PhD Coastal Squeezing Dynamics and Solutions
**Faculty/Services**:Faculty of Science**Educational level**:Master**Function type**:PhD position**Closing date**:6 January 2025**Vacancy number**:13582- Do you want to work in an interdisciplinary team to help understand the complex natural and social dynamics involved in coastal squeezing in order to generate innovative coastal management solutions? Then this PhD position might be for you**About the position**
- This PhD project aims to advance fundamental understanding of the complex dynamics and the interdependencies of the physical, ecological, and political components involved in “coastal squeezing” (i.e., when natural and anthropogenic pressures, from both seaward and landward directions, restrict coastal areas). Coastal squeezing, both within the Netherlands and around the world, threatens the resilience and increases the vulnerability of coastal communities and coastal ecology. Addressing these impacts on coastal systems requires a multidisciplinary approach.- The work of the PhD can range from analyzing and modeling coastal morphodynamics, identifying creative and effective intervention strategies, assessing their political feasibility and ethical desirability, and engaging local stakeholders. The project will be jointly supervised by a coastal morphologist and a climate ethicist, and will engage with a wider interdisciplinary network at the Institute for Biodiversity and Ecosystem Dynamics (IBED) and across the Netherlands. The PhD will be encouraged to help shape the project in accordance with their own vision and expertise.**What are you going to do?**Tasks and responsibilities**:
- Conduct independent, fundamental, interdisciplinary research leading to a Ph.D. thesis within the official appointment duration of four years
- Engage robustly with coastal communities, policymakers, and other stakeholders
- Build international network and exchange findings at relevant conferences and workshops
- Actively participate in departmental life (attend meetings, seminars, workshops, etc.)
- Contribute to education programs within the faculty (about 10% of your time)
**Your profile**
- We are looking for someone, preferably with a background in natural sciences, who is motivated to address big challenges, is willing to think creatively, and possess a natural curiosity to unravel nature’s dynamics. You should value being part of a team, and look for opportunities to help co-create the team dynamic, while also being able to work independently. Given the multidisciplinary nature of the project, it is important that you can communicate effectively in academic and non-academic settings. While we do not expect you to have specific training in ethics, politics, or economics, you should have the willingness to gain knowledge in these fields and appreciate the importance of integrating insights from them with the natural sciences.**Your experience and profile**:
- MSc in Earth Sciences (Geomorphology, Hydrodynamics, Coastal System Management, Physics, or related background) or, alternatively, a MSc in Ethics, Politics, Political Economy, Political Ecology, or similar, with a keen interest in learning about Earth sciences and coastal system science.
- Experience with and/or interest in working with process-based numerical models, preferably with morphodynamic or hydrodynamic models, or the willingness to learn.
- Affinity with or interest in scientific computer programming (e.g., R, Matlab, Python)
- Strong interest in interdisciplinary and stakeholder collaboration
- Interest in values-based policy/management decisions
- Professional command of English (knowledge of Dutch is a plus, but not required)
**Our offer**
- A temporary contract for 38 hours per week for the duration of 4 years (the initial contract will be for a period of 18 months and after satisfactory evaluation it will be extended for a total duration of 4 years). The preferred starting date is as soon as possible, in mutual agreement, preferably by March. This should lead to a dissertation (PhD thesis). We will draft an educational plan that includes attendance of courses and (international) meetings. We also expect you to assist in teaching undergraduates and master students.- For this position the University Job Classification profile “Promovendus” (PhD student) applies. Your salary will be €2,872 gross per month in the first year and will increase to €3,670 in the final year, based on full-time employment of 38 hours per week. This does not include 8% holiday allowance and 8,3% year-end allowance.- Besides the salary and a vibrant and challenging environment at Science Park we offer you multiple fringe benefits:
- 232 holiday hours per year (based on fulltime) and extra holidays between Christmas and 1 January;
- multiple courses to follow from our Teaching and Learning Centre;
- a complete educational program for PhD students;
- multiple courses on topics such as leadership for academ
