Please find information on an opening for a 3-year postdoctoral fellow at Stockholm University on the hydroclimatic ecosystem services of wetlandscapes.

https://www.su.se/english/about-the-university/work-at-su/available-jobs?rmpage=job&rmjob=24750&rmlang=UK

Closing date: 10 January 2025.

The candidate will work on the project Disclosing the Overlooked Wetlandscape Ecosystem Services (DOWES), funded by the Water4All 2023 Joint Transnational Call on Aquatic Ecosystem Services. The main objective of DOWES is to resolve the interlinkages between water availability in wetlandscapes, their responses and stressors, and the provision of ecosystem services within and beyond their area of influence through synthesis across important wetlandscapes in Sweden, Italy, the United Kingdom, Brazil, and Colombia. While wetlands are ecosystems with permanent or temporary, static or flowing waters, wetlandscapes are systems of wetlands that are hydraulically, hydrologically, and ecologically connected. A wetlandscape can comprise large regions with different wetland bodies connected by groundwater or surface flows and, in turn, include more ecosystems, land covers, and communities in the landscape.

DOWES will, in five work packages, address the main objective across six iconic wetlandscape ecosystems. The first determines high-resolution changes in the hydrological regime using the latest radar and altimetric missions. The second relates water availability to wetlandscape ecosystem responses and stressors. The third develops a participatory approach to identify perceptions of potential cultural ecosystem services. The fourth adds a layer of complexity by quantifying the provision of ecosystem services of wetlandscapes beyond the area of influence. Finally, the fifth work package combines these four to develop metrics and guidelines to track and quantify the provision of wetlandscape ecosystem services.

The postdoc employed by this call will focus on either of the work packages 1 and 4 of DOWES, that is,

WP1: Quantifying changes in water availability with space-base technologies such as altimetry, InSAR, Gravimetry and SWOT, and

WP4: Quantifying hydrological and hydroclimatic ecosystem services of wetlandscapes with hydrological, hydroclimatic modeling and moisture tracking. These ecosystem services include water regulation, water supply by moisture to downwind regions, embedded water in products and services, and local and regional climate regulation.

💡 PhD opportunities! 💡
Are you interested in how computer models in water management shape policy and vice versa? Do you want to contribute to societally relevant research in the field of water management for case studies across three countries? Do you want to be part of an interdisciplinary research team?

We have two PhD-positions open now for applications, related to my ERC-LEGIT project: How the legitimacy of water-management models as decision support tools gets established. One position focuses on the social, political and institutional context, while the second is on scrutinising the model itself through extensive sensitivity analysis. Apply through the links below!

Dear All,


I am seeking motivated master graduated interested in working in areas related to Snow modelling, Po River basin hydrology, Soil-plant-atmosphere interactions and GEOframe system development. Below are some exciting thesis opportunities, each with potential for continuation into a Ph.D. program. Post doc positions could be considered as well for appropriate persons.

This topic focuses on snow dynamics modeling using GEOframe-NewAGE and GEOtop, within the SUNSET PRIN project (Details). Opportunities include fieldwork, guided by Prof. Stefano Ferraris (University of Turin), with Dr. John Mohd Wani as co-supervisor.

2. Po River Basin Projects (ADBPo Collaboration)

The Po River Basin thesis topics align with the long-term collaboration with the Basin Authority of River Po (Details). These projects could lead to Ph.D. opportunities and professional roles.

Topics include:

- Modeling Romagna Catchments for Drought and Flood Prevention
Focused on hourly-scale modeling for water management.
- Co-Supervisor: Ing. Gaia Roati (Po Basin Authority)
- Includes periods at the Po Basin Authority in Parma.
