Post-doc in The Environmental Fluid Merchanics
Vor 3 Tagen
**Introduction**:
UNIL is a leading international teaching and research institution, with over 5,000 employees and 17,000 students split between its Dorigny campus, CHUV and Epalinges. As an employer, UNIL encourages excellence, individual recognition and responsibility.
**Presentation**:
We are seeking a full-time post-doctoral researcher to join the Environmental Fluid Mechanics laboratory, led by Professor Pietro de Anna, at the Institute of Earth Science (University of Lausanne, Switzerland).
**Job information**:
Expected start date in position : 01.01.2026 or upon mutual agreement
Contract length : 2 years (1 year + renewal for 1 year)
Activity rate : 100 %
Workplace : Institute of Earth Sciences, Faculty of Geosciences and Environment, University of Lausanne
**Your responsibilities**:
The research will focus on 3 main axes. First, understanding the coupling between phases organization (air-water or oil-water) and the overall hydraulic properties of a porous system. Second, use particle tracking methods to simulate bacterial transport within non-saturated pores, with particular attention to the finite-size effects associated to the cells size and shape. Third, develop novel image analysis and processing for experimental particle tracking in non-saturated media. In all cases, numerical results will be contrasted with microfluidics and time-lapse video-microscopy experiments.
50 % (minimum) of the activity will be dedicated to research.
50 % (maximum) of the activity will be dedicated to contributing to some teaching activities, and the possibility of supervising master and PhD students.
**Your qualifications**:
PhD degree (or be near completion) in Physics, Mathematics, Mechanical Engineering or Civil & Environmental Engineering or related discipline. A strong background on numerical modeling for flow, transport of multi-phase fluid systems is required. Some experience on experimental fluid mechanics is desired, but not necessary (advanced training can be provided).
Excellent written and spoken English is required, working knowledge of French (the local language in Lausanne) is not necessary.
Interest in developing numerical schemes to model microfluidics based experiments to study flow and transport driven filtration and microbially-driven reactions in confined media. Commitment to research based on experimental, numerical and modeling approaches.
**What the position offers you**:
We offer a nice working place in a multicultural, diverse and dynamic academic environment. Opportunities for professional training, a lot of activities and other benefits to discover.
**Contact for further information**:
Deadline :02.10.2025
i) motivation letter (1 page describing your background, research interests and past
experience); ii) Curriculum vitae; iii) Contact information for one or two professional references.
We thank you for your understanding.
