Coastal Dynamics Research Fellow: Sediment Transport

Nanyang Technological University; Singapore; Vor Ort; SGD 60.000 - 90.000; Vollzeit

Zusammenfassung

The Earth Observatory of Singapore (EOS) at NTU Singapore invites applications for the position of Research Fellow to join a new project on coastal dynamics and sediment transport. The successful candidate will work within an international, multi-institutional team to advance our understanding of sediment budgets and coastal change under climate scenarios.

The fellow will develop hydrodynamic and sediment transport models, conduct field measurements in Singapore’s coastal environments, and

Qualifikationen

• PhD in Oceanography, Sediment Dynamics, Ocean Engineering, Environmental Engineering, or closely related geosciences.
• Strong background in hydrodynamic and sediment transport modelling.
• Experience with field measurements in coastal-marine environments is desirable.
• Proficiency in Python, MATLAB, or similar programming / data-analysis tools; AI/ML knowledge advantageous.

Aufgaben

• Develop hydrodynamic and sediment transport models for fluvial-marine systems, including river channels, intertidal mangrove and mudflat areas and adjacent subtidal environments.
• Conduct and analyse field measurements of flow conditions, turbulence, seabed and water sedimentology and related environmental parameters in Singapore’s coastal and marine environments.
• Quantify relationships between hydrodynamic intensity and sediment erosion/flux/deposition patterns using field measurements and modelling data.
• Support the development of physics-based models to predict sediment source-to-sink pathways and spatial variations in sediment erosion and accretion rates and capacities (sediment budget) in fluvial to shallow marine environments.
• Integrate hydrodynamic/sediment transport modelling outputs with sedimentology, geochemistry, and other relevant datasets (e.g., satellite images) generated by the broader project team.
• Prepare technical reports, peer-reviewed publications, presentations, and project deliverables.
• Maintain efficient data collection to ensure accuracy and completeness of data and preparation of the Data Management Plan for annual submission.
• Engage in the dissemination of the results of the research with the support of and under the supervision of the Principal Investigator.
