TU Delft is advertising a Postdoc in Ocean–Sea Ice Interactions within the Faculty of Civil Engineering and Geosciences. The project focuses on the physics of coupled ocean/sea ice processes, including sea ice melting and breakage, turbulent interactions at sub-grid scales, and the development of parameterizations for use in global climate models. The research combines ocean Large Eddy Simulation (LES) and a Discrete Element Model (DEM) of sea ice, with validation against in-situ and remote sens...

Questions
Do I need to contact a supervisor before applying for a PhD position?
In many European and Asian universities yes; in some US programs applications are centralized but supervisor contact still helps.
Is GRE required for master’s or PhD applications abroad?
It depends on the country and university — many programs have made GRE optional, especially outside the US.
Do funded PhD positions usually cover tuition and living expenses?
Yes. Most funded PhD roles include tuition coverage plus a monthly stipend, but details vary by country and lab.
Are publications required to apply for PhD or postdoc positions?
Not always required for PhD, but strongly recommended. For postdoc roles, publications are usually expected.
Will I need to pay a tuition deposit for master’s admission?
In many countries yes — especially for taught master’s programs — but funded PhD positions typically do not require deposits.
