Two open postdoctoral positions in geophysical fluid dynamics are available at the
Geophysical Fluid Dynamics Lab
June 28, 2021: The Ben-Gurion University of the Negev (BGU), Israel has announced two openings for Postdoctoral positions in geophysical fluid dynamics funded by the German-Israeli Foundation for Scientific Research and Development (GIF) in an international project titled โInstabilities in ice flow and the genesis of ice streams.โ
Research goals: The flow of many ice streams is believed to be strongly controlled by complex lubrication networks located underneath the ice that consist of water and deformable sediments. Fluid mechanically, this phenomenon can be modelled theoretically and experimentally as a hydrodynamic instability in gravity currents of complex fluids. The goal of this project is to investigate the mechanism of such an instability and the potential genesis of ice streams by combining laboratory experiments, theoretical analyses, numerical simulations, and geophysical observations (collaboration with Angelika Humbert, Alfred Wagner Inst., Germany)
