Job summary

University of East Anglia is seeking a PhD candidate to investigate classical and novel water-wave dynamics on non-flat geometries. The project will address axisymmetric systems, conjugate flows, and solitary waves, using cutting-edge applied mathematics and modelling techniques.

Entry requires at least a 2:1 in Mathematics or Physics. The funded studentship covers home fees and a UK stipend for 3 years, with a current rate of £21,805 per year, subject to inflationary uplifts.

Qualifications

• 2:1 in Mathematics or Physics as the standard entry requirement.
• Strong mathematical and analytical abilities.
• Experience in PDEs, fluid dynamics, or computational modelling is beneficial.

Responsibilities

• Investigate fluid dynamical wave propagation on non-flat geometries.
• Study conjugate flow solutions and solitary waves, and explore stabilization mechanisms.
• Apply numerical computation and asymptotic analysis to challenging open questions in the project.
