Postdoctoral researcher in coastal ocean modelling

[Olbert, Indiana]

A great opportunity for a postdoctoral researcher to join the EcoHydroInformatics Research Group(EHIRG) at the University of Galway, Ireland. We are looking for an enthusiastic and motivated Postdoctoral Researcher to work on developing hydrodynamic models of Irish estuaries.

This position is funded by Met Éireann and is available immediately. The currently available funding will support a full-time 1.5 year (18 month) Postdoc/Research Associate position with potential for an extension, subject to funding. 

 

Project Description:  

Extensive research exists demonstrating that flooding has increased in frequency in recent decades, fuelling concern that climate change is already influencing flood risk. Projected increases in rainfall, sea level and storm winds are likely to escalate the risk of flooding in the future. There is an urgent need to better understand the dynamics of floods and to provide adequate measures and methods to manage flood risks effectively and efficiently today and for the future. In this context, the aim of this research project is to develop and test a novel flood forecasting and decision-making system for an urban area subject to frequent compound coastal-fluvial floods.
