Current open position in our lab:

Postdoctoral Position in Civil & Environmental Engineering: Geospatial Analysis and hydrodynamic Modeling

The primary focus of the positions will be on computational modeling of grid size effects on channel-island connectivity and
vegetation establishment. The project will involve coupling dynamic vegetation and ANUGA to assess vegetation effects on
island inundation in deltas for varying grid sizes. This project is part of a collaboration between researchers at LSU and ETH
Zürich.

Start Date: November 2025

Qualifications:

• PhD in Civil Engineering, Environmental Engineering, Geophysics, Coastal Sciences, or a related field.
• Strong background in hydrodynamic processes and/or geospatial analysis.
• Experience with geospatial or numerical modeling tools (e.g., ANUGA, ArcGIS, etc.).
• Proficiency in Python, MATLAB, or similar programming languages for data processing and model development.
• Familiarity with coastal biophysical processes is highly desirable.
• Strong analytical skills and the ability to work in a team and independently.
