Scientist Position (18 months, 100%, with less % possible) for Ecohydrological Modelling in a Transient Climate.
Our group aims at a mechanistic understanding of ecohydrological systems in a changing climate by integrating state-of-the-art ecohydrological modelling and data-based analyses. The focus of the advertised position is on model implementation across multiple catchments, assessing and improving model performance using in-situ and satellite-derived data, and model analysis aiming at better understanding climate-induced hydrological changes (e.g. linkage between changes in snow cover and evapotranspiration; effects of an increased frequency of warm-dry periods; feedbacks with changes in vegetation). The ideal candidate should be experienced in combining process-based understanding with strong numerical modelling skills.
Your tasks
- Process-based ecohydrological modelling in multiple catchments
- Model evaluation with in-situ and satellite-derived data
- Model analyses aiming at quantifying and better understanding climate-induced hydrological changes
- Publication of results in scientific journals
Your profile
- A PhD or equivalent in hydrology, civil engineering, environmental science, earth science, meteorology or a related field (or being close to receiving a PhD)
- Expert knowledge in the application of numerical models, e.g. for hydrological, land-surface and/or vegetation modelling
- Competence in programming with R, Python or another scripting language; experience with C/C++ is advantageous
- Experience in model development, multi-criteria calibration and in use of remote sensing data for hydrologic purposes is an asset
- Expertise in working with large data sets, high-performance computing systems and use of version-control systems is advantageous
- Good publication record (commensurate with career stage)
- Strong English language skills both in oral and written communication
- Ability to work independently and in a team environment
Our offer
We offer an exciting job on highly topical research questions in an international and friendly working environment with opportunities for flexible working hours and mobile working.
