Postdoctoral researcher position
Ihre Aufgaben:
- Apply the newly developed coupled climate and water modelling tool to investigate the current and projected effects of large-scale water management. The main objective is to focus on the societal, economic and environmental impacts of different water management and climate adaptation strategies.
- Support the development of the regional water resources model coupled with the regional climate model REMO.
- Develop new, end-user-driven scenarios that follow different narratives and enable a systematic assessment of climate sensitivities of varying water use and adaptation strategies.
- Develop tailored storyline-based scenarios and model experiments based on end-user needs.
- Identify relevant end-users and stakeholders (stakeholder mapping).
- Engage in and organize end-user workshops and stakeholder events to identify their visions and needs to be incorporated in scenario and model development.
- Support the co-development of guidance documents that foster the routine implementation of water use in a climate modelling context.
- Representation of the group and GERICS at scientific and societal relevant conferences, workshops, and meetings; and compiling scientific and technical publications of the findings in related international peer-reviewed research journals.
Das bringen Sie mit:
- A university degree and PhD in environmental or climate sciences or other related natural and earth science disciplines is essential.
- Excellent knowledge in understanding and assessing global change impacts, preferably focusing on the water sector.
- Background knowledge of (regional) climate modelling, hydrological processes, and their interaction with the climate system is beneficial.
- Prior experience in stakeholder engagement, capacity building and/or methods for designing the dialogue with end-users is beneficial.
- Proficiency in programming languages like Python is essential.
- Experience with software version control systems such as git, familiarity with Linux/Unix computer environments, and experience with high-performance computing facilities are beneficial.
- Excellent written and oral communication skills in English.
- An appropriate record of peer-reviewed publications to demonstrate the skill to publish the work in scientific journals is essential.
- Experience in education and supervision of students and PhDs is beneficial.
- Willingness to work in an international and interdisciplinary team at the Climate Service Center Germany.
- Interest beyond the pure scientific analysis of data and processes is expected as the focus of our center is on the provision of decision-making knowledge.
