We invite applications for a PhD position in Hydrology at the Department of Hydrology and Atmospheric Sciences at the University of Arizona. The graduate student will participate in an NSF-funded project on “Hydrologic closure relationships at different levels of hillslope model complexity”.
'''The project:'''
* Addresses the challenge of predictions of subsurface water flow and solute transport at scales of hillslopes and catchments. Issues at these scales arise from unknown heterogeneity of subsurface properties and simplified representation of the flow and transport dynamics. Within hydrologic models these simplifications require closure relationships (representing the aggregated small-scale physics) that vary in time and space.
* Aims to find and explain temporally changing closure relationships at the hillslope scale for two different levels of model complexity: (i) system-scale closure relationships, e.g., transit time distributions and the storage-discharge relationship, and (ii) simplified process-based representation of coupled unsaturated and saturated zone.
* Will gain novel insights into the closure relationships, e.g., their temporal variability and their connection to other hydrologic variables, by combining recent methodological advances, namely (i) new data-based approaches to determine transit time distributions and the storage-discharge relationship, (ii) data assimilation, and (iii) machine learning methods.
* Will utilize data collected from recent experiments at the Landscape Evolution Observatory (LEO) hillslopes at Biosphere 2 and real-world data from a well-equipped zero-order basin.
The graduate student will closely interact with an international team of researchers working on this project and will have the opportunity to participate in outreach communication with the public through Biosphere 2, a major tourist attraction in the region.
The ideal candidate will have a strong background in hydrologic modeling or subsurface hydrology, as well as excellent programing and communication skills. Experience with machine learning methods is desirable.
The position will remain open until filled and begin either Fall 2021 or Spring 2022.
If you are interested in this position or if you have any questions about this position, please contact Peter A. Troch (patroch@arizona.edu). We strongly encourage applications from veterans, individuals with disabilities, women, minorities, and members of other underrepresented groups.
We invite applications for a PhD position available in the field of Hydrology at the University of Colorado Boulder. The graduate student will participate in an interdisciplinary research project that will explore the interactions between hydrologic processes, human water-use, and economic-driven water trade. The coupling between these natural and societal components will be examined across a range of climate conditions, with a focus on drought. The candidate will use both hydrologic modeling and observations to test hypotheses that quantify feedbacks between the hydrologic cycle and economics. This project will include opportunities to collaborate with economists, interact with regional stakeholders, and provide exposure to science in an industry setting.
The position can be housed in either the department of Geological Sciences, or the department of Civil, Environmental, and Architectural Engineering. Majors in engineering, earth sciences, physics, or related fields are required. Experience in mathematical modeling and experimental work is desired.
The position will remain open until fulfilled. The target start date is Fall 2020, but a later date can be arranged.
If interested in the position or for more information, please contact Dr. Ben Livneh (ben.livneh@colorado.edu), including your CV and a brief cover letter explaining your interest in this position. +

We invite applications for two PhD student positions. The positions are funded by the German Research Foundation (DFG) project “Using advances in stable water isotopy to quantify species- and interspecific ecohydrological feedback processes and water transit times of different tree stands” and will be located at the Chair of Hydrology and Chair of Ecosystem Physiology at the University of Freiburg, Germany.
Significant changes in hydrological extremes are predicted to increase in occurrence and severity in the future. Understanding the complex linkages and interactions between precipitation inputs, water storage in the soil, as well as recharge and runoff is still a major challenge in ecohydrology. Distinct plant species differ significantly in their water use strategies. Detailed knowledge on species-specific alterations of soil infiltration, hydraulic redistribution, and root-water uptake dynamics will become important under future climatic conditions and the development of adaptation strategies for a sustainable forest ecosystem management. Thus, the central aim of our project is to quantify temporal dynamics at the soil-tree interface and how they influence water flow through the ecohydrological cycle using stable water isotopy. We will combine high spatial resolution of isotopic, hydrometric, classical and novel plant eco-physiological measurements with continuous long-term monitoring. A special focus will be on unravelling the ages of water within the different ecohydrological compartments and estimate the response and transit times of water within different tree stands via ecohydrological modelling.
Within the project, PhD student 1 will focus on tree-soil feedbacks and the investigation of seasonal dynamics of ecosystems’ water sources and related species-specific effects. PhD student 2 will mainly focus on setting up the ecohydrological model and simulate the relevant ecohydrological processes with regard to species- and interspecific impacts on water response and transit times. Both PhD students will work together in the field for the innovative data collection.
Applicants should have a MSc degree (or equiv.) in hydrology, environmental science, plant physiology, ecology, engineering or a closely related field. Particular experience in plant ecophysiological field observations and knowledge on plant water relations and stable water isotope ecology is an asset for PhD student 1. Experience in handling larger data sets is a bonus. Knowledge in statistical data analysis and in environmental modeling, preferably ecohydrological modeling, is essential for PhD student 2. Experience in water isotope related modelling will be an asset. We encourage applications from enthusiastic dedicated individuals with strong quantitative skills as well as good writing and communication skills in English. Candidates should be willing to conduct physically demanding field work over several days at a nearby forest, show team spirit, flexibility, high motivation and the ability to work independently. Candidates should hold a driving license.
We offer an interdisciplinary, international working environment within the Faculty of Environment and Natural Resources of the University of Freiburg including a graduate school program (www.gs.esgc.uni-freiburg.de). The PhD positions will be advised by Prof. Dr. Christiane Werner and Dr. Maren Dubbert (PhD student 1) and Dr. Natalie Orlowski and Prof. Dr. Markus Weiler (PhD student 2). Collaboration and co-advising by local and international partners (such as Prof. Dr. Jeff McDonnell, University of Saskatchewan, Canada) is foreseen.
The file should include a cover and motivation letter stating which of the two positions you are interested in, CV, certificate & transcript of your highest degree earned, an example of your own scientific writing (thesis or paper in English, if available), and the names and contact details of at least two persons who will be able to provide references on demand
We invite excellent young researchers to apply for a postdoctoral position focused on machine learning for flood and drought modeling under climate change.

We offer a 3 year PhD project on “Ecohydrological sources of urban moisture re-cycling and atmospheric cooling”.
This project is part of the DFG Research Training Group "Urban Water Interfaces (UWI)". There is still a lack of knowledge of spatial variability in evaporation and transpiration from urban areas and crucially, where this water is sourced from, particularly in urban green space. This doctoral thesis will use isotope-based approaches to enhance our understanding of ecohydrological fluxes at multiple spatial scales. By monitoring temporal changes in the isotopic composition in urban rainfall, atmospheric vapour, subsurface water and plant xylem, a quantification of urban water partitioning can be achieved. The doctoral researcher will utilise field-deployable analysers for direct in-situ monitoring of the isotope composition of soil water, plant xylem and evaporated moisture. This will help understand what types of land cover best enhance moisture fluxes back to the atmosphere, and the density and type of vegetation cover needed to have a significant cooling effect, whilst not compromising groundwater recharge.
We seek dynamic, motivated applicants with a very good degree (Master or equivalent) in hydrology, environmental science, geosciences, environmental engineering, or a related field. Fluency in English is a requirement. The candidate should be have experience in advanced field techniques in ecohydrology, in statistical analysis and numerical modelling, and GIS methods. Experience in environmental tracer applications might be advantageous. There will be a close collaboration with project with project W6 and the University of Aberdeen.
Supervisors: Prof. Doerthe Tetzlaff (IGB & HU Berlin), Prof Chris Soulsby (University of Aberdeen), Birgit Kleinschmit (TU Berlin)
Host organization: IGB Leibniz Institute of Freshwater Ecology & Inland Fisheries, and Humboldt-University zu Berlin (the PhD will be registered at Humboldt-University zu Berlin)
Enquiries: Prof. Doerthe Tetzlaff, d.tetzlaff@igb-berlin.de
