Job vacancy – Postdoc in Computational Hydro-morphology
Louise Slater
Dear All,
We are seeking a Postdoctoral Research Associate with interests in computational flood hydrology and geomorphology to work full time over 2 years on a newly funded NERC project “EvoFLOOD: The evolution of global flood hazard and risk”. For details of the position, see: https://bit.ly/3tx2FUL
The EvoFLOOD project is a 5 year collaborative endeavour across 9 Universities that will produce a major advance in the science of predicting global flood hazard and risk by representing the dynamic evolution of river channels and their floodplains within Global Flood Models (GFMs). To achieve this aim the EvoFLOOD team will be appointing a total of 9 Researchers during the life of the project covering many aspects of geomorphology, hydrology and numerical modelling.
Here, the successful candidate will be responsible for undertaking analyses of large-scale hydro-climatological and geomorphological datasets, with a view to establishing how bankfull flow and floodplain inundation frequency vary globally, and estimating the relative influence of hydrological and morphodynamic change on global flood frequency.
They will hold, or be close to completion of a PhD/DPhil with experience or interests in hydro-climatology and/or geomorphology, and will possess strong open-source coding skills, such as R and Python. Applications are particularly welcome from candidates who identify as female or BAME, who are under-represented in academic posts in Oxford.
Applications for this vacancy are to be made online by 12.00 noon (GMT) on Friday 12 March 2021. Interviews will be held in late March 2021.
I would be grateful if you could please share this advert with anyone who might be interested.
Please feel free to reach out to me if you have any questions!
With many thanks,
