'''Project Aims and Methods'''<br>
Little is known about the regional expression of climate change within rainfall fields at high spatial and temporal resolution, yet this information is critical for understanding catchment and regional responses to climate change and the regional water balance. This studentship will utilise large hydrometeorological datasets at continental scale to explore trends in key precipitation variables including storm intensity, duration, time between storms, and evaporative demand. These data on climatic forcing will be contextualized with in situ time series of water fluxes and storage at or near the Earth’s surface in order to link climate change to its hydrological impacts on land. There will also be opportunities to model the links between climate and hydrology and to explore how they might be expected to change under future climate.
'''Supervisorial Team'''<br>
You will be joining an established and well-funded group of collaborating academics with active research groups spanning Cardiff and Bristol, who have deep interests in the links between climate (including climate change) and land surface and subsurface hydrology.
'''Candidate Profile'''<br>
The successful candidate will have degree in geography, geology, engineering, and/or mathematics and will have a strong foundational background in hydrology and/or climate science. Experience with coding (e.g., Python) and large datasets is desirable, and additional training will be provided as necessary. Interest in climatology, climate change and hydrological processes. Most of all, you should be self-motivated, intellectually curious, and interested in climate change and water.
'''Training and Career Development Opportunities'''<br>
You will have opportunities to learn new skills in formal and informal settings and the training programme will be tailored to your needs/interests in line with the goals of the project. The supervisory team will work to connect you to a wider network of researchers and stakeholders to enhance opportunities to continue in academia or seek employment upon completion of the PhD. You will also be supported to present your research at international conferences and publish your work in the peer review literature.
'''Funding'''<br>
The PhD studentship covers Cardiff University fees and a stipend of ~£15K/year for 3.5 years. It also includes all expenses related to travel for fieldwork and to attend/present at international conferences.

Applicants are invited for two Post-Doctoral Fellows to undertake field, modelling and conceptual research to advance our understanding and numerical description of physical hydrological processes that operate in cold regions. The PDFs will be supervised by Professor John Pomeroy at the USask Coldwater Laboratory, Canmore, Alberta, and near to the spectacular and well instrumented Canadian Rockies Hydrological Observatory. The Coldwater Lab is a group of scientists, students, modellers and field technicians studying the hydrology of high mountain and downstream environments around the world as part of the Canada Research Chair in Water Resources and Climate Change, the UNESCO Chair in Mountain Water Sustainability, as part of studies supported by the Global Water Futures programme, Alberta Innovates and NOAA’s CIROH. www.usask.ca/hydrology
PDF1 (https://usask.csod.com/ux/ats/careersite/14/home/requisition/11632) will undertake research on mountain snow and glacier hydrological processes in sub-alpine forested basins of the Canadian Rocky Mountains. This will take advantage of the instrumented sites in the Canadian Rockies Hydrological Observatory, drone-based LiDAR remote sensing, hydrological models set up with CRHM, CHM and MESH in the Bow River Basin, high resolution atmospheric models and other information. The overall goal is to further develop process algorithms to improve model realisations in the region in order to improve predictions of future water supply availability under climate change. Specific objectives are to better understand the snow distribution and melt processes governing runoff generation; and the impacts of land cover change on snow processes, water storage and transmission.
PDF2 (https://usask.csod.com/ux/ats/careersite/14/home/requisition/11616) will undertake research to improve the representation of physical processes to improve the extent that model simulations mimic our conceptual understanding of dominant processes across different environments. In some cases, this entails coupling process components that have hitherto been neglected in large-domain models (e.g., glacier hydrology, snow redistribution, connectivity of wetlands, land-atmosphere interactions over sparse forests, tile drainage, etc.); in other cases, this entails further development of process algorithms to improve their applicability across a wide range of environments.

We invites applications for a PhD position in the frame of the project APOC focussing on the organic carbon cycle in the North Sea Ecosystem. APOC is a collaborative project with an interdisciplinary team of researchers from several German Marine Research Institutes, which combines Observations and Modelling activities to understand changes in the marine carbon cycle under increasing anthropogenic pressures. The aim of the PhD project is to apply a coupled hydrodynamics-morphodynamics-biogeochemistry model to investigate the path of particulate organic carbon (POC) from source to sink including flocculation and deflocculation between biogenic and lithogenic particles, deposition and resuspension, and POC degradation during transport and sedimentation. In particular, anthropogenic impacts such as resuspension by bottom trawling, altered fluvial POC inputs by damming, channel dredging, sand mining and dumping need be addressed by numerical modeling. The position is limited to 36 months.
Your tasks:
* calibration and validation of a coupled hydrodynamics-morphodynamics-biogeochemistry model for the North Sea with regard to the SPM/POC dynamics
* model application to investigate seasonal and annual variability of POC cycling and sequestration in the North Sea sediments
* conducting sensitivity experiments and hindcast simulations to quantify the effectiveness of individual management measures
* analysis and assessment of model results with respect to POC fluxes between the sediment-water interface and carbon sequestration
* implementation and analysis of relevant climate projection scenarios
* working as an integrative part of a motivated multidisciplinary team within the institute and external academic partners
* writing scientific publications in peer reviewed journals
* presentation of results at meetings and international conferences
Your profile:
* Master in physical oceanography, geosciences, environmental sciences or related disciplines
* knowledge on sediment dynamics and marine ecosystem
* interest in coastal shelf modelling
* experience in scientific programming with FORTRAN and related analysing programming languages (e.g. MATLAB, R, Python) would be an advantage
* knowledge of English (written and oral)
* good communication skills and ability to work in an interdisciplinary team of various fields of geosciences
We offer you:
* multinational work environment with over 1,000 colleagues from more than 50 nations
* extensive options of vocational training (i. a. expert seminars, language courses or leadership seminars)
* flexible working hours and various models to ensure the compatibility of family and career
* excellent infrastructure, including a scientific in-house library as well as modern work spaces
* remuneration according to the standards of the collective wage agreement TV-AVH including further social benefits
* employee Assistance Program (EAP)
* Welcome office, guesthouses
* company canteen
Severely disabled persons and those equaling severely disabled persons who are equally suitable for the position will be considered preferentially within the framework of legal requirements.
Interested? Then we are looking forward to receiving your comprehensive application documents (cover letter, CV, transcripts, certificates etc.) indicating the reference number 2021/KS 7. Application deadline: June 27th, 2021.
Applications are invited for Postdoctoral Research Associate position on the dynamics of sediment-laden gravity currents; the post is part of the University of Leeds, University of Hull and University College Dublin joint industry project the Turbidites Research Group (www.trg.leeds.ac.uk).
The PDRA will join the TRG, based at the world-leading Energy and Environment Institute, University of Hull, working directly with Dr Robert Dorrell and indirectly with TRG Principal Investigator Prof. W.D. McCaffrey (University of Leeds) and Co-Investigators Dr L. Amy (University College Dublin) and Dr A.D. McArthur (University of Leeds). Through the post the PDRA will seek to develop new theoretical and numerical models to describe the interplay between Coriolis (and centrifugal) induced cross-slope secondary flow and downslope flow dynamics. The research into the dynamics of downslope sediment-laden gravity currents, i.e. turbidity currents, and cross-slope flows, i.e. thermohaline flows, is motivated by the need to understand sedimentary records of palaeo-environments. There will be the opportunity to validate models against experiments and real-world data.
In the Energy and Environment Institute the PDRA will join a dynamic Environmental Fluid Dynamics group led by Dr Robert Dorrell, >20 PhD, PDRA and staff, which covers fundamental fluid mechanics, renewable energy, environmental and industrial flows. The post is for an initial 2-years and has no teaching duties; however, the PDRA will be involved in mentoring PhD students and supported in independent research development to enhance their professional experience. Further, the PDRA will engage with, and be given opportunity to support, wider fluid dynamics research across the TRG partner universities.
The successful applicant will have extensive experience in theoretical or numerical models of sediment transport or gravity-current dynamics. The candidate should have (or be about to obtain) a PhD in mathematics, engineering, oceanography, or a related discipline. The candidate will have an established, or developing, research profile, including peer-reviewed publications. Experience in supervision and mentoring of graduate students, and experimental fluid dynamics, would be advantageous.
'''Specific Duties and Responsibilities of the post'''<br>
The PDRA will develop theoretical and numerical models of gravity current and cross-slope flow interaction. Through the research the PDRA will interface with larger interdisciplinary teams: the Turbidites Research Group and the Environmental Fluid Dynamics group. The position requires expertise in theoretical or numerical fluid dynamics. In addition, the position requires excellent scientific communication, presentation and writing skills, as well as problem-solving skills.
In your covering letter please refer directly to the criteria given in the person specification below. Applications are assessed by the selection panel according to these criteria.
For any questions, or to discuss this role further, please contact Dr Robert Dorrell r.dorrell@hull.ac.uk
