Postdoc with experience in stochastic modeling, data assimilation or conditional simulation, and a background in hydro-geology. <Tübingen, Germany>
Water & Earth System Science Research Institute
The Universities of Tübingen, Hohenheim, Stuttgart and the Helmholtz-Centre for Environmental Research – UFZ, Leipzig, have recently founded the Water & Earth System Science Research Institute , located in Tübingen, Baden-Württemberg. The joint research centre focuses on the impact of changing environmental conditions on the water cycle as well as on the fate of pollutants and nutrients in water, soil and aquifers at the catchment scale.
Increased models complexity leads to rising data needs for parameter inference, prediction confidence in stochastic simulation and model verification. These needs should be met rationally, goal-oriented and cost-effectively with data. Given the vast variety of novel exploration and data acquisition techniques, this triggers the need for optimal design of monitoring networks and site exploration schemes. Here, WESS is searching for a
Postdoc with experience in stochastic modeling, data assimilation or conditional simulation, and a background in hydrology to take the scientific leadership of the work package "From Measurements to Modeling and Model-Based Optimization of Monitoring", driving the development and application of new ideas in optimal design of monitoring and exploration, and assessing the information needs of integrated large-scale models. The focus is on catchment-scale models of individual compartments, especially the subsurface, or models coupled with surface waters, vegetation and the atmosphere. A PhD in Civil and Environmental Engineering, Earth Sciences, Mathematics, Physics, or comparable achievements is required, a background in stochastic modelling or data assimilation is beneficial.
A successful candidate is expected to have developed his/her own research profile. The position can be filled immediately. Appointment will be for three years, extension of contract is possible. Work place is Tübingen. Salary will be according to the German public service . In case of equal qualification and experience physically challenged applicants are given preference. The WESS partner institutions aim at increasing the share of women in research and teaching and encourage female scientists to apply.
