We invite applications for a 3 year postdoctoral research fellow in hydrological modelling (80%) in a hydrological and ecological catchment perspective. The position is part of the Einstein Research Unit “Climate and Water under Change (CliWaC)”, which is a transdisciplinary research initiative of the Berlin University Alliance to address water-related risks under climate change. CliWaC will bring together social and natural science as well as practical expertise from stakeholders to support the governance of mitigation and adaptation measures in response to climate change. Further job announcements of CliWaC will be published at: www.cliwac.de/jobs
We seek a dynamic, motivated and ambitious scientist to join an existing interdisciplinary science and modelling team on Landscape Ecohydrology to support the evolution and growth of coupled climate-hydrological-ecohydrological modelling. It is expected that the modelling will utilise outstanding long-term data sets from instrumented research sites in Brandenburg and Berlin. The successful candidate will have 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. Access to high-performance computer clusters is available to facilitate use and development of “state of the art” research models.
The successful candidate will have:
Other advantageous attributes might include:
The position is available from 01.01.2021 and limited to 3 years. Salary is paid according to the TVöD for E13 (80% position).
