The University of Missouri (MU) is inviting applications for a postdoctoral scholar to join Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering. The postdoctoral scholar will work on a NSF funded project to develop, test, and assemble an underwater optical instrument for measuring ocean turbulence (using particle image velocimetry) and motions of marine seep bubbles. The position will start September 1st, 2023 with an initial appointment of one year. The appointment will be renewed annually up to three years.

Minimal qualifications:

• Ph.D. degree in Civil Engineering, Ocean Engineering, Electric Engineering, Physical Oceanography, or related fields.
•  Familiar with Linux, hardware programing, and control.
•  Proficient in programing (C++, Python).
•  Excellent writing and oral communication skills.
•  Publications in peer-reviewed journals.

Preferred qualifications

•   Experiences with camera control and programing.
•   Experiences with Engineering CAD software and ocean instruments.
•   Experiences with Particle Image Velocimetry and motion tracking.

The CEE department has a good cohort of postdoctoral scholars with strong supports for career development. The research team has various research directions in environmental fluid dynamics and its applications using experiments, observations, and numerical simulations. The postdoctoral scholar will be able to:
• Receive training opportunities for career development (teaching, mentoring, and proposal development, etc.)
•  Collaborate with research team on multiple research directions for publications.
•  Engage within an interdisciplinary team with internationally recognized scientists.

To apply:

Please send your CV, a cover letter, and contact information for three references to Prof. Binbin Wang at wangbinb@missouri.edu. Please include ‘bubble imaging – postdoc’ in the subject line. Please demonstrate your capability of instrument development and hardware programing using open-source packages in the letter.

密苏里大学（University of Missouri）土木环境工程系（Civil and Environmental Engineering）湍流课题组在2022秋季计划招收一名博士后研究员。博士后研究方向是开发水下的PIV（Particle Image Velocimetry）和气泡追踪仪器。需要熟悉Linux以及有对硬件编程的基础。Python和C++编程是基本要求。要求博士学位，如果有电子工程，物理海洋学，海洋工程等相关背景，熟练运用三维工程软件（如SolidWorks）会优先考虑。MU和CEE系有很好的博士后研究员的职业发展计划（career development plan）。有意向的申请者请发邮件并附上简历，博士期间的研究简述，和三名推荐人联系方式。工作开始日期为2022年9月1日（时间为一年到三年）。具体信息可以直接联系王老师wangbinb@missouri.edu。邮件标题请注明‘bubble imaging - postdoc’
