The post is part of an EPSRC-NSF funded project “CBET-EPSRC: Efficient Surrogate Modelling for Sustainable Management of Complex Seawater Intrusion-Impacted Aquifers”. The project is a collaboration between the University of Sheffield (UK), the University of Texas at El Paso (US), and the University of South Florida (US), with technical support provided by the United States Geological Survey (USGS).
The successful candidate will lead efforts in developing efficient groundwater modeling simulation and optimization frameworks for modeling seawater intrusion in response to sea level rise. The postdoc will be based at the University Sheffield. Required or highly desired computational skills include substantial modeling experience with groundwater modeling (MODFLOW, MT3D, SEAWAT, etc.), programming languages (PYTHON, FORTRAN, etc.), simulation-optimization of groundwater systems, and machine learning methods.
This position is funded for 12 months with the opportunity for extension pending performance and funding availability and includes an annual research and travel budget to support professional development.
The preferred start date is January 2021, with some flexibility for the right candidate. The successful candidate should hold a Ph.D. in civil engineering, water sciences or other STEM related disciplines. For more information, please contact Domenico Bau (d.bau@sheffield.ac.uk).
