The fundamental scientific question that the post-doc will address is as follows: “What are the mechanisms that control the fate and transport of uranium under field-induced groundwater to groundwater and river water to groundwater recharge events in both the vadose and saturated zones?” For the management of the Riverton site, this research will help answer the following questions: 1) What is the natural flushing time frame? and 2) What are the most important contaminant transport mechanisms when selecting remedial strategies?
The post-doc will also be responsible for lecturing Chemical Hydrogeology during the Spring semester and mentoring graduate and undergraduate students. The post-doc will be advised by Dr. Charles Paradis at UWM and Dr. Raymond Johnson at RSI EnTech, LLC, US DOE Office of Legacy Management Support Contractor.
The post-doc will hold a Ph.D. in geology or a closely related field and have demonstrated experience in analyzing and modeling experimental field data focused on low-pressure/low-temperature groundwater geochemistry and flow; this includes, but is not limited to, experience with MODFLOW, MT3D, and PHREEQC as evident by modeling-focused publications in peer-reviewed scientific journals.
To apply for this position, please submit a single pdf that includes a cover letter, CV, transcripts (official or unofficial), and the contact information of three references to Dr. Paradis at paradisc@uwm.edu with the e-mail subject line as follows: “UWM-GeoChem-Post-doc-YourLastName”.
Applications will be reviewed as they are received, and the position will remain open until filled.

'''Job description'''<br>
Would you like to become our new Assistant Professor Hydrodynamic and Morphodynamic Modelling of River Systems?
Interactions between hydraulics, morphodynamics, and ecology affect stakeholder needs such as flood safety, navigation, ecosystem services and possibilities for nature restoration in floodplains, stability of structures, and freshwater supply. The focus of your research is on analytical and numerical modelling of these interactions. You use field data and laboratory experiments to create insight on these interactions and to validate your models. You have expertise in benefitting from natural fluvial processes or nature-based solutions, particularly in the context of increased pressures induced by urbanisation and climate change.
You will conduct internationally leading research in the field of hydrodynamics and morphodynamics of engineered and natural river systems. You will (co-)supervise PhD and MSc students and assist them in disseminating research outcomes effectively through international, leading journals and conferences. The candidate initiates new research and is able to acquire funding for these projects through cooperation with the private sector, government and through EU or national (NWO) grants. Besides this, you will contribute to education on both BSc and MSc levels. You will also take part in management activities of the department or faculty, for instance, educational boards.
'''Requirements'''<br>
You as a succesfull candidate hold a PhD degree in Civil Engineering, Applied Physics, or Applied Mathematics. You pursue an academic career. You are capable of delivering high quality research as evidenced in the publication record. You like to set up your own research line and build your own research group while maintaining close links with other research areas. As our future colleague you have experience within the academic environment and are aware of inclusiveness values. Through your personality, you are able to cooperate effectively with peers, students, and stakeholders.

The Department of Hydrology and Atmospheric Sciences at the University of Arizona (UA) is seeking 3 motivated postdoctoral scholars in hydrology and atmospheric sciences. As part of the effort, the successful candidates will work with a team of investigators from the University of Arizona, other universities, and/or federal agencies to improve hydrologic models and forecasting, as well as the coupling of land surface and atmospheric models to support Earth System Predictions. They would be joining a team that includes a broad range of expertise in land-surface and atmospheric modeling, the use of in situ and remote sensing observations for hydrologic analysis and modeling, downscaling, and data sciences. The research efforts will enable improved hydrologic modelling that can be critical for various applications such as flood, heatwave, and/or flash-drought forecasting. As part of this effort, we expect to downscale hydrologic inputs/outputs using advanced techniques that may include machine learning to develop high-resolution hydrometeorological data products. We also welcome strong and motivated candidates who are interested in snow hydrology and efforts to improve hydrologic modeling of snow/frozen soil and/or development/evaluation of high-resolution snow products. We note that there will also be flexibility in the type of research, determined based on the strengths and experience of the candidates.
This position will be for one year with an expectation for renewal based on the candidate’s performance. The starting date is negotiable (as soon as possible).

The Department of Land and Agroforest Environments, University pf Padova, Italy, is looking for a PhD Candidate in Climate- and Environmental Sciences to fill a three-year position from 1st of October 2023.
The position is available within the global call for applications "UNIPhD - Eight century legacy of multidisciplinary research and training for the next-generation talents” (closing date: 31 January 2023).
Selected early stage researchers benefit from very attractive employment conditions and will be recruited through a 3-year contract starting 1 October 2023.
For further information go to the call website: https://uniphd.eu/ (in English).
The project, titled “Projected changes in flood occurrence at convection-permitting scale across an alpine transect”, aims to shed light on the relationship between future changes in extreme precipitation and flooding – particularly high-end extreme events (i.e., those occurring twice or fewer times per century), which are rare to nonexistent in observed time series – based on high-space/time resolution climate simulations from convection-permitting models. The project will address this data scarcity problem by using a variety of methods, including stochastic streamflow generation and ensemble modelling using Single Model Initial-condition Large Ensembles (SMILEs) across an Alpine transect where accurate long- term series of flood events and climate simulations at convection permitting scale are available.
To be successful the potential candidate needs:
* An outstanding MSc in environmental- or natural sciences (e.g. meteorology, hydrology, climate sciences, physical geography), or environmental engineering
* Proven knowledge of statistical methods
* Proven knowledge about hydrological analysis and modeling
* Proven programming skills in, e.g., Fortran, Python, R, or Matlab
* Good communication skills (writing and speaking) in English
If you are interested in this positions, please apply before 31 January 2023. Any further clarification requests can be addressed to: marco.borga@unipd.it
