The Levich Institute of the City College of New York has a 
postdoctoral research position available in connection with a recent 
NSF PREM award, which funds a collaboration between us and the 
University of Chicago MRSEC. The general area of research is the 
dynamics of particulate and heterogeneous materials, and this 
position will focus on theoretical and computational aspects of 
interfacial phenomena.  Possible specific topics include the 
evaporation of suspensions, the dynamics of drop impact and
liquid splashes, and the evolution of microscopic liquid films on 
wetting patterns.  Relevant computational techniques include lattice 
Boltzmann, molecular dynamics and Monte Carlo methods.  Further 
information is available at http://www-levich.engr.ccny.cuny.edu/.
					

N/A
					

Candidates should have a Ph. D. in engineering, physics or applied 
mathematics, with experience in fluid mechanics, soft matter systems 
and/or nanoscale phenomena. The position is for two years, with a 
possible extension, and the salary is competitive.

Position will remain open until 12/5/2009 12:00 PM.
