Management Technologies (1.0 FTE)
Job description The Department of Physical Geography at Utrecht University (UU) and the Royal Netherlands Institute for Sea Research (NIOZ) are seeking a PhD candidate for Future FRM Tech. In this programme we study future flood risk management technology for the Dutch rivers, estuaries and coasts. Adequate protection against flooding is essential for the existence of the Netherlands. There is a very large challenge to reinforce the current flood defence systems in our densely populated country, while also adapting them to deal with the effects of a changing climate. We seek to develop flood-resilient landscapes through technical and nature-based solutions for future climate adaptation. In this PhD project you will focus on the estuarine landscape of the Eastern Scheldt, located in the southwest of the Netherlands.
