Researcher Position in Submarine Landslide Modeling

We are seeking a highly motivated PhD researcher to join our team at the University of Twente, Netherlands, to work on a novel high-performance multi-phase material point method for modeling submarine landslides.

About the Project

This project is part of the EU-funded Marie Curie Doctoral Network POSEIDON, which aims to improve offshore infrastructure resilience against geohazards. The overarching objective is to develop solutions to improve the resilience of offshore infrastructures.

Background and Objectives

Submarine landslides involve the movement of saturated sediments down a slope, interacting with seawater and/or offshore infrastructure. The project aims to develop a novel volume-coupled formulation to consider the transport and coupling of multiple phases. The researcher will implement constitutive models for saturated sediments in fluid- and solid-like states into an existing GPU-MPM code.

Responsibilities
  • Implement constitutive models for saturated sediments in fluid- and solid-like states into an existing GPU-MPM code.
  • Develop a reduced-order model of the multi-phase system using machine learning and integrate it into the volume-coupled numerical framework.
  • Perform simulations of submarine landslides and assess their impact on offshore infrastructures.
  • Calibrate model parameters using existing experimental data and compare the model predictions with experimental data obtained from laboratory flume experiments.
Requirements
  • MSc degree in a relevant field such as civil engineering, mechanical engineering, computational physics, applied mathematics, materials science, or related areas.
  • Experience with numerical methods for solving partial differential equations.
  • Previous experience with multi-phase materials and transport phenomena and/or deep neural network solvers will be advantageous.
  • Sound programming skills in C/C++, Fortran, Python or equivalent.
  • Excellent communication and organizational skills.
What We Offer

We offer a full-time 4-year PhD-position, with excellent mentorship and a stimulating research environment. The university offers a dynamic ecosystem with enthusiastic colleagues in which internationalization is an important part of the strategic agenda.

We offer a gross monthly salary ranging from € 2.770,00 (first year), increasing each year up to € 3.539,00 in the fourth year. Salary and associated conditions are in accordance with the collective labour agreement for Dutch universities (CAO-NU).

We offer excellent fringe benefits including a holiday allowance of 8% of the gross annual salary, an end-of-year bonus of 8.3%, a solid pension scheme, free access to sports facilities and a family-friendly institution that offers parental leave (both paid and unpaid).
