Environment, Land and Infrastructure Engineering Organisation / Company: Politecnico di Torino Department: Environment, Land and Infrastructure Engineering Research Field: Environmental science » Earth science Engineering » Mechanical engineering Physics » Computational physics Researcher Profile: First Stage Researcher (R1) Positions: PhD Positions Country: Italy Application Deadline: 31 Jan 2025 - 23:59 (Europe / Rome) Type of Contract: Temporary Job Status: Full-time Offer Starting Date: 1 Mar 2025 Funding: Horizon Europe - MSCA Marie Curie Grant Agreement Number 101168614 Offer Description: A 3-years PhD position is available in the framework of the Marie Sklodowska-Curie Doctoral Network FluxBEATS. This doctoral project (DC10) focuses on numerical modelling of hydrothermal plumes in the ocean using methods of Computational Fluid Dynamics. The candidate will simulate a buoyant plume in a stratified fluid adding crossflows to mimic oceanic flows. Large Eddy Simulations is a preferable instrument to study the dynamics of a geophysical turbulent flow at any point in three dimensions. Changes in scalar concentration will also be tracked, to add chemical reactions in the plume dispersal and study the sedimentation of different chemical compounds. The ideal candidate should have a strong interest in fundamental research in geophysical fluid dynamics and geochemistry. Supervisors from the University of Helsinki (Finland) and the University of Bremen (Germany) are involved in the project, and secondments of 1 month in Finland and 2 months in Germany are planned during the PhD, as well as participation in conferences and several training events. Requirements: Education Level: Master Degree or equivalent Skills / Qualifications: We are looking for a motivated applicant with a Master's degree (or equivalent) in geosciences, mechanical and environmental engineering, or an associated field, proficient knowledge of English, and strong motivation for mobility in Europe. Previous relevant experience and/or familiarity with different analytical methods, knowledge of the local language, and existing peer-reviewed publications are a merit. Specific Requirements: Good knowledge of programming languages such as Python, C, and Matlab. Some knowledge of fluid dynamics and numerical methods for fluid mechanics. Very good knowledge of English (both written and oral). Highly motivated, autonomous, and willing to collaborate with academic partners of different backgrounds. Languages: ENGLISH Level Good Additional Information: The candidate will benefit from a gross salary equal to €46, 939. 20 per annum or €54, 859. 20 per annum in case of family allowance. The net amount will be communicated in 2025 - in case of interview - due to Italian national tax changes. The salary is provided in 12 months. She/he will conduct research in recognized international teams, will attend all the common training events of the Network (PhD schools, workshops, and convened sessions at international conferences) and will be in contact with other doctoral candidates of the network working on similar topics and with other FluxBEATS partners. Transferable-skill training will be provided as part of the doctoral programme. Eligibility criteria: Applicants must not have resided or carried out their main activity (e. g. , work, studies) in Italy for more than 12 months in the 36 months immediately before the recruitment date POLITO, which is 01. 03. 2025 (offer starting date). Successful applicants must relocate to Italy by the time of recruitment. To be eligible for a PhD at Politecnico di Torino, the applicant is bound to have the following requirements by October 31, 2025: A Master of Science degree (i. e. , 2nd level title, as defined by the Bologna Process), issued by an officially recognized academic institution. Certificate of English language knowledge: level B2 (valid regardless of the conferral date) as defined by the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR). Selection process: The candidates will be evaluated based on their resumes and on an interview, either in person or by telematic means. In order to apply, candidates are required to provide the following documents to the email address luca. brandtpolito. it: FluxBEATS Eligibility and mobility declaration; FluxBEATS Motivation letter outlining applicants' research experience, interests, motivation, and personal assessment of suitability for a given position; The application templates on the FluxBEATS website must be carefully filled out and attached to the application. Additional comments: According to the system of the Politecnico di Torino, all doctoral researchers belong to a doctoral programme. The successful candidate should apply to the Doctoral Programme in Civil and Environmental Engineering. The Length of the PhD Programme is 3 years procedure for the final exam. Minimum Requirements for getting the PhD title (valid for the academic year 2024/2025): 100 hours of hard skills courses, 40 hours of hard skills courses, One publication, Positive evaluation by the Academic Board at the end of each year.
