Job Summary:

The Fluid-Acoustic-STructure (FAST) laboratory at Rochester Institute of Technology (RIT), directed by Dr. Byron D. Erath, is looking for a motivated Ph.D. graduate to perform postdoctoral research in the field of fluid-structure interactions.

Funded by an NSF award, the research is experimental in nature and will focus on resolving the flow mechanics and resultant wall pressure loading produced by vortex rings impacting surfaces of varying geometry. The work is applicable to the production of human phonation, which is a core research thrust of the FAST lab. As such, the ability to collaborate and interface with researchers across a variety of disciplines (e.g., clinicians, surgeons, engineers) is critical.
