We seek a PhD student for the research project "Blue Transition - How to make my region climate resilient". The project is financed by the EU Interreg North Sea Region and Sweden Water Research. The project team consists of experts in groundwater resources and applied geophysics, and is a collaboration between universities, government agencies, water supply companies, river water councils, etc. The PhD student will work with monitoring of hydrogeological processes in the ground through geoelectrical measurements, in natural ground and in connection with MAR (managed aquifer recharge).
The investigation area will be in the south of Sweden, in particular in the Vomb Trough area and in the Bolmen area. In both areas, a monitoring system will be installed which will run for several years. This will be accompanied with geophysical measurements in adjacent areas, which may include ground based, air- and water-borne geophysical data acquisition. The data should then also be used to develop resp. improve the hydrogeological model. In parallel to the geophysical measurements, also hydrogeological, geochemical and microbiological investigations will be made to provide reference data to interpret the geophysical properties. Furthermore supporting laboratory investigations are conceivable.

We seek a postdoctoral researcher with interest in flood hazards and science communication research to join an interdisciplinary team at the University of Vermont (UVM) on a NOAA-funded project to investigate how new flood warning tools will be interpreted and used by multiple public audiences. The researcher will be a key contributor to a mixed-methods research effort to understand how local stakeholders from different sectors (e.g., local officials, small business owners, homeowners, community services) currently receive, interpret, and use existing flood information and to explore new communications approaches that build on new NOAA-developed flood inundation map forecast products. Potential end-users for such data likely differ in significant ways from known users (e.g., emergency managers) and it is currently unclear how data presented with varying complexity, precision, and utility for decision-making may impact comprehension, trust, and flood safety action across user groups.
The ideal candidate will have a PhD that has given them exposure to both social and physical science approaches relevant to flood risk communication. Strong skills in qualitative data analysis are essential, and we strongly prefer candidates with experience with focus group facilitation and recruiting community-based stakeholder participants. Candidates should be able to demonstrate comfort working in interdisciplinary, collaborative research teams. Qualified candidates could come from multiple disciplines of study, but research experience resulting in publications on risk communication, natural hazards, and/or flooding are especially desirable.
This project is part of UVM’s contribution to the Cooperative Institute for Research to Operations in Hydrology (CIROH) and the post-doctoral scholar will collaborate with researchers at project partner RTI International, and benefit from interactions with other faculty, post-doctoral scholars, and students working on a variety of CIROH-funded projects at UVM and other participating institutions. UVM is a top research university that prioritizes transdisciplinary research and collaboration as a strategy for continued strengthening of scientific inquiry and education. Burlington perennially appears on national rankings that laud its livability, access to nature and recreation, thriving food and music scene, and a rising identity as a technology and innovation hub.
The postdoc will be co-supervised by UVM faculty Anne Jefferson (Anne.Jefferson@uvm.edu) and Elizabeth Doran (Elizabeth.Doran@uvm.edu). Please contact them for more information.
The anticipated start date is September 1, 2023, but there is flexibility for the ideal candidate. A remote position may be possible, but occasional travel is required. Review of applications will begin June 1 and continue until the position is filled.
To apply: please send a CV, cover letter outlining research interests and expertise, and contact information for two references to ciroh@uvm.edu and reference position ID PDS#301.
We seek a postdoctoral researcher with interest in stormwater, climate change, and how communities are adapting their stormwater management strategies (e.g., green stormwater infrastructure, design standards) to changing precipitation and temperature patterns.

The postdoctoral researcher will be the lead SWMM modeler on the project.
Qualified candidates could come from multiple disciplines of study, but candidates should be able to demonstrate comfort working in interdisciplinary, collaborative research teams. The ideal candidate will have a PhD that has given them experience with hydrologic modeling in SWMM, along with some background in working with climate model outputs and/or water quality data. The ideal candidate will also have some exposure to and interest in social science approaches and community engaged research. If you meet some, but not all, of these ideals, we encourage you to apply, highlighting your strengths and areas where you are interested in growing as a researcher.
