The prospective student should have a master degree in coastal engineering, physical oceanography, applied mathematics, or a related field and could start the appointment as early as January 2019. Knowledge on some of the topics listed below is desired.

- Flood modeling using coastal ocean numerical models such as ADCIRC, ROMS, Delft3D, etc. - Surface wave modeling using phase-averaged (e.g. SWAN) or phase-resolving (e.g. SWASH, FUNWAVE) numerical models. - Hydrological modeling (focused on coastal regions) using rainfall-runoff models. - Statistical analysis, extreme value theory, and probabilistic risk analysis. - Coastal hydrodynamics (wave theories, nonlinear wave-wave interaction, wave-current interaction, Navier-Stokes equations, shallow water equations, etc.).

Interested students should send their cover letter and detailed CV to Prof. Reza Marsooli: reza.marsooli@stevens.edu
