About the position

We have a vacancy for a two-year Postdoctoral Fellow at the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering in the Marine Civil Engineering Group.

The position reports to Associate Professor Hans Bihs.

Job abstractJV_description

The topic of the position is high-resolution slope stability analysis with integrated hydrodynamic modelling. Sediment transport, local scour and the related geotechnical behavior are relevant issues for the stability of infrastructure in contact with water in the vicinity of waterways and coastal areas. Numerical modeling of sediment transport due to current and waves is a crucial part of a safe structural design as well as of understanding the geophysical processes in rivers and oceans. In order to represent the physics of sediment transport more accurately, the current positions aims at implementing a particle based sediment transport algorithm built on the material point method into the open-source hydrodynamics model REEF3D (www.reef3d.com. The model is developed in-house and the candidate will be part of the code developing team.

Qualification requirements

The position requires good programming skills in C , possibly experience with parallelized high-performance codes. A good understanding of the underlying physics, such as the geotechnical behavior of the sediments, flow through porous media, fluid mechanics and/or wave hydrodynamics is expected. Further, the candidate should have strong interest/knowledge in scientific computing, numerical modeling and in applying computational mathematics for interdisciplinary engineering problems. Experience with the material point method and/or computational fluid dynamics solvers is advantageous.

Postdoctoral fellow:

A postdoctoral research fellowships is a qualification position in which the main objective is qualification for work in academic positions. Completion of a Norwegian doctoral degree in hydraulic, coastal, marine or geotechnical engineering or corresponding foreign doctoral degree recognized as equivalent to a Norwegian doctoral degree is required.

The appointment is to be made in accordance with the regulations in force concerning State Employees and Civil Servants and national guidelines for appointment as PhD, postdoctor and research assistant

Other qualifications

• Proficiency in Python or Matlab
• Good written and oral English and Norwegian language skills

Personal characteristics

• High motivation for research and code development

• Ability to solve research questions independently as well as in a team with a high level of personal responsibility

• Open to learn and discover new research areas

In the evaluation of which candidate is best qualified, emphasis will be placed on education, experience and personal suitability, as well as motivation, in terms of the qualification requirements specified in the advertisement

We offer

• exciting and stimulating tasks in a strong international academic environment
• an open and inclusive work environment with dedicated colleagues
• favourable terms in the Norwegian Public Service Pension Fund
• employee benefits

Salary and conditions

Postdoc:
Postdoctoral candidates are remunerated in code 1352, and are normally remunerated at gross from NOK 515 200 before tax per year. From the salary, 2 % is deducted as a contribution to the Norwegian Public Service Pension Fund.

Appointment takes place on the terms that apply to State employees at any time, and after the appointment you must assume that there may be changes in the area of work.
