3+3 years postdoc position in large-scale water resources modeling at TU Dresden (Germany)

[Andreas Hartmann]

Dear colleagues,

 

Large-scale water resources assessment has become more and more important in recent years. This is due to the emerging need (1) to understand and quantify interactions between the world’s water resources and climate/land-use changes, (2) to inform water policy in an increasingly globalized world, and (3) to create visualizations and interactive opportunities to educate local and global populations (Gleeson et al. 2021). In most large-scale modeling studies, groundwater, the world’s largest source of drinking water, is represented with strong simplifications mainly due to a lack of observations (Wagener et al., 2021).

 

The aim of 3-year this postdoc position (extendable for another 3 years) is to contribute to the improvement of groundwater processes in large-scale models through advancing (conceptual) model development and model evaluation at regional to global scales using data beyond the typical groundwater level observations or discharge observations.

 

Please find more details about the position and the application procedure at https://tu-dresden.de/stellenausschreibung/9086. Submission deadline for applications is **January 19, 2022**.

 

Please contact me for any questions.

 

Best wishes,

Andreas
