The Cyprus Institute invites applications for a highly qualified and motivated Reseacher to join the Institute’s Computational Science and Engineering team of CaSToRC on a full-time basis (100% FTE) for its premises at Athalassas Campus.
The successful candidate will pursue research in the context of the nationally (RIF) funded project MICROFIBRES, focusing on modelling and simulations of microplastics.
Position Specific Responsibilities/activities:
Develop continuum simulation methodologies for degrading microplastics by numerically implementing asymptotic models and using Boundary Element Methods.
Perform parametric studies using the resulting code to investigate the effect of material parameters and environmental conditions.
Assist in model development using matched asymptotics and integral methods.
