Group openings

In the Atmospheric Turbulence Group at OU, you will work on cutting edge research problems at the intersection of fluid mechanics and atmospheric science. Our work encompasses:

  • Numerical simulations: We use direct numerical simulation and large eddy simulation to study the physics of turbulent flows in the atmosphere. Our simulation-based work spans stably and unstably stratified atmospheric boundary layers, particle-laden flows, turbulent transport, and flows over complex surface topography and urban areas.
  • Field observations: We conduct field campaigns to obtain ground-truth data for evaluating theories and validating numerical simulations.

Open Postdoctoral Scholar Position

July 10, 2023

Update: This position has been filled. Please stay tuned for future opportunities.

Prospective Graduate Students (M.S. or Ph.D.)

If you are interested in joining us for your M.S. or Ph.D., feel free to contact Dr. Salesky to discuss your research interests and funding availability. The School of Meteorology has helpful online resources for prospective graduate students that provide information about the application process. We are located in the National Weather Center on OU’s research campus, which houses the OU School of Meteorology, together with state and federal research units.

While an undergraduate degree in meteorology or atmospheric science is beneficial for prospective graduate students, I also consider applicants with backgrounds in physics, engineering, computer science, applied mathematics, and other branches of the physical sciences.
