The Climate Change and Sustainable Engineering and Design lab in the Department of Civil Engineering at McGill University invites applications for two postdoctoral positions in climate-hydrology-hydrodynamic systems modelling. These positions involve close collaboration with several members of the Trottier Institute for Sustainability in Engineering and Design (TISED) and other partner organizations, given the interdisciplinary nature of the research. The ideal candidate will have a PhD (obtained within the last three years) in one of the following areas: civil engineering, hydrologic engineering, hydraulic engineering, machine learning in hydrology/water resources, integrated climate-hydrology modelling or related fields.
Strong communication skills – demonstrated through publications and presentations, computer programming skills – experience with programming languages and platforms such as Python, R and Matlab, and experience with Linux, GPUs, cloud services/computing and high performance computing, and organization and project management skills are essential for these positions. Experience with models/software such as HEC-RAS, ANSYS-Fluent, FLOW-3D and climate and hydrologic models would be an asset.
Interested candidates can send their application package (i.e., letter of introduction/interest, academic transcripts, CV, and the names and contact details of at least two references) to laxmi.sushama@mcgill.ca. The position is for two years.
