'''SUMMARY:'''
'''ORISE Post-Doctoral Fellow:'''
'''Modeling hydrological outcomes of stream and valley floor Restoration.'''
The U.S. Forest Service’s Pacific Northwest Research Station is seeking a Postdoctoral Fellow (Post-Doc) with quantitative experience in hydrology – especially development of reach- to watershed-scale water budgets and groundwater flow modeling. The Post-Doc will be engaged in a highly collaborative multi-agency monitoring and analysis effort to determine the effects of watershed-scale restoration project in Meadow Creek, a tributary of the Grande Ronde River in NE Oregon. A critical focal question for this project is: Does restoration measurably augment late-summer stream flow? Answering this question will require use of groundwater flow models to simulate pre- and post-restoration flows and storage of shallow groundwater in the floodplains of the restored stream and development of a reach-scale water budget that accounts for all fluxes into, and out of, the reach. This post-doctoral fellowship will offer tremendous opportunities for collaborative engagement with a diverse group of researchers, managers, and stakeholders addressing critical land management issues in the inter-mountain western USA.
This is a full-time, one-year appointment, but could be extended for an additional year upon recommendation of USFS and is contingent on the availability of funds.

'''Seeking 1-2 PhD Students to Join an NSF-Funded Transdisciplinary Project
Advancing Hydrology × Artificial Intelligence × Wildfire Science'''
'''About the Research'''<br>
Land, fire, and water managers face a major challenge: understanding how low-intensity wildland fires, including prescribed fires and managed wildfires, influence the hydrologic balance of watersheds. These low-severity fires reduce postfire erosion and debris flows and help sustain water supplies — but scientific consensus on their watershed-scale impacts is lacking. This PhD research will leverage advanced AI methods to quantify changes in water quantity, timing, and quality following managed fires across diverse western US landscapes. By integrating extensive climate, streamflow, sediment, and watershed attributes into state-of-the-art deep learning models, students will disentangle complex drivers of hydrologic response, capture watershed memory over days to decades, and support fire management strategies.
'''Desired Candidate Qualifications'''
* Strong computational and programming skills (e.g., Python, ML frameworks, data processing)
* Solid grounding in hydrologic principles
* High level of work ethic, independence, and motivation
* Strong communication and professional collaboration skills
* Interest in interdisciplinary research and real-world applications
Experience with geospatial datasets, deep learning, cloud computing, and/or google earth engine is a plus.
'''The Opportunity'''<br>
* Join a large team of AI scientists, hydrologists, ecologists, social scientists and economists in a $4M project funded by the US National Science Foundation
* Fully-funded PhD positions in the “Computing PhD” program (data science or AI tracks) at Boise State: https://www.boisestate.edu/computing/academics/doctoral-program/
* Opportunity to teach AI courses in addition to conducting state-of-the-art research
* Publish in high-impact journals + engagement with fire and water management agencies
* Develop transferable skills for careers in academia, national labs, or applied science organizations

'''Sustainable urban water management: research how drought-resilient cities can be realized in the Netherlands.'''
'''Job description'''<br>
As droughts become more frequent, many Dutch municipalities struggle to adapt their urban water management strategies. This leads to financial, ecological, and social consequences. A lack of understanding of the urban water balance before and during drought, the impact of evaporation, and unclear responsibilities hinder the transition to a climate-resilient urban environment.
We are looking for a PhD candidate to contribute to expanding this knowledge base. Your research will focus on:
• Setting up and maintaining monitoring networks to quantify urban water fluxes, with a focus on urban green infrastructure.
• Conducting data analysis to better understand water fluxes and evaporation.
• Conceptualizing and modeling the urban water balance before and during drought conditions.
You will closely collaborate with other project members and stakeholders within the Thirsty Cities project. This project aims to develop knowledge, tools, and strategies for a climate-proof and water-sensitive built environment.

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.

* Familiarity with using conservative and reactive tracers to inform tracer-aided, ecohydrological modelling
* Scenario simulations of the response of connected landscape-waterscapes to both natural and human-caused disturbances and how this contributes to the functioning of freshwater ecosystems
* Use of these models to assess the effectiveness of sampling strategies and science-based information of land, water and ecosystem management as well as policy making.
* Strong understanding of reducing data and modelling uncertainty in modelling experiments
* Establish a successful research group on ecohydrological processes of landscapes and their closely connected water bodies
'''Your profile'''<br>
* A PhD in hydrology/ecohydrology, or a related field of environmental science or engineering
