| Research Associate – Experimental Agricultural Fluid Dynamics Biological and Environmental Engineering, Cornell University Location: Ithaca, NY The College of Agriculture and Life Sciences at Cornell University embraces diversity and seeks candidates who will contribute to an innovative research in agricultural fluid dynamics through assisting a building of next generation wind generator that supports students, faculty, and staff of all identities and backgrounds. Position Summary The Department of Biological and Environmental Engineering at Cornell University seeks a research associate to (1) design and engineer wind tunnel that can experimentally simulate and control the wind conditions in farm field (2) investigate the important fluid dynamical features of the farm field to improve the pest monitoring systems. Beyond the main duty, the research associate is expected to also support and assist graduate student and postdoctoral scholars’ projects involving various fluid mechanics research, including but not limited to biomechanics of insect wings, biomechanics of semi-aquatic insects. Ideal candidates would have strong background in experimental fluid mechanics in the context of agriculture and has experience in building the wind tunnel and building a successful experimental setup using the wind tunnel. The position includes a 12-month initial appointment, with the possibility for renewal pending satisfactory performance, funding and available work. Duties and Responsibilities Designing and building a wind tunnel for agricultural application. (25%) -
