Utrecht, Utrecht, Nederland Universiteit Utrecht Voltijd
About the Job

We are seeking a highly motivated PhD researcher to investigate sedimentation enhancing strategies for coastal delta adaptation. The successful candidate will be part of a unique project that aims to explore the potential of sedimentation for adaptation in deltas around the world.

The PhD researcher will investigate the effectiveness of sediment management strategies for adaptation, as well as assess global delta sediment needs and deficits under relative sea-level rise scenarios. The project will involve developing a generic numerical model to evaluate sedimentation management and exploring the potential for sediment management to support other adaptation measures as part of pathways towards adaptation strategies.

About the Department

The Department of Physical Geography at Universiteit Utrecht is a lively and international community that excels in research and education on BSc, MSc, and PhD levels. We research processes, patterns, and dynamics of Earth's systems from the mountains to the sea, and the interaction in between. This knowledge is essential for the sustainable management of our planet and to guarantee the availability of resources for the next generations.

About the Position

We offer a position for one year, with an extension to a total of four years upon a successful assessment in the first year.
