Postdoctoral Fellow (PREP0004598) - #Faculty

PREP Research Associate



This position is part of the National Institute of Standards (NIST) Professional Research Experience (PREP) program. NIST recognizes that its research staff may wish to collaborate with researchers at academic institutions on specific projects of mutual interest, thus requires that such institutions must be the recipient of a PREP award. The PREP program requires staff from a wide range of backgrounds to work on scientific research in many areas. Employees in this position will perform technical work that underpins the scientific research of the collaboration.



The project will focus on the development and application of Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) techniques in structural wind engineering, including (i) evaluating the effects of complex topography on wind loads on structures and (ii) quantifying uncertainties in wind loads on tall buildings estimated by CFD techniques. The research work will include (i) development of i...
