Role Description

We are seeking a highly motivated and skilled researcher in the fields of coastal engineering

to join our research team. The successful candidate will contribute to applied projects

focused on the environmental impacts of coastal and offshore structures, climate change

adaptation, and marine ecosystem dynamics.

Key Responsibilities

 Conduct research on coastal and marine processes, including numerical modeling of

waves, flow, cohesive and non-cohesive sediment transport, contaminant transport,

etc.

 Design and implement numerical models.

 Analyze environmental data and prepare technical reports, presentations, and

scientific publications.

 Collaborate with engineers, designers, modelers, and external stakeholders on

multidisciplinary projects.

Qualifications

M.Sc. or Ph.D. in Coastal, Environmental, Marine, Hydraulic, Mechanical Engineering

/ Science, Oceanography, Earth Science or a related field.

 Required knowledge: fluid mechanics / hydrodynamics / aerodynamics (basic

knowledge of hydrodynamic and ocean waves theory or closed subjects with an

ability in learning new material), numerical methods (at least finite differences).

 Experience with numerical modeling of waves / flow / transport in ocean / marine

environment (e.g., MIKE, TELEMAC, Delft3D, STWAVE, XBEACH, ROMS).

 Proven experience in research, preferably in marine or coastal contexts.

 Strong analytical skills and proficiency in programming and data analysis tools (e.g.,

Fortran, MATLAB, Excel, Python, R, GIS).

 Written and verbal communication skills in English.

 Ability to work independently and as part of a multidisciplinary team.

Preferred Qualifications

•  Publication record in peer-reviewed journals.
