PhD Researcher in Computational Snow Physics
vor 3 Wochen
The project aims to develop a versatile snow metamorphism model based on the phase-field methodology and couple it to radiative transfer models. This model will be used to predict close to isothermal snow metamorphism, taking into account intergranular and grain-boundary forces. The researcher will formulate a phase-field model, parametrize it to represent ice physics accurately, and perform sensitivity analyses to determine dominant driving forces.
The successful candidate will contribute to the overarching project goals by collaborating within the 3-person project team and the partner institutes. They will also contribute to teaching and tutoring at OST or EPFL in the context of the doctoral school.
We offer an independent job that offers both scope for personal initiative and the opportunity to exchange ideas with committed colleagues. The workplace is located on the shore of lake Zurich and in immediate vicinity of the Rapperswil train station and historic town.
Your Responsibilities:- Formulate a phase-field model that can predict close to isothermal snow metamorphism.
- Parametrize the model to represent ice physics as accurately as possible.
- Perform sensitivity analyses to determine dominant driving forces.
- Apply the model to small snow samples obtained from μ-CT and confront modeling results with existing measurement series.
- Contribute to the overarching project goals by collaborating within the 3-person project team and the partner institutes.
- Contribute to teaching and tutoring at OST or EPFL in the context of the doctoral school.
- Masters degree in physics, materials science, applied mathematics or equivalent.
- Strong background in and flair for 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 multi-lingual environment and to collaborate with national and international partners.
- Motivation to work at the interface between fundamental and applied sciences.
- An independent job that offers both scope for personal initiative and the opportunity 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.
