We are looking for an innovative, dynamic and inspiring scholar in the field of Hydrology and Quantitative Water Management (HWM) to join our faculty and lead the HWM chair group at Wageningen University & Research (0.8 - 1.0 fte).
Hydrology and Quantitative Water Management is a successful and committed research group, integrating hydrology and hydraulics to fundamentally understand and quantify hydrological processes in river basins, aquifers and deltas. In this realm, the group addresses contemporary and projected impacts of global climate change and sea-level rise, which are interwoven with society, the socio-economic system, and land use change. The Chair of HWM seeks to tackle these challenges through measuring and monitoring using, often newly developed, in situ or remote sensing techniques, and numerical or conceptual modelling across scales.
The research of the HWM group currently focuses on the following topics: (1) measuring hydrological fluxes and states using novel sensing techniques; (2) understanding the terrestrial hydrological system and its component processes using physics based and conceptual models; (3) understanding the river-sea interactions in deltas and estuaries; and (4) improving hydrological predictions and projections at a range of spatial and temporal scales, focusing on hydro-climatic extremes (floods and droughts). Furthermore, theoretical developments are tested in a fully equipped water and sediment dynamics laboratory, as well as in river basins, aquifers and delta’s worldwide. The new chair is encouraged to add her/his own expertise and ideas to this research field and is expected to provide guidance towards synergy within and breakthroughs by the team in this scientific field. Moreover, the Chair stimulates achievement of value creation by developing novel sensing techniques, models, datasets and nature-based solutions that support water managers in the Netherlands and worldwide.
The HWM group enthusiastically pushes the hydrological science frontier ahead by leading research on links between land-surface interactions and vegetation dynamics under weather and climate extremes; interactions of groundwater flow conduits and carbon mobilization in thawing permafrost areas; hydrological modelling practices to identify model uncertainty; sound methodologies for river plastic monitoring; sediment balance and salt intrusion in deltas; improved applications of satellite remote sensing for agricultural water management; development of the WALRUS rainfall-runoff model; weather radar rainfall estimation; operational flood and drought forecasting including data assimilation.
HWM teaching and research are closely intertwined. The staff members teach courses at BSc and MSc level. For more information see below.
As Chair, you will lead the Hydrology and Quantitative Water Management group. You will support the group’s research ambitions by further strengthening its position in national and international networks, by managing its internal processes and relations in a constructive and cooperative way, and by strengthening established research lines, safeguarding coherence in research and bringing in novel ideas. In addition, you will play an active role in education at the undergraduate and graduate level. You will also give new impulses to further develop the contents of courses, teaching methods, and the coherence of the education programmes in which HWM takes part. You will ensure the group provides an encouraging working environment to staff at a range of career levels. Acquisition of external funding for research and attracting PhD candidates are key elements of your responsibility.

'''A balancing act: Resolving coastal wetland water, carbon and solute fluxes'''
Coastal wetlands offer an impressive capacity to regulate the Earth’s climate by altering the way carbon dioxide is extracted from the atmosphere and stored while simultaneously influencing the water cycle, thus providing ecosystem services such as carbon storage, abating flood waters, improving water quality and protecting the coastline from sea level rise. This project aims to address the current gaps in understanding the critical exchanges of water and greenhouse gases (GHGs) combining field methodologies and hydrological models, under different climatic conditions. The intended outcomes will benefit management of GHG emissions, coastal flooding and vulnerable groundwater dependent habitats. +

We are looking for a PhD candidate with a strong interest in ecohydrology of urban ecosystems. The goal of the project is to assess hydrological and ecological functioning of urban freshwater systems and blue-green infrastructure and the interactions between hydrology, nutrient cycles, and aquatic organisms with the surrounding urban landscape and hydroclimate. The project works across interdisciplinary scales at the interface of science and society, collaborating with local partners and non-scientific institutions across Berlin, to translate scientific insights into sustainable resource strategies and concepts for the management and use of urban blue-green infrastructure.
The focus of this PhD position is to study spatio-temporal dynamics of ecohydrological processes in urban freshwater ecosystems (i.e. streams, ponds) and vegetation. We will use an integrated tracer approach that combines the analysis of stable water isotopes, hydrochemistry and environmental DNA (eDNA) to quantify ecohydrological interactions in urban freshwater ecosystems and assess the effects of climate and urbanization on water quality and availability, aquatic diversity and climate resilience. The research will focus on the analysis of hydrological and hydroclimate data, ecological analyses (i.e. microbial diversity) using ecohydrological modelling approaches to assess the potential of urban blue-green infrastructure to support climate mitigation and adaptation in cities. We will also work closely with local stakeholders and partners on developing relevant research questions and stake-holder relevant model scenarios.
The deadline for applications is '''19.09.2025'''.

'''Project description:'''<br>
Towards a machine learning driven framework for quantifying regional scale rock glacier change in mountain regions
'''Main supervisor:''' Shelley MacDonell (School of Earth and Environment)
'''Project description:''' Snow, ice and permafrost are in a state of rapid change, directly impacting water resources, natural hazard occurrence and habitat availability in mountainous regions. While glacial and nival variability has been relatively well constrained using Earth Observation (EO) data, large uncertainties still remain in the state of mountain permafrost, including features such as rock glaciers. Recent advances in machine learning and computer vision offer new opportunities to automate detection and monitoring of rock glaciers over larger scales. The aim of this PhD thesis will be to develop a machine learning framework to reliably map rock glaciers in different environments at regional scales using EO datasets from Aotearoa New Zealand, the Andes, and Norway. The framework can work towards looking at changes over time. The successful candidate will be encouraged to explore geospatial portals such as Google Earth Engine or the Microsoft Planetary Computer as well to develop open-source scripts and routines.
'''The ideal candidate will have the following skills:''' Experience with programming, in particular machine learning libraries such as Tensorflow or Pytorch; Geospatial analysis including GIS and remote sensing is essential; Familiarity with methods such as differential radar interferometry (DInSAR), time series analysis, and topographic analysis are an advantage.
