JOB SUMMARY

The Office of Naval Research (ONR) has established the Center for Naval Research & Education (CNRE) at the University of Michigan (CNRE in the News). Directed by Professor Krishnan Mahesh, the CNRE will address fundamental science and technology challenges of the future within the context of naval applications while training diverse and capable future generations. The core of the CNRE is a group of highly talented, energetic, multi-disciplinary postdoctoral researchers, senior graduate students, and undergraduate research trainees who create the vibrant and intellectually stimulating environment of excellence that will define the CNRE. CNRE research is both computational and experimental; we work on exciting problems in diverse areas such as bio-fluid interactions, signatures, wave energy, advanced materials, complex hydrodynamics and hydroacoustics, data assimilation and multi-disciplinary optimization, and autonomy. We seek talented, motivated postdoctoral applicants from all areas of engineering, math, physics, computer science and other relevant areas.
The duties and expectations of this position include performing research, participating in the preparation of technical reports and papers related to research and collaborating with other members of the center engaged in related research. Postdoctoral fellows may also participate in instructional activities, and in mentoring undergraduate and graduate students engaged in research activities.

WHO WE ARE

The Department of Naval Architecture and Marine Engineering at the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, was started in 1879 with an act of Congress authorizing a Navy officer to teach “steam engineering and iron shipbuilding.” Since this modest beginning, NAME has grown into a worldwide leader in education and research, with 25 faculty and 11 staff, serving our undergraduate and graduate students along with a network of some 3,000 living alumni. Our department continues to develop engineers and technology to advance the state-of-the-art systems operating in the marine environment. The department’s students and faculty engage in a wide range of research, with specialists working in hydrodynamics; marine and offshore structures; dynamics, control and marine system integration; robotics and autonomy; yacht design; design, production, and management; marine renewable energy; and structural and hydro-acoustics. The Department has access to outstanding computational resources as well as the experimental facilities of the Marine Hydrodynamics Laboratory with its large physical modeling basin which serves as a vital resource.

REQUIRED QUALIFICATIONS*

A doctoral degree in Mechanical, Aerospace, Naval Architecture & Marine Engineering, Scientific Computation, Computer Science, Mathematics, Physics or related areas is required. The successful candidate will have a strong record of computational/theoretical/research and excellent communication skills.
