Wageningen University, , Netherlands

Posting: Position: PhD Position Apply before: 24 June 2021 Apply online: https://www.wur.nl/en/vacancy/PhD-researcher-Stability-of-tidal-channels.htm

I'm seeking to hire a fully-funded PhD position in the Hydrology and Quantitative Water Management Group focused on the stability of tidal channels. The aim of the project is to better understand the prerequisites for tidal river stability by studying the spatiotemporal variation in tidal channel migration across the Ganges-Brahmaputra-Meghna Delta. Idealized models for river channel migration will be extended to include the effect of tides, and used to interpret remote sensing images and data from the field.

Applicants should hold a Master’s or equivalent degree in Earth Sciences, Civil Engineering, Physics or Applied Mathematics. The candidate should have a strong interest and preferably experience in morphodynamic model development. More details can be found on this website: https://www.wur.nl/en/vacancy/PhD-researcher-Stability-of-tidal-channels.htm, where applications can be submitted. The deadline for applications is June 24.

Thanks,
Ton
