Dear colleagues,

We are pleased to share four open PhD positions (f/m/x) within the research cohort "In4Nile – Advancing Water Quality Information in the Nile River Basin" at the Helmholtz Centre for Environmental Research (UFZ) in Leipzig, Germany.

The cohort aims to advance water-quality information in the Nile River Basin through data collection, analysis, and modelling in an interdisciplinary team. The positions span geospatial analysis, chemical pollution assessment, natural-language processing, and basin-scale water-quality modelling, contributing to a better understanding of pollution status, drivers, impacts and possible future scenarios in the Nile Basin.

PhD 1: Spatio-temporal patterns of water quality drivers and pollution pathways (Link)
PhD 2: Analysis and assessment of aquatic chemical pollution in the Nile Basin (Link)
PhD 3: Monitoring water quality impacts using NLP and LLMs (Link)
PhD 4: Multi-pollutant spatially explicit water quality modelling: from historical evolution to future scenario assessments (Link)

📍 Location: Leipzig, Germany
📅 Application deadline: 12 January 2026

We welcome motivated candidates interested in environmental data science, water quality, modelling, machine learning, and interdisciplinary research. Further details for each position, including contact information for questions, can be found in the links above.

We would appreciate your support in circulating this announcement to interested students and colleagues.
