rAbout This Role:

The Alan Levin Department of Mechanical and Nuclear Engineering at Kansas State University is seeking a highly motivated Postdoctoral Researcher to join our cutting-edge research team. The position focuses on advanced applications of machine learning (ML) and artificial intelligence (AI) in nuclear engineering and computational science. The researcher will develop AI-driven systems to analyze multi-modal data from nuclear reactors for diagnosis and prognosis, with a focus on multi-phase flow modeling and thermal-hydraulic simulations.

The Postdoctoral Researcher will help design data-agnostic AI frameworks to process reactor data and run autonomous simulations. The overarching goal is to improve reactor safety and operational efficiency through predictive diagnostics and autonomous decision-making. Additionally, the researcher will contribute to the development of AI-augmented multi-physics simulations to enhance the accuracy and efficiency of fluid dynamics simulations in multi-phase systems.

This position offers a unique opportunity for educational innovation, including the creation of an \"AI-expert\" to assist students in understanding complex simulation problems. The successful candidate will play a key role in integrating AI systems into hands-on learning environments, fostering excellence in both research and teaching.

Applicants should have a strong background in nuclear engineering, ML or AI, computational science with a passion for research and education.

We are offering an exciting postdoctoral research opportunity focused on the integration of advanced AI and ML technologies in nuclear engineering and computational science.
