availability) in as early as Spring 2025 or Fall 2025 semester at the City 
College of New York (CCNY) of the City University of New York (CUNY). The 
research aims to develop new and enhanced existing numerical models for problems

the candidates are highly motivated and goal-oriented and have

   1. MS degree in mechanical/civil/ocean engineering, or applied math, or other 
related disciplines
   2. Solid knowledge in mathematics and physics

Experience in computer programming (e.g., Fortran, C++, Python) and flow 
modeling and algorithms is preferred. Background in both math and engineering is 
especially welcome. People with citizenship of the U.S. and its territories may 
have priority.
