Ph.D. positions: numerical and physical modeling of nature-based solutions for coastal protection (University of Florida)

[Alberto Canestrelli]

Dear all,

I am recruiting one or two Ph.D. students at University of Florida (UF),
Department of Coastal Engineering. Anyone with interests in coastal,
estuarine, riverine hydrodynamics and eco-morphodynamics is encouraged
to apply. I am looking for highly skilled students with a strong
interest in computer modeling. Experience with physical modeling is
optional. The research will focus on two types of nature based
solutions: oyster reefs and salt marshes. I am particularly interested
in applicants with a strong background in 2D and/or 3D numerical
modelling. Experience with Delf3D or Openfoam is preferred, but any
modeling experience is welcome. The stronger applicants will be those
with strong mathematical/numerical skills, as well as good programming
skills (e.g. Fortran, C++, Matlab, Python etc.). Applicants should send
their CV to alberto.c...@essie.ufl.edu. Starting date of the
position is August 31st, 2024. The position will be open until filled.

Thank you
Best
