JOB TITLE Post Doctoral Fellow (WUI Fire Emissions, Experiments, and Multiscale Modeling) LOCATION Worcester DEPARTMENT NAME Civil, Environmental, & Architectural Engineering - NFR JM DIVISION NAME Worcester Polytechnic Institute - WPI JOB DESCRIPTION SUMMARY The research group at Worcester Polytechnic Institute is seeking a postdoctoral researcher to contribute to an interdisciplinary project on wildland-urban interface (WUI) fire emissions from building materials and scaled residential structures. The primary focus of the position is to support the current project through a combination of experiments, data analysis, and modeling. The project examines how fire behavior influences aerosol and gas emissions, whether emissions from complex building assemblies can be predicted from their individual materials, and how fire behavior and emission characteristics change across experimental scales. The position is intended for a researcher who can contribute...
