University of Aberdeen, School of Engineering is offering
research position for Early Stage Researcher or PhD student. This post
is a part of the Marie Curie Initial Training Network
“Hydrodynamic Transport at Ecologically Critical Heterogeneous
Interfaces” (HYTECH). The candidate will be required to register for a
doctoral degree and will be expected to complete the requirements of the
degree within the 36 month duration of the project.
About Scholarship: This post is a part of the Marie Curie Initial Training Network “Hydrodynamic Transport at Ecologically Critical Heterogeneous Interfaces” (HYTECH). The candidate will be required to register for a Doctoral degree and will be expected to complete the requirements of the degree within the 36 month duration of the project.
An appointee will work on the development of the theoretical frameworks for integration of physical interactions between flow and biota (e.g., vegetation, bed mussels). Spatially averaged hydrodynamic and biomechanical equations, which couple flow and organisms together through a rigorous spatial averaging operation, will be explored among other approaches. Such equations can be formulated for both fluid and organisms, which are coupled through interface terms describing physical interactions and/or exchange of substances.
Key project goals include: (1) development of the unifying framework for coupling flow and biota and upscaling from the organism scale to the river reach scale; and (2) test of the developed frameworks and techniques for the case of vegetated beds and mussel beds.

Course Level: This position is for pursuing PhD research level. The candidate will be required to register for a Doctoral degree and will be expected to complete the requirements of the degree within the 36 month duration of the project.
Scholarship by: University of Aberdeen Early Stage Researcher/PhD Student. This post is funded by the European Commission’s Marie Curie Actions
Location: UK
Eligibility: -Applicants must meet Marie Curie eligibility criteria and must not have lived in the UK for more than 12 months in the past 3 years.
- Bachelor or Master Degree in engineering, environmental science, physics, or applied mathematics
-Fundamentals of fluid mechanics, turbulence theories, mechanics of materials, ecology Flow-biota interactions concepts and theories
-Statistics and advanced calculus
-Programming skills using Matlab
-High-quality writing of research reports and publications
-Ability and willingness to work in a multidisciplinary research environment, to work on own or within a team. Good written and oral communication skills.

Scholarship Open for: International students can apply for this position.
Number of award: One PhD position
Duration: 36 months
Value: Salary will be £32,570 per annum plus £600 monthly mobility allowance if single status, or £857 if married or dependants. All benefits are provided according to the Marie Curie policy (FP7-PEOPLE-2012-ITN).
