Innovation postdoc, unique 4-year opportunity in Oslo!

[John F. Burkhart]

At UiO, together with Statkraft, we are developing a new hydrologic modeling framework. We'd like to couple it more closely

with some 'big data' tools, and potentially Google Earth Engine. Feel free to forward this around!

Regards,

john

A position as Postdoctoral Research Fellow is available at  The 
Department of Geosciences. The appointment is a fulltime position and is 
made for a period of four years of which 75 % is research, with 25% 
compulsory work toward innovation. Together with Statkraft AS, we have 
been developing a new hydrologic modeling framework. The framework, 
known as "Shyft" is available on github, licensed under under LGPL V.3. 
The current position is part of an innovation initiative to establish 
products using the framework and the candidate will have collaboration 
opportunities to pursue innovation development.

An emphasis will be placed on the development and improved 
implementation of snow pack algorithms and coupling of algorithms to novel

data sources (for example Google Earth Engine). The ideal candidate will work 
to: (i) Explore spatial relations of snowpack microphysical properties, 
(ii) Develop stochastic parameterizations of snowpack heterogeneities 
appropriate to incorporate into a stochastic layering scheme, (iii) 
Implement a hybrid snowpack model with stochastic representation of 
layer microphysics which enables assimilation of the tomographic 
observations from UiO's newly develop imaging radar.
