From CSDMS
2-year post-doc: Digital twins in Water Resources and River Basins
University of Oulu, , Finland
Apply before: 1 March 2022


We are opening a 2-year position for a Postdoctoral researcher


for research on creating and fusion of digital twins of river basins. We are looking for a talented and motivated Postdoctoral scientist dedicated to combining high resolution field research (high frequency sensors, 3D lidar mapping, etc), multi-scale environmental data and data fusion analysis. Work is led by assistant processor Hannu Marttila as part of Hydrology and Water Quality -research group.


Job description
You will work on research tasks in a Green-Digi-Basin project funded by Academy of Finland and linked to National Freshwater Competence Center Hydro-RDI-network (https://hydrordi.com/). Hydro-RDI is a consortium formed by the University of Turku, University of Oulu, the Finnish Environment Institute, Aalto University and Finnish Geospatial institute besides several private companies. Hydro-RDI gathers the highest competence in hydrological Research, Development, and Infrastructure in Finland. It is funded by the Academy of Finland through three projects: The Hydro-RDI network, Hydro – RI platform and the Green-Digi-Basin. Education, Infrastructure, Research, Development, and Innovation within Hydro-RDI is shared among all partners.


What we expect
The objective of the Green-Digi-Basin project is to create highly accurate thematic digital replicas of the river basins, called Digital Twins. The Digital Twins will help measure, model and predict environmental change and human impact, in order to develop and test scenarios that would support sustainable development, and digital and green transition in river basin management. The successful candidate will join the team formed from several national institutes and develop different components in river basin Digital Twins, namely physical parametrizations of land, hydrology and river processes. Major emphasis will be on the data fusion and assimilation of various high resolution data sets and improving the modelling of these aspects at high-resolution to enable a more realistic representation of the real world.
