Postdoctoral Researcher position in the field of experimental ice mechanics

Understanding how ice fractures has fundamental importance in arctic marine technology and geophysics. The fracture processes of interest include fragmentation of sea ice against polar ships, ice sheets broken by ocean waves, leads forming in sea ice, and formation of crevasses in glaciers. The importance of ice fracture research is enhanced by global warming, which is both increasing the fragmentation and changing the mechanical properties of ice. Warm ice is different that cold ice.

The research group on ice mechanics at Aalto University in Finland is now looking for a Postdoctoral Researcher to join our us and work on fracture of ice. Our international group conducts laboratory experiments to study the small-scale physical mechanisms of ice fracture. Our modern facilities include the 40m x 40m Aalto Ice and Wave Tank, a cold room with a smaller tank to study saline ice, and an environmental chamber with a wide temperature range. We collaborate with University College London, the Norwegian University of Science and Technology and other universities.
