PhD Researcher in Granular Physics and Continuum Mechanics

About the Position

We are seeking a highly motivated and skilled PhD researcher to join our team at the University of Twente. The successful candidate will work on a novel, unified constitutive model for saturated granular fluids and solids, as part of the EU-funded Marie Curie Doctoral Network POSEIDON.

Background and Objectives

Submarine landslides involve complex geomechanical processes at multiple length and time scales. The yielding transition from static to motion is governed by spatially and/or temporally varying length scales, creating difficulty in predicting initiation and post-failure behavior. The current frameworks for modeling soil-fluid interactions need to be revised and improved.

Key Responsibilities
  • Develop a unified constitutive model for saturated granular fluids and solids
  • Implement the model in a continuum solver to predict runout distance of submarine landslides
  • Collaborate with industrial and academic partners in regular meetings and work visits
Requirements
  • MSc degree in a relevant field such as civil engineering, mechanical engineering, computational physics, applied mathematics, materials science, or related areas
  • Good knowledge of transport and constitutive behavior of fluid-saturated sediments
  • Sound programming skills in C/C++, Fortran, Python, or equivalent
  • Previous experience with rheological or plasticity laws for constitutive modeling of sediments is advantageous
What We Offer
  • A full-time 4-year PhD position with excellent mentorship and a stimulating research environment
  • Collaborations with a dedicated, dynamic research team and external parties from several European countries involved in the POSEIDON project
  • A gross monthly salary ranging from € 2.770,00 (first year), increasing each year up to € 3.539,00 in the fourth year
