The New Jersey Institute of Technology (NJIT) invites applications for a highly motivated Postdoctoral Researcher position to conduct fundamental research in the area of reduced order modeling for transport-dominated and shock-laden flows. This is a position with an initial term of one year, renewable contingent upon mutual agreement and availability of funding.

• Developing optimal-transport-based formulations to address the limitations of linear-projection-based reduced-order models.
• Demonstrating the performance of these formulations on advection-dominated and shock-laden flows in one and two spatial dimensions.
• Preparing and delivering presentations at national and international conferences.
• Publishing in academic journals.

• A recently awarded Ph.D. in a relevant field (Mechanical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, Applied Mathematics, etc.).
• Demonstrated experience in numerical methods for the solution of partial differential equations, and reduced‑order modeling of high-dimensional systems.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with a proven record of scholarly publication.
• At the university’s discretion, the qualifications prerequisites may be exempted where the candidate can demonstrate an equivalent combination of education and experience preparing them for success in this position.

• Prior experience/familiarity with the field of optimal transport.
• Experience in numerical modeling of fluid flows, especially at supersonic and hypersonic regimes.
