PhD Position in Ocean - Sea Ice Interactions

Job description

The past decades have been associated with substantial losses of sea ice over both hemispheres. Existing climate models are currently unable to accurately forecast these changes, in part due to their imperfect representation of ocean and sea ice interactions at sub-grid scales.

This project aims to improve our physical understanding of these fine-scale processes, including the melting and breakage of sea ice, using a framework consisting of an ocean Large Eddy Simulation (LES) and a Discrete Element Model (DEM) of sea ice. Results from these simulations will be validated against a combination of in-situ and remote sensing data from both the Arctic and Antarctic sea ice regions. Based on this new understanding, the candidate will develop parameterizations that can emulate these physics for use in more coarsely-resolved climate models.

This fully-funded position is part of the European Research Council (ERC) 'ICE-FLOE' project, and will involve collaborations with other team members at TU Delft and internationally. There may also be the opportunity to assist with a research cruise in Antarctica.

Job requirements

• Master's degree in Earth sciences, oceanography, physics, applied mathematics, or engineering.
• Demonstrated research experience in climate, oceanography, the cryosphere, or atmospheric science.
• Interest in the intersection of solid/fluid mechanics.
• Experience working with the Julia programming language is an advantage but not required.
• Ability to work independently.
• Excellent command of written and spoken English.
• Ability to start the position in January-March 2027 (with some flexibility).

Studieadviseur/ teamleider

Functieomschrijving

In een dynamische werkomgeving, waarin professionaliteit, inzet en initiatief sterk worden gestimuleerd en gewaardeerd, ben jij als studieadviseur verantwoordelijk voor het bevorderen van een goede studievoortgang van BSc-, MSc- en schakelstudenten gedurende hun gehele studieloopbaan én in de rol als teamleider voor de aansturing van het team studieadviseurs.

Als studieadviseur ben je adviseur, begeleider en coach. Je bent een toegankelijk en vertrouwd aanspreekpunt voor studenten en ondersteunt hen bij vragen over hun studieprogramma, studievoortgang en welzijn. Je voert individuele begeleidingsgesprekken, onderhoudt contact met studenten die risico lopen op studievertraging en houdt spreekuren waar studenten terecht kunnen met vragen over alle aspecten van hun studie.

Vanuit een coachende benadering help je studenten regie te nemen over hun studieproces, weloverwogen keuzes te maken en hun talenten verder te ontwikkelen. Daarbij heb je oog voor zowel de academische ontwikkeling als de persoonlijke omstandigheden van de student. Wanneer studenten te maken hebben met uitdagingen zoals ziekte, familieomstandigheden of een functiebeperking, bied je passende ondersteuning en denk je mee over mogelijkheden binnen de opleiding. Waar nodig verwijs je door naar gespecialiseerde ondersteuning, zoals een studentenarts, huisarts, studentenpsycholoog, studentendecaan, loopbaanadviseur of de examencommissie.

Daarnaast werk je samen met docenten, opleidingsmanagement, de examencommissie en andere ondersteunende professionals binnen en buiten de universiteit. Vanuit deze samenwerking draag je bij aan een inclusieve, veilige en ondersteunende leeromgeving, waarin studenten zich gezien, gehoord en ondersteund voelen en worden gestimuleerd om het beste uit zichzelf te halen.

Deze functie van studieadviseur wordt gecombineerd met de rol van teamleider waarin je leiding geeft aan het team van vijf studieadviseurs. Voor deze rol wordt circa 0,1 tot 0,3 fte van je aanstelling gereserveerd. In deze rol ben je een ervaren collega, verbinder en sparringpartner voor het team. Je stimuleert kennisdeling, reflectie en onderlinge samenwerking en draagt bij aan een professionele en prettige werkomgeving. Je creëert ruimte voor intervisie, coaching en professionele ontwikkeling en helpt collega's hun kwaliteiten verder te versterken.

Als teamleider ben je een toegankelijk aanspreekpunt voor collega’s en denk je mee over de dagelijkse praktijk van studieadvisering. Je hebt oog voor zowel de kwaliteit van het werk als het welzijn van de mensen die het uitvoeren. Daarnaast voer je resultaat- en ontwikkelgesprekken met teamleden en fungeer je als eerste aanspreekpunt bij verzuim en ziekmeldingen.

Als teamleider vorm je daarnaast de verbindende schakel tussen het team studieadviseurs en het hoofd Onderwijs & Studentenzaken. Je signaleert ontwikkelingen binnen het team, bespreekt kansen en knelpunten en bent verantwoordelijk voor het verbeteren van processen en het implementeren van beleidskeuzes.

Het team Studieadvies maakt onderdeel uit van de afdeling Onderwijs- en Studentenzaken. De afdeling faciliteert het onderwijs van de bachelor- en masteropleiding Bouwkunde, de masteropleiding Geomatics en The Berlage post-master in Architecture and Urban Design. Met ongeveer vijfentwintig medewerkers draagt de afdeling zorg voor onderwijsadvies, onderwijscoördinatie, het International Office, studieadvisering en de ondersteuning van de examencommissie. De afdeling werkt nauw samen met medewerkers binnen de faculteit en met collega's van de centrale directie Education & Student Affairs.

Functie-eisen

• Academisch werk- en denkniveau, met ruime ervaring in advisering, coaching en begeleiding van studenten binnen het hoger onderwijs.
• Ervaring met het coördineren, begeleiden of aansturen van professionals, waarbij je medewerkers weet te verbinden, te coachen en in hun ontwikkeling te stimuleren.
• Uitstekende gespreks-, advies- en coachingsvaardigheden, met oog voor zowel individuele studentbegeleiding als teamontwikkeling.
• Sterk analytisch vermogen en organisatiesensitiviteit; je bent in staat uiteenlopende belangen zorgvuldig af te wegen en passende oplossingen te realiseren.
• Proactieve en resultaatgerichte werkhouding, met oog voor kwaliteit, procesverbetering en innovatie van dienstverlening.
• Verbindende en samenwerkingsgerichte stijl; je werkt effectief samen met collega's, opleidingen, examencommissies en andere interne en externe stakeholders.
• Stressbestendig, besluitvaardig en in staat om prioriteiten te stellen in een dynamische omgeving.
• Uitstekende beheersing van het Nederlands en Engels, zowel mondeling als schriftelijk.

Bij TU Delft maken mensen het verschil. Met hun kennis en nieuwsgierigheid zorgen zij voor sterk onderwijs, vernieuwend onderzoek en innovaties die verder komen dan de campus. Je krijgt de ruimte om initiatief te nemen, samen te werken en jezelf te ontwikkelen. Wie bij TU Delft werkt, sluit zich aan bij een internationale community van professionals en studenten. Samen bouwen we aan kennis, innovatie en oplossingen die de wereld vooruithelpen.

Faculteit Bouwkunde
De faculteit Bouwkunde heeft wereldwijd een leidende rol in onderwijs en onderzoek. De drijvende kracht achter het succes van de faculteit is het robuuste onderzoeksprofiel in combinatie met de energie en creativiteit van de studenten en de academische gemeenschap. Het is een bruisende plek waar ruim vierduizend mensen vol passie en energie studeren, werken, ontwerpen, onderzoek doen en kennis vergaren en verspreiden. Onze faculteit heeft een sterke focus op ‘ontwerpgericht onderzoek' dat al enkele jaren wordt erkend en bekroond, met als resultaat een toppositie op de wereldranglijsten. Medewerkers en studenten werken aan de verbetering van de gebouwde omgeving met behulp van een breed scala aan disciplines, waaronder architectonisch ontwerp, stedenbouw, bouwtechnologie, sociale wetenschappen, procesmanagement en geo-informatiewetenschappen. De faculteit werkt nauw samen met andere faculteiten, universiteiten, private partijen en de publieke sector en heeft een uitgebreid netwerk, zowel in Nederland als internationaal.
