Scientist (f/m/x) - Water Quality Modelling
Aufgaben:
In a large coordinated project, new ways of thermal use of surface waters are explored by using next-generation heat pumps. As part of the project, in your capacity as a researcher, you will assume a pivotal role in advancing our understanding of the thermal capacity of flowing waters in German rivers. Your main focus will revolve around a comprehensive analysis of contemporary and future river-water temperatures and associated hydro-ecological impacts under changing climate conditions. Your contributions will be integral to the continued development of our integrated modeling system comprising a land-water-climate nexus; and its application and extension to river systems spanning Germany and other neighbouring regions. This position offers a unique opportunity to make a significant impact while working within a supportive, interdisciplinary environment.
- Development and refinement of a water temperature model to simulate the thermal capacity of flowing waters in German rivers
- Implement the model and conduct an assessment of river temperature and resulting hydro-geological impacts under current and future river temperatures under changing climate and socioeconomic scenarios
Across different German rivers
- Collaborate with a multidisciplinary team of researchers within and outside of the project, sharing insights and knowledge to advance the field of river-temperature modeling
- Publish research findings in peer-reviewed journals and present at conferences and project meetings to disseminate knowledge and contribute to academic and scientific communities
Qualifikationen:
- A Ph.D. in a relevant field (e.g., Environmental Earth Sciences, Computational Hydrology, Hydro-informatics, Hydroecocolgy, or a related discipline with emphasis on Mathematics and Physics).
- Strong background in numerical modeling, with expertise in integrated water quantity, and quality, or hydro-ecological modeling.
- Proficiency in relevant domain-specific modeling softwares (e.g., mHM, VIC, PCR-GLOBWB, SWAT, HYPE) and programming languages (e.g., Fortran, C, Python, or similar).
- Excellent analytical and problem-solving skills with a demonstrated ability to work with large datasets (e.g., with NetCDF files in CDO/NCO programs).
- Strong written and verbal communication skills
- Collaborative and adaptable, with the ability to work effectively in a team-oriented research environment.
