We are looking for a PhD with knowledge of hydrological models, especially the use and application of the SWAT model - Soil and Water Assessment Tool, for hydrological and environmental analysis of river basins, assessment of the impacts of land use, climate change, and good agricultural practices on ecohydrological balance.
The application of SWAT will seek to integrate data on water quality and climate scenarios to provide local and state managers with subsidies for risk governance and the preparation of climate change adaptation plans based on scientific evidence, to contribute to structural changes in the governance of natural resources and their relationships with socioeconomic development and ecosystem services, improving adaptation and resilience to climate change.
The objective is the integrated analysis of water resources, ecosystem services, health, and socioeconomic development in different climate, land use, and sanitation infrastructure scenarios to favor decision-making and formulation of public policies. The steps are: to integrate the data into the model; calibrate and validate the model; impact analysis on water resources; to simulate study scenarios.
Fluent English is essential. The selected candidate must reside in São Paulo during the duration of the scholarship. Time of PhD scholarship: 18 months.
This opportunity is open to candidates of any nationality. The selected candidate will receive a Post-Doctoral fellowship from the São Paulo Research Foundation (FAPESP) in the amount of R$ 12,000.00 monthly and a research contingency fund, equivalent to 10% of the annual value of the fellowship which should be spent on items directly related to the research activity.

We are looking for a highly motivated post-doctoral researcher to join us at the Computational HydroSystems (CHS) Group at the Helmholtz Centre for Environmental Research GmbH - UFZ (Leipzig, Germany) to work on the DFG-funded project “XEROS: eXtreme EuRopean drOughtS: Multimodel synthesis of past, present and future events”. XEROS is a part of a bilateral German-Czech project in collaboration with the Czech University of Life Sciences in Prague - CULS.
The XEROS project aims at
(1) assessing the extremity of recent European drought events in the perspective of long (i.e., 500-year) benchmark period;
(2) improving the process understanding of drought genesis; finally
(3) enhancing the reliability of future hydro-climatic projections.
The underlying analysis will employ a multi-model reconstruction of hydrologic variables using the palaeoclimatic reconstructed driving data. Current state-of-the-art hydrologic/land surface models will be used to estimate spatio-temporal dynamics of the surface and subsurface water component. This will enable an improved understanding of historical characterisation of large-scale drought events and exploratory analysis of the governing atmospheric parameters influencing the genesis of droughts. The XEROS project builds upon a modelling infrastructure which has been recently established across Europe by CHS and CULS teams.
The candidate should have a Ph.D. degree in hydrology/environmental sciences, physics, or climatology. Additionally, the candidate should have very good programming and scripting skills, sound experience in modelling the complex interaction of land-surface hydrologic processes, strong scientific background in statistical analysis of hydrologic and climate variability as well as experience in writing scientific publications.
The closing date for applications is 3 March 2019.
Duration of the project is 36-months.

We are looking for a motivated PhD student in sedimentology with a focus on shallow marine clastic deposits. The proposed research addresses how these sedimentary rocks can record environmental conditions in the past. The project will involve intensive fieldwork in Switzerland, computational analyses of sedimentary bedform morphometries, and a strong interest for process-sedimentology. We particularly aim at quantifying the sizes of waves and the strengths of tidal currents recorded by the 20 Ma-old sedimentary structures (wave ripples, crossbeds, grain size) in the Molasse foreland basin adjacent to the Swiss Alps.
The tasks include logging of sedimentological sections, measuring of sedimentary structures and bedforms, reconstructions of facies relationships and applications of concepts in paleo-hydraulics to reconstruct the wave climate and tidal strengths recorded by the 20 Ma-old sediments. The PhD student will receive a strong training in field observations, facies analyasis, computational sedimentology and statistics. The project is based at the University of Bern, but a semester at Imperial College London is also foreseen.
The PhD student will be supervised by Prof. F. Schlunegger, University of Bern, and Prof. A. Whittaker, Imperial College London.

'''Ideal candidate:'''<br>

The candidate should also have soft skills such as flexibility and adaptability in the workplace, ability to address work challenges, interacting with others, working in teams, working in open, multicultural and flexible environments, mastering the tools for communication, dissemination and public speaking
'''Research Focus:'''<br>
This proposed research is aimed to investigate the impact of current and future changes of precipitation regimes and land use on runoff and flow propagation processes at large scale. This broad topic requires investigations on the state of the art of statistical hydrology for extreme events but also how it can be coupled with the current physically based (or physics-informed machine learning) methods for rainfall-runoff and flow propagation models and how these frameworks can be enhanced by the synergistic adoption of in situ measurements and remotely sensed data for large scale (e.g. regional or at multi-basin scale) assessments. The research topic will also adopt a probabilistic framework to investigate on how uncertainties related to statistical hydrology (e.g. synthetic rainfall events changing through time), as respect to other uncertainties related to measurements of the input variables (e.g. uncertainties in rainfall/flow measurements), model parameters and model structure (e.g. simplification of the physical processes) can impact on prediction of variables of interests such as water levels, water extensions, erosion/deposition processes and potential risks and damages on population and assets
