• Civil Engineering

• Coastal Engineering

• Water and Environmental Engineering

How to apply

Interested applicants are invited to apply via the official form, submitting:

• A 1-page cover letter

• A short CV

• A 2-page research proposal

This is a unique opportunity to contribute to innovative, cross-disciplinary research at the interface of engineering, marine science, and climate resilience.
