Job Description

This position supports Work Package 1 (WP1) experimental studies of wave overtopping over Singapore-relevant coastal protection structures for local design guidance.

The successful candidate will be required to:

• Conduct scaled physical model tests at NUS for revetments, promenades, and vertical walls.
• Measure and analyse q, Vmax, flow depth/velocity, crest pressures, and related loads; quantify uncertainty; and derive local empirical relationships aligned with Eurotop. 
• Support WP1 reports/publications and provide validation data and hydraulic inputs to other work packages.
 

Job Requirements

•   Possess a PhD in Coastal Engineering, Ocean Engineering, Civil Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or a closely related discipline.
•   Strong background in physical modelling of coastal/free-surface flows or wave-structure interaction
•   Experience with hydraulic laboratory experiments, instrumentation, and data analysis
•   Proficiency in Python, MATLAB, or similar; prior wave overtopping/coastal structures experience is advantageous
•   Has prior strong publication records and able to work independently. 
•   Excellent written and verbal communication skills.
•   Open to fixed-term contract.
