Postdoctoral Researcher in Hydrodynamics, Sediment Transport and Morphological Recovery of Sand Extraction Pits

The BACI Sand Extraction project seeks a Postdoctoral Researcher to lead the analysis of hydrodynamic and morphodynamic measurements collected from a newly created sand extraction pit in the Dutch North Sea. The role involves quantifying how the pit modifies waves, currents, and sediment transport, determining mechanisms and timescales governing morphological recovery, and integrating findings with ecological recovery processes. The position offers opportunities to apply numerical models or develop data-driven approaches, collaborate with a multidisciplinary consortium, and contribute to nature-inclusive management of the North Sea. The appointment is for three years, with an anticipated start in February/March 2027.
