PHD POSITION ON TRANSITIONING PUBLIC ORGANIZATIONS FOR FUTURE-PROOF INFRASTRUCTURE

Society is facing major challenges like circularity, digitalisation and climate adaptation. These challenges have a significant impact on our built environment and the actors that operate in this field. Addressing these challenges requires a fundamental change in how public organisations operate and coordinate themselves and their relations with private parties. This PhD project aims to … Read more

POST-DOCTORAL POSITION ON LOCAL BUBBLE BEHAVIOUR IN ALKALINE ELECTROLYSIS

Within the Soft matter, Fluidics, and Interfaces (SFI) group and closely working with the Physics of Fluids (PoF) group, we have a vacancy for a post-doctoral fellow relating to numerical simulations of electrolysis at a local bubble level. Hydrogen is a recognized crucial component, required for many industrial processes such as fertilizer production. However, the … Read more

As part of the Dutch National research program Aviation in Transition, the Production Technology group at the University of Twente has a PhD position on the simulation of a novel assembly technique for thermoplastic composites in a T-joint configuration. Background and challenge Thermoplastic composite materials are considered a prime candidate for the next generation of … Read more

POSTDOCTORAL RESEARCHER REMOTE SENSING FOR UNDERSTANDING ECOSYSTEM FUNCTIONING OF TIDAL AREAS

Mudflats, with (micro)algae, salt marsh plants, and seagrasses can be found along many sheltered coasts regulated by the tides. These intertidal areas are, for example, important as feeding grounds for (wader) birds, and for reducing flooding probabilities of the hinterland. The European HE-funded project REWRITE (REWilding and Restoration of InterTidal Sediment Ecosystems for carbon sequestration, … Read more

PHD POSITION (F/M/D): ASSESSING THE INTERPLAY BETWEEN WIND FARMS AND CLOUDS

This PhD project is part of the ERC Consolidator Grant project WINDFLOW, which strives to develop groundbreaking large-eddy simulation strategies for wind farm flows. Your research will develop novel LES to investigate the interaction among clouds on wind farm performance and atmospheric transport processes. This presents an opportunity to push the boundaries of fundamental fluid … Read more
