Offer Description

The candidate will work on modeling turbulent flows using laboratory experiments with access to an experimental tank equipped with a 1 m rotating tank. The work aims to study topographical effects with density variation, validate current models, and involves collaboration with several researchers and institutions. The project benefits from a new experimental facility funded by THEIA ERC, including a large 1-meter tank to study geophysical flows under rotating and stratified conditions.

Key activities include:

1. PIV measurements of large-scale flows during spin-down with topography.
2. Measuring drag and dissipation in rotating fluids with spheres or topography.

The experiments will initially use pure water, then salt water to explore density effects. Collaboration on ongoing studies may also be possible.

About CNRS and ISTerre: CNRS is a leading global research organization. ISTerre, part of Grenoble Alpes University, focuses on Earth sciences, employing around 300 staff, with activities spanning observation, experimentation, and modeling of geophysical processes.

The recruited person will join the geodynamo team within the THEIA ERC project and should have experience in experimental fluid mechanics, be a team player, possess knowledge of numerical simulation codes, and have a good command of French.
