Marijke Huysmans

The Vrije Universiteit Brussel (VUB) is offering a PhD position focused on the integration of flux measurements in groundwater models. This opportunity is ideal for candidates interested in groundwater fieldwork, the use of novel flux sensors, groundwater modelling, and interdisciplinary research. The research will be supervised by Professor Marijke Huysmans, an expert in groundwater hydrology and hydrogeology, who also holds a part-time professorship at KU Leuven. The project aims to advance the understanding and modelling of groundwater systems by integrating direct flux measurements into existing groundwater models. This interdisciplinary research will combine fieldwork, sensor technology, and computational modelling to address key challenges in hydrogeology and environmental science. The successful candidate will join a dynamic research environment at VUB, collaborating with experts in hydrology, engineering, and environmental sciences. Applicants should have a strong background in groundwater hydrology, environmental science, earth science, or a related discipline. Experience or interest in fieldwork, flux sensors, and groundwater modelling is highly desirable. The position offers an excellent opportunity to develop advanced research skills and contribute to innovative solutions in water resource management.
