Dr. Akash Koppa's lab at the Department of Environmental Science and Technology at the University of Maryland, College Park is seeking a motivated PhD student to start in Fall 2025. The student will work on answering fundamental research questions related to how drylands form.
Project Denoscription: A rapidly warming climate is expected to accelerate this dryland expansion. Consequently, not only will societies face permanent water insecurity, but plant and animal biodiversity will be under threat. Despite these consequences, very little is known about the physical mechanisms which cause irreversible long-term drying of humid regions. An unexplored mechanistic pathway is how land–atmosphere feedbacks in local and upwind areas modulate the expansion and formation of drylands. Interested candidates are referred to Koppa et al. (2024), Science for preliminary evidence of the role land–atmosphere feedbacks in dryland expansion.
Role Denoscription: The student will work on a) coupling a Lagrangian atmospheric transport model with Earth system model simulations, b) developing a novel mathematical framework to decompose the source of drying into its moisture and heat origins, and c) using the aforementioned tools to develop a novel theory of dryland formation from a land–climate feedback perspective.
Preferred Qualifications: The successful candidate should a) have a Bachelors and/Masters degree in a related field (e.g. environmental science, climate science, Earth science, civil engineering), b) have experience in developing algorithms for exploratory data analysis in a programming language of their choice, c) have prior experience in numerical modeling.
Application: Interested students are requested to send the following materials to Dr. Akash Koppa (akash.koppa@epfl.ch and akash.koppa90@gmail.com) with 'PhD position on land–climate interactions in drylands' as the subject matter:
A motivation letter (less than 600 words) addressing the following questions: a) why do you want to do a PhD?, b) why are you interested in this particular research topic?, and c) how will you leverage your education and experiences in approaching the research problem?
A detailed curriculum vitae with unofficial trannoscripts.
Applications will be reviewed on a rolling basis. Informal interviews will be conducted between November 15–30, 2024. The successful candidate will have to apply to the graduate program in the Department Environmental Science & Technology at the University of Maryland, College Park before December 15th 2024.

Postdoctoral Researcher in developing digital tools for peatland restoration monitoring
to join us in Water, Energy and Environmental Engineering Research Unit at Faculty of Technology. DigiPeat project develops digital tools for peatland restoration monitoring that will support digital and green transition in restoration actions. By digitalizing processes and changes spatially and temporally, we assess and project the effects of peatland restoration on topography, vegetation, hydrology, and biogeochemistry. The project participates in documenting the first national intensive peatland restoration monitoring site with high spatio-temporal resolution. Digitalization will increase the acceptability and efficiency of peatland restoration and help to improve the peatland restoration success estimates. DigiPeat is Kvantum-institute Spearhead-project and is done together with Geography Research Unit.
Postdoctoral researcher task denoscription
The postdoctoral researcher will (1) use high-resolution hydrological and aquatic biogeochemistry monitoring data to evaluate peatland restoration impact, (2) Improve hydrological and biogeochemical modelling in peatland restoration cases, (3) Improve restoration success estimates for hydrological function and leaching in restored peatlands, and (4) make a synthesis on how high-resolution digital tools to can improve monitor of peatland functioning.
These work tasks will primarily focus on data processing and analysis, numerical modelling and written reporting of the work, but there can be some fieldwork related to high-frequency data collection and background data collection for numerical modelling purposes. There is a possibility for a research visit hosted by our collaborators in Germany or Scotland.

Overview: The HydroEcology of Anthropogenic Landscapes group (HEAL), led by Sam Zipper, is looking for an experienced researcher to take a leadership role on hydrologic decision support projects related to agricultural water use practices in irrigated landscapes. Initial focal areas for this position will include: (i) advancing the use of remotely sensed Earth observation data (i.e., OpenET) to support farm and water management decision-making, and (ii) developing and applying coupled socio-hydrological modeling tools that can be used to quantify the impacts of different management strategies on water resources. This work will contribute to multiple externally funded projects from NASA, NSF, USDA, FFAR, and the state of Kansas and include opportunities to develop new projects.
Ultimately, this position is expected to work closely with stakeholders and decision-makers to identify decision support needs, conduct applied research to help identify data products and models that can help improve their decision-making processes, and identify and develop funding proposals to support the development and maintenance of these decision-support practices. Therefore, the ideal candidate will have strong technical skills related to programming-based geospatial analysis (in Python, R, or similar languages), experience working with remotely sensed data, grant-writing experience, and a strong interested in applied, interdisciplinary research projects.
The HEAL group (https://www.samzipper.com) is part of the Kansas Geological Survey and the Department of Geology at the University of Kansas and includes a collaborative group of students, postdocs, and other research staff on these projects. Beyond KGS/KU, this researcher will work with research collaborators at Kansas State University, Virginia Tech, the University of Manchester, other universities, and stakeholders across the state and region.
Salary/benefits: Expected salary of $75,000 to $85,000 annually, depending on experience and qualifications. Other benefits include university staff privileges; up to 176 hours of paid vacation earned per year, 96 hours of sick leave earned per year, and nine paid holidays plus one discretionary day annually; group medical and dental insurance, life and disability insurance, and retirement program options.
Start date: Flexible, spring/summer 2025 preferred.
Position term: This position is contingent on funding. There is currently funding in-hand to support at least 30 months, and the expectation is that the individual hired to this position will work closely with Dr. Zipper to develop additional proposals for continued funding support.
Application: For more details and to apply: https://employment.ku.edu/jobs/staff/hydrologic-decision-support-researcher/29258br
Application review will begin on December 16, 2024.

We have a vacancy for a temporary Researcher position to conduct Earth System Modeling in the topic of land-based Carbon Dioxide Removal (CDR) using the Norwegian Earth System Model.
The position will be part of the Horizon Europe project RESCUE (https://rescue-climate.eu/), which comprises a large model intercomparison project to quantify the Earth system response to pathways achieving climate neutrality by CDR deployment. A special focus lies on Earth system feedbacks and aspects of reversibility and environmental risks under scenarios of temperature overshoot. The position will involve conduct simulations with the Norwegian Earth System Model, NorESM, perform analysis of multiple models, with a focus on the carbon cycle and the effects of afforestation and bioenergy with carbon capture and storage. The position offers the chance to be part of a dynamic team working at the frontier of Earth system science. The team is strongly involved in large international collaborations such as CMIP and IPCC.
Please visit (https://www.jobbnorge.no/en/available-jobs/job/269906/researcher-in-modelling-land-based-cdr-using-noresm) for more information and submitting the application. Please note that any applications sent via email will not be processed.
Also note that we will consider applications from researchers at PhD level as well as skilled researchers at MS level.
Deadline for the application is 22Nov2024. Best regards, Helene Muri and Hanna Lee.
