The postdoctoral research associate will develop mathematical models for ocean vehicle responses in random waves using the concept of conditional stochastic processes. The position is for one year, but it can be extended to three years depending on the productivity and funding status. U.S. Citizenship is required.

 

Minimum qualification:

  • Ph.D. in Mathematics, Mechanical Engineering, or related fields
  • Solid background in probability theory as well as Gaussian and non-Gaussian stochastic processes

 

Preferred qualification:

  • Prior experience in modeling and simulations
  • Familiar with series approximating probability distribution functions
  • Familiar with wave theories
  • Graduate or post-graduate experience at a U.S. Academic Institution or National Laboratory

 

Job duties:
