PhD in Environmental Engineering

The Department of Earth Sciences at Utrecht University seeks a PhD candidate for the project 'Upscaling pore-scale behaviour of clay-interfaces in shallow groundwater systems, enabling sustainable subsurface utilisation'./nYou will develop an integrated approach combining microfluidic experiments and numerical modeling to enable upscaling from pore- to column-scale clay behaviour under conditions relevant to sustainable subsurface use. Experiments will be conducted at the Porous Media Lab facilities, part of the Utrecht GeoLab, located at Utrecht Science Park, Utrecht, Netherlands./nThe position includes a personalized training programme, professional development (approximately 20% of time), and teaching experience in the department's Bachelor's and Master's programmes.
