The Hydrology and Quantitative Water Management group at Wageningen University & Research is looking for an Assistant Professor (Tenure Track) of Computational Fluid Dynamics. The group aims to contribute to understanding hydrological processes for improved water management through developing measurement, modelling and prediction techniques, working at a range of spatial and temporal scales, with a focus on river basins and deltas. The successful candidate is expected to establish an internationally leading research team on the subject of Computational Fluid Dynamics, to advance numerical models capable of simulating the pickup and transport of mixtures of sand, silt and clay. Such models are needed to predict levels of turbidity, siltation and erosion under salt and sediment stratified conditions in rivers and estuaries, and to design sustainable river and delta landscapes that are robust against sealevel rise and extreme river discharges. The assistant professor will develop and test new parameterizations to adequately represent the key processes governing sediment transport in the sand to mud transition zone. The selected candidate will contribute to the chair group’s teaching programme in hydrology and quantitative water management at all academic levels (BSc, MSc, PhD), including its further development, and should be able to demonstrate potential to attract research funding at the national and international level. In addition, the new staff member will have to contribute to the day-to-day operations of the chair group.
