PhD position
There is a vacancy for a PhD Research Fellow in applied and computational mathematics in the sub-field of fluid mechanics at the Department of Mathematics . The position is for a fixed-term period of 3 years with the possibility of a 4th year with compulsory other work (e.g. teaching duties at the Department). The position is funded by the University of Bergen.
About the project/work tasks:
The topic is fundamental fluid mechanics, best suited for a candidate with a background in fundamental (rather than industrial) topics in applied mathematics, oceanography, or mechanical (coastal/ocean) engineering. The detailed topic deals with the physics-oriented theoretical/numerical modelling of a complex system; for instance, the coupling between nonlinear surface waves and shear currents, or fluid and structure (e.g., floating ice, microplastics, or the next generation offshore wind turbines) interaction. Which specific sub-field topic will depend on the candidate’s qualifications and interests and be decided together with the supervisor. The methodology for the specific topic in the sub-field will be a mix of theoretical work and numerical modelling, see, e.g., Li (2023, J. Fluid Mech., Vol.960, A33 ), Xin et al. (Coast. Eng., Vol.183, 104304 ), or Li & Chabchoub (2024, Geophys. Res. Lett., 10.1029/2023GL107381).
The successful candidate will be part of a broader research team focussing on their overall topic. The Fluid Mechanics Group is internationally excellent with a cutting-edge team of researchers from many branches of fluid mechanics. The candidate will be part of a vibrant scientific environment.
Qualifications and personal qualities:
Personal and relational qualities will be emphasized. Ambitions and potential will also count when evaluating the candidates.
Special requirements for the position
The University of Bergen is subjected to the regulation for export control system. The regulation will be applied in the processing of the applications.
About the PhD Research Fellow position:
The fellowship will be for a period of 3 years, with the possibility for a 4th year, consisting of 25 % compulsory work (e.g. teaching responsibilities at the department) distributed over the employment period. The 4th year is contingent on the qualifications of the candidate and the teaching needs of the department and will be decided by the head of department upon appointment.
The employment period may be reduced if you have previously been employed in a qualifying post (e.g. research fellow, research assistant).
About the research training
As a PhD Research Fellow, you must participate in an approved educational programme for a PhD degree within a period of 3 years. The deadline for applying for admission to the PhD programme at The Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences is 2 months after you start your position or after the start of the research project that will lead to the PhD degree. It is a condition that you satisfy the enrolment requirements for the PhD programme at the University of Bergen.

Your application must include:
The application and appendices with certified translations into English or a Scandinavian language must be uploaded at Jobbnorge.
