Scientist (f­­/­­m­­/­­x) - Water Quality Modelling

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
