Research Engineer (Hydrodynamics in Aquaculture)

Job Details

This position focuses on physics-based modelling of hydrodynamics, turbulent mixing, and nutrient transport in fish farms. The research forms part of an interdisciplinary programme integrating hydrodynamics, microbial technologies, and AI-driven lifecycle management for sustainable aquaculture.

The Successful Candidate Will Be Required To
 

• Develop hydrodynamic models of fish cages subjected to waves and currents
• Simulate turbulence-driven mixing, oxygen distribution, and nutrient/waste transport in aquaculture environments
• Conduct field measurements in coastal fish farms using instruments such as ADCP, ADV, water quality sensors, and underwater cameras
• Analyse and integrate field observations into predictive physical models
• Collaborate with interdisciplinary teams including microbiology and AI researchers within the programme

Requirements

• Master's degree in Coastal Engineering, Ocean Engineering, Fluid Mechanics, Environmental Engineering, Civil Engineering, or a closely related discipline
• Strong background in computational fluid dynamics (CFD) and turbulence modelling (e.g., RANS, LES, or equivalent approaches)
• Experience in environmental flow modelling, hydrodynamics, or coastal processes
• Prior experience with aquaculture systems, fish cage hydrodynamics, or net-pen flows is advantageous
• Ability to conduct field measurements and offshore deployments
• Strong publication record and ability to work independently within a multidisciplinary research team
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills
