'''Position overview:'''<br>
The University of Kanas is excited to announce a postdoctoral research opportunity to advance large-scale watershed modeling by upscaling from detailed models using machine learning techniques and coupling multiple models to improve representation of near-channel biophysical processes. The postdoctoral researcher will use land unit characteristics and water quality outputs from existing Soil Water and Assessment Tool (SWAT) watershed models to train and validate machine learning models. This project is part of a large, multi-institutional effort that is focused on improving aquatic biological community health in the Upper Mississippi River Basin, which is intensively managed for row-crop agriculture. This postdoctoral position is located at the University of Kansas in Lawrence, Kansas, a mid-size college town located on the banks of the Kansas River. The successful candidate must have appropriate work authorization and be physically present at the defined work location with the United States by the start date of employment The position is funded for up to 2.5 years pending annual review of performance. To apply, submit requested application materials at https://employment.ku.edu/staff/17500BR.
Watershed models are common tools to characterize water quality responses to changes in land use and land management yet are often so heavily parameterized that their application is not extendible to nearby regions with similar yet not identical characteristics. Numerous watershed models of subbasins of the Mississippi River exist yet remain of limited value towards a larger regional analysis due to the lack of consistent parameterization or architecture. Although there are larger regional models they often too large to be computationally feasible to resolve the scales at which land management decisions are made for cost-benefit analysis where extensive model executions must occur. The focus of the research for this postdoctoral project will be to develop the intellectual and model base needed to create parsimonious models of the Mississippi River basin that can inform regional response plans to predicted patterns of climate and land use change.
'''Job Duties:'''<br>
60% Advance watershed modeling. Homogenize high-resolution high-certainty SWAT models, create training data response library, apply machine learning models to predict unmodeled landscape unit response, build river network model (e.g. LISFLOOD), couple landscape output to river network model, model validation and uncertainty, execute coupled upscale model under scenarios of climate and land use change.
20% Planning and collaboration. Participate in planning, designing and conducting watershed modeling research projects under the direction of a faculty supervisor. Analyze and evaluate cross-model and individual model results from scenarios and provide interpretations. Collaborate with a diverse project team from multiple institutions across United States to define overall project goals, share data and communicate results.
20% Communicate science. Complete writing tasks, including literature review, required to publish research in peer-reviewed journals, contribute toward the preparation of technical reports, papers and/or records. Present results at scientific conferences and to stakeholders. Contribute to the development, preparation and submission of externally funded proposals related to the research program.
Application review begins Aug 12, 2020 and will continue until a pool of qualified applicants is received.

'''Postdoctoral Researcher @ KU Leuven (Belgium)'''
'''''Impact of Irrigation on Meteorology: Satellite Data Assimilation and Land-Atmosphere Coupling'''''
KU Leuven is looking for an enthusiastic postdoctoral researcher with experience in (i) land and/or atmospheric modeling and (ii) satellite-based earth observations (EO). You will participate in a cutting-edge and international research project “METEORI” (funded by Belspo) to improve our understanding of the effect of irrigation on land-atmosphere coupling, and you will assimilate EO data to enhance the representation of irrigation in Earth system modeling. You will be part of the Department of Earth and Environmental Sciences, Division Soil and Water Management, Research Group “Land Surface Remote Sensing, Modeling and Data Assimilation”. Research stays at FZ Jülich (Germany) are possible. Your direct supervisors will be prof. Gabriëlle De Lannoy (KU Leuven), drs. Zdenko Heyvaert (KU Leuven/ECMWF), and prof. Stefan Kollet (FZ Jülich).
The impact of irrigation on the atmosphere has mostly been studied using models. However, EO data offer the possibility to identify areas with irrigation and improve our estimates of the land surface. The land surface interacts with the lower atmosphere through land-atmosphere coupling. METEORI will for the first time apply multi-sensor, multi-frequency, and multivariate data assimilation over agricultural areas to leverage EO in a coupled land-atmosphere model. More specifically, the irrigated land will a priori be classified using EO data. Over these areas, microwave-based retrievals of soil moisture, optical-based retrievals of vegetation and infrared-based retrievals of soil temperature will be assimilated into the Noah-MP model embedded within the NASA Land Information System (LIS). The successful candidate will extend the LIS software to facilitate the assimilation of satellite products that have not yet been implemented. Following an ‘offline’ (land surface only) evaluation, Noah-MP will be used together with the Weather Research & Forecasting (WRF) atmospheric model within the NASA Unified WRF (NU-WRF) to perform ‘online’ (land surface and atmosphere) simulations. The inclusion of EO data into the coupled land-atmosphere simulations will alter the coupling strength compared to model-only simulations. This coupling strength will be quantified using novel methods that involve machine learning or deep learning. METEORI will improve both the understanding of land-atmosphere coupling and the skill of local and regional meteorological forecasts, both directly over agricultural areas and downstream.
The postdoc is expected to work in a broad international context, and collaborate with PhD and MSc students.
