Postdoctoral Associate – Experimental Fluid Dynamics

The Research Center on Stability, Instability and Turbulence (SITE) at New York University Abu Dhabi is hiring a Postdoctoral Associate to support its pioneering work in experimental fluid dynamics. Based in Abu Dhabi, this role is part of the newly established fluid mechanics laboratory and offers a fully funded opportunity to contribute to high-impact interdisciplinary research.

Job Location: Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates
Industry: Higher Education and Research
Function: Research and Experimental Engineering
Salary: Competitive with housing and education subsidies
Gender: Any
Candidate Nationality: Any (UAE Nationals are encouraged to apply)
Candidate Current Location: Any

What Does a Postdoctoral Associate in Experimental Fluid Dynamics Do?

This role focuses on supporting SITE’s mission to explore hydrodynamic stability and the transition from stability to turbulence. The Postdoctoral Associate will work hands-on with experimental setups and collaborate closely with applied mathematicians and engineers in a highly interdisciplinary environment. Research areas include singularity development, complex system behaviors, and early-stage turbulence.

What Are the Key Responsibilities?

- Conduct advanced experiments in fluid dynamics using laboratory-scale setups
- Collaborate with theoretical and computational researchers to bridge experiment and modeling
- Develop novel methodologies and instrumentation to study hydrodynamic stability
- Analyze and interpret experimental data with modern techniques
- Publish results in peer-reviewed journals and present findings at international conferences
- Support the growth of SITE’s laboratory capabilities and mentor junior researchers

What Skills Are Required for a Postdoctoral Role in Fluid Mechanics?

Education:
- PhD in Mechanical Engineering, Applied Mathematics, Physics, Electrical Engineering, or a related field (or nearing completion)

- Experience in experimental research and instrumentation
- Evidence of high-quality publications in relevant fields
- Strong interest in interdisciplinary collaboration
- Excellent communication and teamwork abilities

Preferred:
- Experience with laboratory fluid flow measurement tools (e.g., PIV, LDV)
- Familiarity with hydrodynamic instabilities or singularities in physical systems
- Long-term academic career aspirations

What Benefits Come with This Position?

- Highly competitive salary
- Monthly housing allowance
- Education subsidy for dependent children
- Comprehensive relocation and travel support
