PhD Position in Dynamics and Environmental: Join us in a fully funded PhD project at TU Delft to merge Delft3D simulations with global datasets and contribute to the understanding of estuarine dynamics and environmental changes.
Fully Funded PhD Position in Estuarine Dynamics and Environmental Changes
Designation: PhD Candidate
Research Area: Estuarine dynamics, environmental changes, Delft3D simulations, global datasets
Location: TU Delft, Delft University of Technology, Netherlands
Eligibility/Qualification:
- Must hold a Master’s degree in Earth Science, Physical Geography, Civil Engineering, Geology, or other relevant discipline
