The postdoctoral fellow will work closely with Dr. Fengyan Li and her research group in the Department of Mathematical Sciences at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (RPI), together with collaborators at Virgina Tech and the University of Massachusetts at Dartmouth. The research will focus on computation-based and/or data-driven reduced order models for PDEs, especially with applications to kinetic equations arising from plasma physics and radiation/neutron transport. 

Required qualifications include 1) a strong background in the development and/or analysis and/or application of numerical methods for PDEs; 2) experience in implementation of numerical methods. Candidates with interest and experience with numerical methods for hyperbolic and/or kinetic equations and complexity reduction techniques will be given preference. 

Evaluation of applications will be conducted on a rolling basis. Applications submitted by December 1, 2025 will be given first consideration. Applicants must submit a cover letter, curriculum vitae, a research statement, and (at least) three letters of recommendation to MathJobs.Org. Inquiries should be sent directly to Dr. Fengyan Li (lif@rpi.edu). 

RPI is committed to the cultivation of a community that is welcoming, inclusive, and above all values learning. We welcome candidates who bring a variety of perspectives to RPI’s work and campus communities. Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute is an Equal Opportunity Employer.
