Key Responsibilities

  • Lead and support large-scale physical modelling projects focused on coastal protection, including hard infrastructure, nature-based solutions, and green-grey hybrid measures.
  • Conduct numerical simulations using open-source CFD software and commercial modelling tools to simulate coastal processes and support effective protection strategies.
  • Participate in field studies and collaborate with multidisciplinary teams to monitor and evaluate coastal protection solutions from engineering and ecological perspectives.
  • Support structural and geotechnical assessments to evaluate the stability of coastal protection systems.
  • Integrate artificial intelligence (AI) tools into modelling workflows to enhance predictive capabilities, solution optimization, and computational efficiency.
  • Manage projects effectively, ensuring alignment with timelines, budgets, and stakeholder expectations including grantors and industry partners.
  • Prepare and deliver technical reports, scientific publications, and presentations to internal and external stakeholders.

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.
  • Proven ability to work independently and within collaborative teams.
  • Strong problem-solving skills and resourcefulness in addressing complex technical challenges.
  • Ability to manage tasks within defined timelines and budgets.
  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with experience in stakeholder engagement and technical documentation.
