I am in the process of building up a research group on the topic of coastal sediment transport. If you are a current TU Delft BSc or MSc student who is interested in working together on a thesis project, check out the MSc Hydraulic Engineering page on Brightspace for ideas and shoot me an email at s.g.pearson@tudelft.nl.
Potential job opportunities (e.g., PhD or postdoc positions) will be shared on this page, as well as on the Coastal List, Academic Transfer and the TU Delft vacancy page, so keep your eyes peeled! For some general advice on applying to academic positions, see here. One quote in particular stands out: “You must come across as someone who wants *this* job rather than any job.”
PhD Opportunity: Nourishment Hydrodynamics and Sediment Transport (SOURCE)
My colleague Matthieu de Schipper and I are looking for a new PhD candidate as part of the large SOURCE research project! SOURCE stands for Sand nourishment strategies for sustainable Coastal Ecosystems. The SOURCE philosophy is that carefully planned sand nourishments now will create the required and desired resilient and dynamic multifunctional coastal landscapes of…
PhD Opportunity: Coastal Sediment Connectivity
How can we ensure that vulnerable coasts and deltas remain robust to the effects of climate change? We need to better understand how sediment moves along our coasts and deltas, and plan to do so by treating coastal systems as networks of interconnected sediment pathways. We are looking for a curious and motivated PhD candidate…
Postdoc Job Opportunity
What is the fate of nourished sand? What are the pathways of sediment on an ebb-tidal delta or in a tidal basin? What role does sediment play in the UNESCO-world heritage area of the Wadden Sea? We are looking for a curious and motivated postdoc to work with us on an exciting project here at…
