YOUR TASKS
Within the European project DuneFront, the researcher affiliated with the Department of Structural Engineering and Building Materials will develop cementitious materials and production techniques to realize complex shapes, to realize improved bio-receptivity of dikes and to promote biodiversity. He/she will aid in the preparation for implementation of an eco-dike along the Belgian Coast to provide a solution for coastal safety issues while reinforcing ecological values and providing opportunities for recreation.
Furthermore, the researcher will make the first steps towards the development of a framework for "blue infrastructure" rating, based (among others) on the model of LEED, building on life cycle assessment (LCA) and life cycle cost (LCC) analysis, to quantify the environmental impacts and the costs of different alternatives for coastal protection systems. The researcher will apply and validate this novel rating system on selected demonstrators. He/she will define Key Model Performance Indicators for Dune-Dike Nature Based Solutions (DD-hybrid NbS) representing biodiversity, flood safety, environmental, economic and societal effects to assess the performance of the DD-hybrid NbS under different climate change scenarios.
WHAT WE ARE LOOKING FOR
Applicants should have a MSc or PhD in Structural or Civil Engineering (or another MSc leading to sufficient knowledge on the topics of relevance), an independent and well-organized working style, well-developed social skills directed towards working in an interdisciplinary team, strong motivation to succeed in scientific research, excellent presentation and scientific writing skills and excellent English language skills (verbally and written). Experience with Life Cyle Analysis or 3D printing of concrete is an added value.
