At the University of Tübingen, we have an open position for a research associate in hydrogeology with a total duration of 6 years (2 times 3 years). This position is similar to an assistant professorship, but does not come with a professor title. While different specializations within hydrogeology are possible as the research profile of the position, we prefer candidates with a strong background in reactive-transport modeling. See the attached file. +
At the Water & Climate Risk department at IVM – VU Amsterdam we are looking for a new colleague to strengthen our drought and socio-hydrological modelling research.

Berkeley Lab’s Earth and Environmental Sciences Area (EESA) has an opening for a Postdoctoral Fellow to focus on reactive transport modeling at the watershed scale.
In this role, you will quantify bi-directional exchange pathways and biogeochemical processes across river corridor subsystems (i.e. hyporheic zones, off-channel wetlands, and floodplains). These subsystems are identifiable as unique systems that allow bi-directional exchange between river channels and nearby sediments. Additionally, you will develop scaling constructs to estimate geochemical exports from these unique subsystems and estimate individual impacts on river water quality across scales.
EESA is advancing and integrating diverse expertise to accelerate scientific discoveries and their translation into scalable solutions that simultaneously sustain the Earth’s environment and the growing need for energy and water resources.
'''What You Will Do:'''<br>
* Develop and apply hydrological and reactive transport models to enhance process understanding at the large scale.
* Aggregate and integrate diverse data into numerical models to identify the underlying processes.
* Collaborate with experimental hydrologists and geochemists to improve predictive capabilities for hydro-biogeochemical processes.
* Develop uncertainty quantification tools and upscaling algorithms.
* Perform data-model integration and analysis with the use of high-performance computing.
* Identify and develop new research areas and proposals.
* Engage as a member of a large, multidisciplinary research team that includes geochemists, hydrologists, and computational scientists.
* Author peer-reviewed journal articles and technical reports.
'''What is Required:'''<br>
* Ph.D. in Civil or Environmental Engineering, Geochemistry, Hydrology, or equivalent discipline.
* Substantial knowledge and experience in modeling microbially-mediated biogeochemical reaction networks coupled to flow and transport.
* Substantial knowledge and experience in high-performance computing including parallel simulation and large dataset analysis and manipulation.
* Ability to identify and develop new research areas and proposals.
* Ability to collaborate with a multidisciplinary team of scientists.
* Excellent written and oral communication skills and a proven track record of publishing in high-impact journals.

Boston University is seeking a postdoctoral researcher to model coastline evolution in Massachusetts, USA. The postdoctoral researcher will use the numerical models Delft3D and SWAN to determine sediment transport dynamics along an energetic indented shoreline characterized by a tidal inlet, a tombolo, a tidal river mouth and varying levels of human development. The goal of the project is to determine the long-term evolution of a complex shoreline under the effect of sea level rise, with particular emphasis on non-linear feedbacks among landscape units.
The model will be calibrated with extensive field measurements collected by Dr. Duncan Fitzgerald at BU and Dr. Chris Hein at VIMS, with the possibility for the postdoc to participate to the field campaigns. The study area encompasses Horseneck Beach State Reservation (https://www.mass.gov/locations/horseneck-beach-state-reservation) and Allens Pond Wildlife Sanctuary (https://www.massaudubon.org/get-outdoors/wildlife-sanctuaries/allens-pond). This project is a collaboration between BU, VIMS, Woods Hole Group and the Buzzards Bay Coalition.
Knowledge of the Delft3D-SWAN modelling framework, particularly the integrated use of the models, is recommended but not required.
The postdoctoral fellowship will last two years with immediate starting date.
