Date:  28-Dec-2022 Location:  COLLEGE OF DESIGN & ENG, Kent Ridge Campus, SG Company:  National University of Singapore Job Description We are looking for a full time Post-doctoral researcher to work on Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) simulation in the Future Climate Resilience project. Position commencing in Aug 2022. This posting will remain open until a suitable candidate has been found. PROJECT In the face of climate change and urbanisation, improving resilience of cities is an urgent priority and will increase in importance for decades to come. High-density urban living is an inevitable trend in adapting to rapid urbanisation and climate change. Yet, such high-density nature could pose negative impacts on urban living, such as poor air quality and thermal comfort. Long-term negative impacts increase both intensity and frequency of short-term disruptions. The project aims to develop an integrated approach to predict...
