Job Title: PhD Researcher in Offshore Infrastructure Resilience

The University of Twente is seeking a highly motivated and enthusiastic PhD researcher to join our dynamic team in the POSEIDON project. This innovative project, part of the prestigious EU Horizon 2020 Marie Sklodowska-Curie Actions, aims to improve offshore infrastructure resilience against geohazards in a changing climate.

About the Project

POSEIDON brings together 16 beneficiaries and partners from seven European countries, encompassing a comprehensive spectrum of training in both scientific and transferable skills. The project's mission is to conduct fundamental, multidisciplinary, and multisectoral research across various functional and operational scales, focusing on understanding the complexities and nuances in current offshore critical infrastructure designs.

About the Role
  • Hold, or be close to completing, a Master's degree in Civil Engineering, Geophysics, Geology, Geotechnics, Earth Sciences, Applied Mathematics, or a related field.
  • Possess programming skills, which would be a significant advantage.
  • Be excellent team players, ready to engage in an enthusiastic and hardworking group of scientists and engineers on a joint project.
  • Demonstrate a creative mindset, a passion for pushing boundaries, and high motivation.
  • Show proficiency in both written and spoken English, with excellent communication skills, to fully benefit from the network training.
  • Be capable of collaborating intensively with both industrial and academic partners through regular meetings and work visits, and enjoy working in an interdisciplinary and international environment.
  • Adhere to MSCA project mobility rules: At the time of selection, candidates must not have resided or carried out their main activities (work, studies) in the host institution's country for more than 12 months in the 3 years immediately before recruitment.
  • Be a doctoral candidate at the date of recruitment (i.e., not already in possession of a doctoral degree). Those who have successfully defended their doctoral thesis but have not yet formally been awarded the doctoral degree are not eligible.
Our Offer
  • The details of the offer are in line with the MSCA Work Program related to Eligibility, Benefits, and Salary.
  • A full-time position for four or three years, depending on the host institution.
  • The candidate must be working exclusively for the action. Each student will benefit from a wide-ranging training between universities, research centers, and industry that will take advantage of both local and network-wide activities.

The conditions below apply to the vacancy at the University of Twente:

  • Our salary and associated conditions are in accordance with the collective labor agreement for Dutch universities (CAO-NU).
  • You will receive a gross monthly salary ranging from € 2770,- (first year) to € 3539,- (fourth year).
  • A minimum of 232 leave hours in case of full-time employment based on a formal workweek of 38 hours. A full-time employment in practice means 40 hours a week, therefore resulting in 96 extra leave hours on an annual basis.
  • Free access to sports facilities on campus.
  • A family-friendly institution that offers parental leave (both paid and unpaid).
  • You will have a training program as part of the Twente Graduate School where you and your supervisors will determine a plan for a suitable education and supervision.
