• Perform laboratory experiments to test the performance of flexible seawalls in flume tests.
• Conduct numerical studies using FEM software to analyze and optimize coastal protection system design.
• Write project progress reports and assist in daily project operation management.
• Publish high-quality peer-reviewed journal papers to promote international reputation.

Requirements

• PhD degree in civil engineering, coastal engineering, or ocean engineering.
• At least 1 year of experience in coastal structure foundation design and hydrodynamics analysis.
• Strong background in hydrodynamics analysis.
• Expertise in laboratory coastal structure testing.
• Proficiency in FEM software (Ansys, Abaqus, Plaxis, Comsol).
• Good written and oral communication skills.
• Excellent English proficiency for data analysis.
