Postdoc: Experimental Turbulence & Copepod Dynamics

European Geosciences Union (EGU); Wimereux; On-site; EUR 26,000 - 30,000; Full time

Job summary

ULCO invites applications for a post-doctoral position in experimental fluid dynamics to study copepod behavior in turbulence. The project combines ultrasonic Doppler measurements with the Agiturb system to quantify fluid and copepod velocities in a controlled tank.

The successful candidate will set up experiments, explore Reynolds-number effects on behavior, and work within the LOG Laboratory of Oceanology and Geosciences in Wimereux, France, starting Jan 2027.

Qualifications

• Holds a PhD in Physical Oceanography or Fluid Mechanics.

Responsibilities

• Set up the experiment using the Agiturb system and ultrasonic equipment.
• Investigate the effect of Reynolds number on copepod–fluid interactions.
