The Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at Florida International University (FIU) invites highly motivated candidates to apply for an immediately available full-time postdoctoral research position to work with Dr. Ali Ebrahimian. Current projects in Ebrahimianโs lab are federally funded and focus on areas including watershed modeling (hydrology and water quality), urban flood and pollution control using gray and green stormwater infrastructure, and identification, characterization, and fate of emerging and traditional pollutants in stormwater (e.g., microplastics, sediments, and nutrients) from urban coastal watersheds. Research methods include process-based hydrologic and water quality modeling, AI (machine learning and deep learning) modeling, sensor-based field monitoring, and laboratory experiments.
