The Institute of Environmental Assessment and Water Research (IDAEA-CSIC) is looking for a Postdoctoral researcher to study multiphase flow and hydrodynamic transport in permeable media. The position is part of the ERC Starting Grant project Uplift.

The candidate will develop numerical models of transport, mixing, and reaction at the pore scale under partially-saturated conditions in heterogeneous media. These models will be based primarily on Lagrangian formulations that simulate the trajectories of dissolved substances. These trajectory-based numerical models will be employed in the broader context of Uplift to inform and validate the development of theoretical stochastic models. While the main focus of the position is the development of numerical models, the candidate will also be involved in the associated theoretical modeling and interact with the Uplift research team and collaborators regarding experimental data. Results will be published in international scientific journals, newsletters, and social media outlets, and the work will be presented at international conferences and project meetings.
