The Urban Fluid Dynamics group at The City College of New York invites applications for two PhD positions in urban heat and air quality modeling. The first position will focus on developing a framework for forecasting urban air quality at sub-km scales, and the second will involve downscaling global climate projections to urban scales and developing dynamic risk indices for urban communities.Air quality forecasts are often unreliable at urban scales, and current forecast models do not have representation for the urban environment and the environmental processes. This project aims to develop a robust urban air quality modeling framework that accurately accounts for various urban climate processes and anthropogenic activities. It will involve developing and incorporating new urban surface layer turbulence parameterizations for scalar transport, advanced representation for various urban systems, including building energy use and traffic, and accurate representation of urban form and land use.The second position aims to develop future urban heat risk projections at sub-km scales. This work will involve dynamically downscaling future climate projections using an urban climate model. The downscaled projections, along with socio-economic data, will be used to develop risk indices using stochastic or AI/ML-based models. The simulations will be centered around the eastern US. We seek students interested in fluid dynamics and climate modeling with engineering or atmospheric sciences backgrounds. Applicants must have a Bachelor's or Master's (preferred) in one of the following disciplines: Environmental/Civil/Mechanical/Chemical Engineering, Environmental/Atmospheric Sciences, Meteorology, or Physics. Proficiency in Python and Fortran is a must, and experience in UNIX or Linux environments will be helpful. The position will be based in New York City. Both positions are fully funded ($41,000 per year) plus tuition and healthcare benefits.Interested students, kindly send your resume or CV to Prof. Prathap Ramamurthy (pramamurthy@ccny.cuny.edu) with the subject line “Application to Open PhD positions.” The deadline for application is February 25th. ![]()
