The UFZ is a partner in the World Water Qu … The UFZ is a partner in the World Water Quality Alliance led by UN Environment with the challenging task to compile a World Water Quality Assessment by 2023 on current and future freshwater quality. Part of the process is the development of an Analysis and Service platform within the BMBF funded project GlobeWQ. The UFZ Department of Computational Hydrosystems (CHS) is involved in the model-based assessment of present and future water quality parameters in case study areas (in Europe, America, Africa and Asia).</br></br>PhD position (m/f/x)</br></br>'''Subject:''' Towards improved model-based assessment of regional scale water quality status under current and future conditions</br></br>Project start / start of employment: 01.02.2020 .Working time 65% (25,35 hours per week), limited to 3 years</br></br></br>'''Your tasks:'''<br></br>Excessive nitrate surpluses – arising from large usages of agrochemicals (inorganic fertilizers) – are one of the main problems in agricultural areas, leading to subsurface pollutions (soil and groundwater) and eventually deterioration of the surface/subsurface water quality. Assessing the present level of subsurface contamination and providing future projections require an understanding of legacy components (the past trajectories), hydrologic and biogeochemical turnover processes through both data and mechanistic modeling approaches. To this end, we seek to provide improved system understanding of nitrate turnover process to ultimately improve model-based assessment of water quality status within the GlobeWQ project. Main tasks for this position include:</br>* Collection, processing and harmonization of input datasets for nitrate modelling (e.g., fertilizer, livestock, crop yield, in-stream N-concentration)</br>* Establishment/Enhancement of a nitrate model coupled to the existing multiscale Hydrologic modelling system (mHM).</br>* Understanding/synthesising the past (legacies) and future fate of Nitrate across the different terrestrial compartments (soil/groundwater/surface water).</br>* Active initiation of peer-review papers and preparation of publications as well as reports for the project.</br>* Representation of the project and its research at national and international meetings/conferences (e.g. EGU, AGU).</br></br>'''Your profile:'''<br></br>* Master degree in hydrological or water-related environmental sciences/engineering or Physics, Mathematics or Informatics </br>* Experience in hydrologic modelling activities with knowledge on subsurface biogeochemical (nitrate) processes </br>* Demonstrated programming skills (e.g., Fortran, Python, R) </br>* Ability to work in a multi-cultural environment</br>* Competences in communication, teamwork and scientific synthesis</br>* Excellent written and spoken English skill</br></br>More info.
