Doctoral and postdoctoral positions - Flood risk modelling

[Elsa Incio]

Dear Colleagues,

 

The research group Hydraulics in Environmental & Civil Engineering (HECE) is offering doctoral and/or postdoctoral positions for conducting research related to modelling flood risk and cascading effects, in the framework of an international project co-funded by the EU.

 

Two positions are available, each of them primarily focused on one of the two topics below.

1. Modelling the monetary damages of riverine floods across various societal sectors: design and implementation of surveys, analysis of existing and newly collected data, model development (incl. machine-learning techniques) and validation (based on data from the 2021 European mega-flood), application to real-world case studies in Belgium and Germany based on 2D hydrodynamic modelling outcomes.
2. Modelling the hydrodynamic effects of bridge clogging by floating debris: analysis of existing field data and laboratory observations, site monitoring, development of process-based models, model testing and coupling with an operational 2D hydrodynamic model, application to real-world case studies in Belgium and Germany.

 

Both positions are open either to a doctoral candidate (PhD position) or to a PhD-holder (post-doc position).
