From CSDMS
Two Postdoctoral Researcher positions at the Centre for Water Systems, University of Exeter
University of Exeter, , United Kingdom
Apply before: 25 September 2025


The Centre for Water Systems at University of Exeter is now looking for two postdoctoral researchers to support our research in two EU projects, NATALIE and UrbaQuantum.


For NATALIE project:
https://jobs.exeter.ac.uk/hrpr_webrecruitment/wrd/run/etrec179gf.open?WVID=171839ediw&LANG=USA

The successful applicant will contribute to the project NATALIE by developing AI algorithms that integrate data from various sources to identify patterns and correlations between variables and enhance the understanding the impact of spatiotemporal variables in climatic events. The algorithms will further assess the environmental attributes to identify feasible nature based solutions (NBS) and evaluate their performances to provide decision support.

The successful applicant will focus on applying machine learning technologies to establish a small data approach to ensure data quality and trustworthy for the elaboration and application of data-driven and AI algorithms. This data contextualisation will enable to apply explainable AI to understand physical interrelation and connections between regional impacts and the implementation of the NBS.


For UrbaQuantum project:
https://jobs.exeter.ac.uk/hrpr_webrecruitment/wrd/run/etrec179gf.open?WVID=171839ediw&LANG=USA

The successful applicant will contribute to the project UrbaQuantum to develop hydraulic and water quality modelling approaches to analyse the flow interactions between sewer discharge of surface runoff, as well as the dynamics of pollutants and pathogen propagations associated with water movements.

The successful applicant will focus on expanding the capacity of the Centre for Water Systems’ existing methodologies and models to simulate urban runoff dynamic and water quality, analyse the propagations of flows, pollutants and pathogens within urban environment. The post will also combine hydroinformatics analysis techniques and real-time monitoring data from various sources to predict the performance of sewer network and overflows to support effective management, and develop strategies to control pollutions at sources.


If you know someone with relevant skills and is interested in the above positions, please feel free to forward the email and encourage them to apply for the positions. The application deadline is 10 September 2025.

Thank you very much!
