About this position

Postdoctoral opening in experimental fluid dynamics, biology, and environmental science on the topic of copepods in turbulence.

The project, titled Experimental study of copepods in turbulence, aims to experimentally characterize how turbulence affects the behavior of copepods (zooplankton organisms) relative to the Kolmogorov scale. The research asks whether copepods are attracted to turbulence, avoid it, or remain indifferent, and whether there are transition thresholds in their responses.

The work will be carried out at LOG (Wimereux) using the Agiturb device, which generates controlled turbulence with Taylor Reynolds numbers from 130 to 350. Measurements will combine a multi-bistatic ultrasonic Doppler sonar to capture the three components of fluid velocity, velocity and copepod biovolume at high spatial and temporal resolution, plus high-speed cameras to track individual trajectories.

The postdoctoral fellow will help set up the device and study how turbulence intensity influences copepod behavior. This is a research-intensive experimental position suited to candidates with interests in turbulence, aquatic organisms, imaging, and quantitative analysis.
