PhD position in Planetary Core Dynamics
vor 19 Stunden
The Earth and Planetary Magnetism Group (EPM) invites applications to undertake a PhD on the hydrodynamics of planetary cores and subsurface oceans in the presence of topography at the boundary.
Project backgroundThis project aims to investigate the effects of topography on the fluid dynamics of deep fluid layers under the influence of rapid planetary rotation. In particular, we aim to understand the resulting flows near the topography and investigate how perturbations are radiated into the fluid. Ultimately, this will enable us to assess the resulting torque and energy dissipation within the fluid layer, two key parameters for understanding the orbital dynamics and the evolution of planets as a whole.
The successful candidate will run numerical models and lab experiments to simulate fluid flow over topography in a rapidly rotating environment. The experimental part of the project will be performed on a rotating platform in the Flow lab of the EPM group, and Velocimetry measurements using Particle Image Velocimetry and Ultrasonic Doppler Velocimetry will allow us to quantitatively assess the flow in the vicinity of the 3D-printed topography. The lab results will be complemented by time-resolved 3D velocity fields from numerical simulations of the flow using the spectral element code Nek.
Profile- Applicants should hold a MSc in geophysics, physics, or engineering, ideally with a MSc thesis in fluid dynamics or any related field.
- Experience with lab work and/or numerical simulations is a great advantage.
- Sound knowledge of the English language, both oral and written.
You can look forward to a friendly and dynamic working environment and the opportunity to advance your scientific career at a leading academic institution in the field of Earth and Planetary Science. Zurich is a diverse city with a high quality of life and frequently ranked amongst the world's most liveable cities.
In line with our values, ETH Zurich encourages an inclusive culture. We promote equality of opportunity, value diversity, and nurture a working and learning environment in which the rights and dignity of all our staff and students are respected.
Curious? So are we.We look forward to receiving your online application with the following documents:
- CV
- Contact information of two references (no recommendation letters required at this point).
Please note that we exclusively accept applications submitted through our online application portal. Applications via email or postal services will not be considered.
