PhD Researcher in Snow Physics Modeling
vor 3 Wochen
Project Overview
The project focuses on developing a versatile snow metamorphism model based on the phase-field methodology. This model will be coupled with radiative transfer models to improve the understanding of snow processes and their impact on large-scale properties.
Your Responsibilities
- Formulate a phase-field model to predict close to isothermal snow metamorphism, considering intergranular and grain-boundary forces.
- Parametrize the model to represent ice physics accurately or calibrate parameters using available experimental data.
- Perform sensitivity analyses to determine dominant driving forces and identify model simplifications.
- Apply the model to small snow samples obtained from ?-CT and confront modeling results with existing measurement series.
- Collaborate within the project team and partner institutes to contribute to the overarching project goals.
- Contribute to teaching and tutoring at OST or EPFL in the context of the doctoral school.
Your Qualifications
- Masters degree in physics, materials science, applied mathematics, or equivalent.
- Strong background in mathematical modeling and numerical simulation.
- Interest in small-scale processes and their impact on large-scale properties, ideally linked to snow or other porous materials.
- Eager to work in a multi-disciplinary context and collaborate with national and international partners.
- Motivation to work at the interface between fundamental and applied sciences.
What We Offer
- An independent job with scope for personal initiative and opportunities to exchange ideas with committed colleagues.
- A family environment at an applied sciences university with attractive employment conditions.
- Collaboration opportunities with SLF Davos, EPFL, and École Polytechnique Paris.
- An attractive workplace on the shore of lake Zurich and in immediate vicinity of the Rapperswil train station and historic town.
