'''Tenure track group leader position in ecohydrological modelling of connected terrestrial-aquatic ecosystems (f/m/x)'''
The Department of Ecohydrology and Biogeochemistry of the Leibniz-Institute of Freshwater Ecology and Inland Fisheries (IGB) Berlin invites applications for a tenure track group leader position in ecohydrological modelling of connected terrestrial-aquatic ecosystems. The successful candidate will develop a research group and program on how ecohydrological processes in landscapes affect water bodies (lakes, ponds, rivers, floodplains, wetlands, littoral zones or marshlands), and how ecohydrological settings as well as human-induced changes (urbanization, climate change, management) affect ecohydrological processes in freshwater ecosystems. The position follows the IGBs commitment and the strategic need to enhance capacity in the critical area of ecohydrological modelling.
We seek a dynamic, motivated and ambitious scientist to join an interdisciplinary science and modelling team to support the development of coupled hydrological-ecological modelling at IGB. This expansion of the Department builds on a long history of internationally recognised research excellence in ecohydrology. This position aims to understand the functioning of connected landscapes and waterscapes. The impacts of global change on these connected landscape-waterscape ecosystems will be investigated through advanced process-based modelling approaches. It is expected that the modelling will utilise unique long-term data sets from instrumented research sites operated by (and close to) IGB. Access to lab- and field-based data for model testing and validation and use of high-performance computer clusters is available to facilitate the application and development of “state-of-the-art” research models. Further, IGB leads research on incorporating tracers into ecohydrological models to inform model structure and parametrisation as well as reducing modelling uncertainties. We are seeking to enhance and complement the existing strengths and look for an excellent researcher that enhances our capacity to conduct advanced ecohydrological modelling and link this to freshwater systems.

'''Three Open Topic Positions'''<br>
Center on Persuasive Systems for Wise Adaptive living (PERSWADE) is seeking outstanding
PhD candidates who have transdisciplinary background and are passionate about turning
scientific knowledge into action.
The research can focus on one of the following topics, depending on your interests and skills:
Systems of systems, network of networks – how uncertainty propagates across scales
in systems?
* Dynamics of public opinion in a changing environment – how analyzing social media
we can understand behavior and preferences and how can we influence them?
* Standards and documentation ‐‐ how do we make our models and modeling process
(including participatory modeling) reproducible, how can we learn from it, and how
can we make such standards adopted by the modeling community?
* Networks and cascades of power – if the rich get richer and the poor get poorer, how
can the system change?
* Optimization of socio‐technical systems – what can we achieve if behavior change is
one of the control parameters, which can be changed along with design and
performance of supply systems?
Particular applications will be tailored to the interests and passions of the student, but will be
concerned with such topics as resource scarcity, climate change, food security, energy
efficiency, health and healthcare, etc.
'''Two Thematic PhD Positions'''<br>
PhD1 ‘Disasters and urbanization’: Natural disasters impact individuals, communities and
cities across Australia on a regular basis. Bushfires, storms and floods may have catastrophic
consequences, especially in urban and sub‐urban areas with high density of population and
properties. The growing frequency and severity of these hazards and the booming population
trends call for smart urban expansion strategies, which support socio‐economic resilience and
minimize expected losses. Engagement of various stakeholders and search for synergies
between private and public adaptation actions becomes central in the agenda of the
Australian government, calling for the development of economic tools to quantify the impact of adaptation actions at various levels. While individual level actions – such as purchasing
insurance, hazard‐proofing a house and relocating to a safer place – reduce expected
damages and improve resilience, this autonomous adaptation has limits. To be able to assess
where these limits are, how they change over time, and how public policies can enhance
autonomous adaptation, we need to quantify aggregated impacts of autonomous adaptation.
This PhD project will develop a computational spatial agent‐based model that traces the
impacts of public and private adaptation to climate‐driven hazards. This simulation model will serve as an aggregation vehicle to trace changes in damages across scales as individuals and
communities dynamically adapt to natural hazards. We focus on the impact on the housing
sector since losses to real estate constitute the largest share of the direct damage from
catastrophic events such as bushfires, storms and floods.
'''PhD2 ‘Housing bubbles and economic expectations’:''' Housing markets are vital in supporting and redistributing wealth. Given unprecedented urbanization one could expect increase in property and land prices that potentially undermine inequality. At the same time, housing markets are known to experience sudden crashes raising the question about macro and microeconomic forces shaping economic bubbles. Price expectations of heterogenous economic agents and their interactions along the economic and social networks drive markets dynamics from the bottom up. At the same time, macroeconomic cycles also influence the housing sector. This PhD project will develop computational agent‐based models to study economy as an adaptive complex system, focusing on housing markets in particular.

'''Two Positions Available''' ''(And neither one is a professor or a grad student)''
Our group is currently taking applications for a full-time water resource engineer, and we will soon be accepting applications for our summer engineering intern program for summer 2022. Read on for more information about the company, our group, and the two positions we will be hiring soon.
Idaho Power (https://www.idahopower.com/) headquartered in vibrant Boise, Idaho – is one of the few investor-owned electric utilities in the country that makes a significant portion of its power from hydro-electricity. With 17 low-cost hydroelectric projects as the core of our energy mix, our 590,000 residential, business and agricultural customers pay some of the nation’s lowest prices for electricity. And this core has allowed us to set an ambitious goal of 100% clean energy by 2045.
The River Engineering Group within Idaho Power works around this hydro-electric infrastructure to provide detailed analysis of flows, hydraulics, sediment transport, bank erosion, and aquatic habitat in the rivers and reservoirs. This work extends from multibeam echosounder (MBES) surveys of Fall Chinook Spawning areas, Terrestrial LiDAR scans (TLS) of sandbars and gravel bars, drone surveys of tributary debris flow events, velocity mapping around island restoration projects, and 1 and 2 dimensional hydraulic modeling throughout the Snake River system. The group is currently focused on the Snake River Stewardship program that requires large-scale instream construction for temperature mitigation, the Hells Canyon Complex (HCC) Sediment project that informs the current FERC relicensing of the HCC project, and providing technical support, modeling and mapping to the Dam Safety program. We also ride jetboats in Class IV rapids in Hells Canyon. And scuba dive with sturgeon!
'''Full-Time Engineer Position (Apply until October 17th)'''<br>
We are looking for an outgoing team member who wants to split their time between the office (modeling, coding, and analyzing data) and the field (surveying above and below the water in the river and reservoirs). We use cutting edge tools to answer interesting questions that have real-world impact. We actively engage with the scientific community through conferences and publications.
In addition to the meaningful work we do, we offer work-life balance, competitive pay and benefits, and both a 401k employer-match and a pension plan, making Idaho Power one of the best employers in the state. Read that again! A 401k AND a pension.
