Postdoctoral Research Officer in Hydrodynamic Modelling

Applications are invited for a Postdoctoral Research Officer in Hydrodynamic Modelling in the School of Ocean Sciences working on a Royal Society-funded project focussing on "Extremes in Brazilian Amazon lakes and its implications for social-ecological systems".

Duties will include leading a modelling-focused work package aimed at stimulating the hydrodynamic and thermal response of lakes in the Amazon to climate change, addressing parameters such as water level and water temperature across the Amazon basin. This work will involve the development and application of advanced process-based models, machine learning techniques, or an integrated approach combining both.

Candidates should possess a PhD in relevant subject e.g. Earth Sciences, Hydrology, Data Science, Limnology, Glaciology or related field, or be close to completion, and be experienced in working with large geospatial datasets from multiple sources.

The successful candidate will be expected to commence as soon as possible, and the post is available for a duration of 2 years. As part of the role there will be an opportunity for the successful candidate to travel to the Amazon and gain hands-on experience of environmental monitoring.

This role will be located on campus at Menai Bridge. Through our Dynamic Working framework, there will also be the option to spend some time working remotely (although remaining in the UK) to support work life balance, which will be discussed further with candidates at interview.

Applications will also be considered to carry out this role on a part-time or job share basis.
