoscale phenomena. Positions are for two years with annual evaluation and a possible extension, and the salary is competitive. If interested, please supply a CV, a cover letter describing interests, selected reprints and the names of three references to Prof. Joel Koplik (koplik@sci.ccny.cuny.edu), Levich Institute ST-1M, City College of CUNY, New York, NY 10031 USA. City College is an AA/EO/ADA Employer.
