The post falls under the wide issue of understanding the fundamental physical mechanisms driving the coupled motion of liquids, gases, and granular materials, including magnetic interactions. The researcher project's goal is to improve our understanding of how different forces, both short-range (e.g., capillary and friction forces) and long-range (e.g., viscous and gravitational forces), act in various flow regimes. These interacting forces can result in instabilities and emergence of complex patterns. We are particularly interested in frictional fluids and the relationship between fluid motion, friction, and magnetic interaction, as well as understanding the pattern formations that result. Experiments will be the primary emphasis of the research, including the development of experimental setups, design, image processing, data collecting, and analysis. The research will also incorporate theory and simulations connected to the experimental investigations
Requirements:
Applicants must hold a degree equivalent to a Norwegian doctoral degree in physics including statistical physics and hydrodynamics. Doctoral dissertation must be submitted for evaluation by the closing date. Only applicants with an approved doctoral thesis and public defense are eligible for appointment; Experience with the design and execution of experiments; Extensive research experience with experiments on granular materials, and flow in porous media
