PhD/Postdoc positions in Urban Climate Modeling is available in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology. The prospective researcher will mainly focus on the influence of building infrastructure/vehicles on the dynamics of coupled heat and moisture transport in the urban atmospheric boundary layer (ABL). The postdoctoral research associate will also address other open questions related to extreme weather and urban planning. The work will rely on a combination of computational fluid dynamics (CFD), large eddy simulations (LES) and WRF modeling; experience with one of these models is thus advantageous. The research will be supervised by Professor Jiachuan Yang (https://facultyprofiles.ust.hk/profiles.php?profile=jiachuan-yang-cejcyang), questions about the scope of the work can be addressed to (cejcyang@ust.hk).

PhD candidates should possess a Bachelor or Master’s degree in Civil and Environmental Engineering, Atmospheric Science or related disciplines. Good background with research experience in Fluid Mechanics or Climate Modeling is highly preferred. Self-motivation and the ability to work independently are required, and IELTS overall score > 6.5. The scholarship is ~17800 HKD per month. Interested applicants are encouraged to submit your latest CV, providing details of your relevant experience, to Professor Yang for consideration (cejcyang@ust.hk). Only shortlisted people will be informed.


Postdoc candidates should possess a Ph.D. in atmospheric sciences or engineering. Excellent written English and oral communication skills are required. Interested candidates are encouraged to apply as soon as possible, the anticipated start date is April, 2020. Applicants should apply by sending (1) curriculum vitae and (2) two most representative publications to (cejcyang@ust.hk). Review of applications will begin immediately and continue until the position is filled. Appointment will be made initially on a contract with 12 months, renewable subject to mutual agreement. Salary is 26,500 HKD/month or higher which will be commensurate with qualifications and experiences. Fringe benefits including annual leave, medical benefits and Mandatory Provident Fund (MPF) will be provided. 返回小木虫查看更多
