Job summary

Delft University of Technology (TU Delft) seeks a postdoctoral researcher to lead the analysis of hydrodynamic and morphodynamic measurements from an offshore sand extraction pit. The project uses BACI-style field data to understand how waves, currents, and sediment transport drive ecological recovery and morphological change in the North Sea.

Based at TU Delft, you will interact with a multidisciplinary consortium.

Qualifications

• PhD required in a closely related field as listed.
• Strong quantitative skills and programming experience preferred.
• Demonstrated experience in analysis of hydrodynamic/morphodynamic data.
• Enthusiasm for interdisciplinary research and collaboration.

Responsibilities

• Lead analysis of hydrodynamic and morphodynamic measurements from instrumented frames.
• Quantify how sand extraction pits affect waves, currents and sediment transport.
• Develop or apply numerical models or data-driven approaches to interpret field data.
• Collaborate with ecological work package to integrate physical and ecological analyses.

Education

PhD in Hydraulic Engineering, Physical Oceanography, Physical Geography, Marine Science, or related field
