The Leibniz-Institute of Freshwater Ecology and Inland Fisheries IGB and the Helmholtz-Centre for Environmental Research UFZ invite applications for a 3 year postdoctoral research fellow in tracer-aided water quality and pollution modelling in a hydrological, interconnected network and ecological catchment perspective. The position forms part of a collaboration between the IGB and UFZ and will be linked to the project Modular Observation Solutions for Earth Systems (MOSES) with a focus on hydro-ecological effect chains.

The post is designed to conduct coupled tracer-aided hydrological/water quality and ecological modelling. Qualifications for this position include a Ph.D. in hydrology, ecology, soil science, or a related field of environmental science. The successful candidate will be dynamic and motivated and has experience in the development and application of numerical models for different purposes, across various scales and environmental science contexts. The successful candidate should be experienced in combining process-based understanding with strong numerical / computational skills. Experience with programming is essential. Expertise in remote sensing & data assimilation and / or incorporation of tracers into hydrological models would be advantageous. Other advantageous background includes experience in working in interdisciplinary research projects, and working well in a team environment. Strong English language skills both in oral and written communication are also required.

The post is based jointly at the Leibniz Institute in Berlin and the UFZ Magdeburg, both Germany.

The position is available from 1.09.2019 and limited to 3 years. Interviews will be conducted in the first week of August.
