Key Responsibilities
- We are seeking a highly motivated and experienced Senior Scientist to lead and contribute to cutting-edge research and development projects in coastal protection.
- The successful candidate will be responsible for advanced modelling of hydrodynamics, flow-structure and flow-vegetation interactions, and sediment transport processes through a combination of large-scale physical experiments and numerical simulation techniques.
- This work will play an important role in supporting sustainable, climate-resilient coastal development.
- Lead and support large-scale physical modelling projects focused on coastal protection, encompassing hard infrastructure, nature-based solutions, and green-grey hybrid measures.
- Conduct numerical simulations using open-source CFD software (e.g., OpenFOAM) and commercial modelling tools to simulate coastal processes and support the development of effective coastal protection strategies.
- Participate in field studies and collaborate with multidisciplinary teams to monitor and evaluate the performance of coastal protection solutions from both engineering and ecological perspectives.
Requirements
- PhD in Civil Engineering, Coastal Engineering, Ocean Engineering, or a related discipline.
- Minimum 6 years of research or industry experience in coastal engineering or related fields.
- Demonstrated expertise in the modelling of flow-structure interaction, flow-vegetation interaction and/or sediment transport processes
- Experience with physics-informed machine learning approaches is an advantage.
- Proven ability to work independently and within collaborative teams.
- Strong problem-solving skills and resourcefulness in addressing complex technical challenges.
