The position is part of the Water Resources System Safe Operating Space in a Changing Climate and Society (SOS-Water) Horizon Europe research project funded by the European Commission. SOS-Water aims to create the foundation for a holistic and participatory assessment framework to operationalize and downscale the global freshwater Safe Operating Space (SOS) to the continental and river basin levels, and to ultimately streamline water planning and management across different spatial scales. Specifically, the project coordinated by IIASA is developed in collaboration with 10 European partners along with Stanford University and will focus on:
- Test and evaluate the SOS on different spatial scales and case studies
- Explore the multiple sources of uncertainty affecting the SOS
- Identify robust policies and correspondingly the main vulnerabilities
To contribute to the overall project, the successful candidate will help delineate a safe operating space for the Mekong River in South East Asia. Qualifications for this position include a Ph.D. in water resources engineering, hydrology, or a related field of environmental engineering or physical geography. Candidates with an interdisciplinary background and demonstrated interest in linking hydrology and engineering with other biophysical aspects of rivers (e.g., fish, sediment, coastal resilience), or across domains in the water, energy food nexus, are particularly encouraged to apply.
A successful candidate will demonstrate strong numerical and computational skills, oral and written communication English language skills, and publication history in peer-reviewed journals.
Remuneration is negotiable based on the experience of the candidate.
The application package must include CV, list of publications, and the name of two references. Deadline for the package submission: 31 October 2022.
Applications must be sent to Professor Andrea Castelletti (andrea.castelletti@polimi.it) and Dr. Rafael Schmitt (rschmitt@stanford.edu)
