PHD position

Joint Ph. D. position in Engineering Geology and Hydraulic Engineering of the Civil engineering and Geosciences faculty "The making of present-day river deltas"

Research project
Rivers deliver vast amounts of sediment to the coastline while the local interactions with wave- and tide-induced currents shape these sediments into unique yet highly dynamic deltas. Better understanding of these processes will directly improve the understanding of subsurface heterogeneity and quantify its uncertainty. Despite their uniqueness, each delta has been formed by the interaction of water flow and sediment transport, processes that are all well understood. By means of process-scale computer simulations delta evolution can be viewed from a new perspective. As such, numerical models provide a unique opportunity to set up new experiments in order to reveal generic delta behaviour and delta evolution in their response to past and future climate change, sediment load and sea level.
Job description
To better understand delta dynamics as well their resulting subsurface heterogeneity and geo-technical properties, the applicability of numerical process-based modeling (Delft3D) will be pushed to its limits. Boundary conditions and validation data for the modelling experiments will be based on field studies of various deltas. The goal of the modelling will be to better understand the intrinsic processes to that govern morphodynamic evolution at subenvironment scale such as mouth bar formation and channel bifurcation under different river regime, wave and tidal conditions.
Requirements
For this position we are looking for a University graduate in the field of (Applied) Earth Sciences or Hydraulic Engineering with a strong geology background and vivid interest in Engineering Geology.

Max Salary per month € 1933 to 2472

不是跟教授套一下瓷吗？

具体什么叫陶瓷，俺不大清楚。俺只是拿了4篇SCI paper（尚在审稿期的manuscript）给他look look，就搞定了。

PhD Position in Paleoceanographical Modeling

Circulation of the Oligocene-Miocene Mediterranean Sea and Paratethys

This position is part of the research theme 揅limate Variability and Geodynamics?of the Utrecht Centre of Geosciences and embodies a joint effort of the Faculty of Geosciences and the Faculty of Physics and Astronomy (Meteorology and Physical Oceanography). The aim of this project is to use an ocean general circulation model to gain insight into how paleogeography and paleoclimate affected the circulation and water properties ?and thus sedimentary environments ?of the Mediterranean Sea/Paratethys. Focus is on the Oligocene-Miocene period when the connection between the Mediterranean proper and the Paratethys underwent major changes and the Mediterranean lost its connection to the Indian Ocean. Work will be carried out at the Department of Earth Sciences of the Faculty of Geosciences and involves close collaboration with scientists active in lithosphere dynamics, paleoceanography, and physical oceanography.

For this project we seek an outstanding individual with a recent MSc or equivalent degree, with a broad interest in sedimentary geology and tectonics and familiar with numerical modeling, preferably but not necessarily, in the context of ocean circulation. Proficiency in at least one modern programming language is a requirement.

We offer a full time PhD position for the duration of four years, with one year probation. Your salary will be € 1,877 during the first year (gross per month) and will reach € 2,407 during the fourth year. We also offer a pension scheme, a health insurance allowance and flexible employement conditions. Conditions are based on the Collective Employement Agreement of the Dutch Universities and are supplemented with a holiday allowance of 8% per year.
