6 month Engineer position Stochastic modelling and numerical simulation of coupled oceanic flow, small-scale dynamics, wave-current interaction

Implement and assess coupled stochastic variational models of ocean circulation within the ERC STUOD project and Odyssey team. The research uses modelling under location uncertainty to represent unresolved flow dynamics while retaining physically justified properties. Numerical experiments will examine coupled ocean flows, small-scale dynamics and wave-current interactions in idealized settings. Required background includes applied mathematics, fluid dynamics, stochastic parameterization, Fortran, Python and PyTorch.

Appointment: 6 months; advertised start 2026-12-01. Starting from €2,695 gross per month, based on your experience.

PhD or equivalent. Applicants may require authorization for access to a restricted research area (ZRR).
