The challenge

The societal and natural pressures (e.g. climate change) on the rivers and riverine environment are increasing and become increasingly complex to manage, in particular regarding flood risk. Understanding impact of multiple human activities on hydraulics and morphodynamic developments hence is one of the main challenges we face. Dike management focuses on strength of the dike taking the river water levels as boundary conditions This PD project aims at determining the combined effect of river management and dike design to enable robust, ecologically friendly and cheaper solutions. To further strengthen our group we are looking for a postdoctoral researcher with expertise in process- based modelling of river hydraulics, river flood predictions and hydrodynamic aspects of flood resilient landscapes (floodplains and foreshores). Knowledge of dike stability processes and river morphodynamics is advantageous. This postdoc will be responsible for helping the UT-staff in leading the case Rhine river and the research line flood resilient landscapes in the NWO-funded perspective program Future Flood Risk Management Technologies for river and coasts , in which 4 universities and over 30 industry/governmental partners collaborate.

Teaching: The new Postdoc will be invited to assist in teaching tasks of the group, e.g. supervising practical classes in the BSc course in Fluid Dynamics, the MSc courses in river dynamics, Building with Nature and/or the MSc Hydraulic modelling course. (S)he will also supervise graduation projects at BSc and MSc level. The total teaching load will be at max 10%.

Research : We are looking for an independent researcher who is able to identify the academic questions in practical applications related to marine dynamics and vice versa: to translate academic research results into engineering practice. Publishing on these subjects in scientific journals, as well as presenting them on conferences and in user meetings, is a logical part of the research.

General: The candidate has a successful track record in (numerical) modelling of river dynamics and applicable modelling techniques. We look for a person who is enthusiastic about working in a team of academics, and who feels committed to teaching (in the BSc and MSc programmes in Civil Engineering and Management) and to supervising junior researchers. The candidate has excellent writing skills and is capable and willing to maintain good (national and international) contacts with consultants, knowledge institutes and the government.
