Two Postdoctoral positions

(i) Ecohydrologist in tracer-aided, ecohydrological modeling (m/f/d)

(ii) Postdoctoral Researcher in enhanced modeling of coupled ecosystem feedbacks in peatlands (m/f/d)

The research group “Landscape Ecohydrology”, led by Prof Doerthe Tetzlaff, in the Department of Ecohydrology & Biogeochemistry of IGB (Leibniz Institute for Freshwater Ecology and Inland Fisheries) in Berlin is inviting applications for two Postdoctoral Researcher Positions (each 24 months, with the possibility of extension, fulltime with less % possible) starting from 1.4.2025. The project is part of a major project funded by the German Research Foundation (DFG) “WETSCAPES2.0: Sinks, links and legacies of novel ecosystems in rewetted fen landscapes”.WETSCAPES2.0 combines expertise from University of Greifswald, University of Rostock, the IGB Berlin, GFZ Potsdam, LUM München, the MPI for Biogeochemistry Jena and the Humboldt-University Berlin. Focus of WETSCAPES2.0 is the functional understanding of rewetted fens, including coastal peatlands. For more details about the overarching research questions, specific topics, training program and contact persons please visit http://www.uni-greifswald.de/wetscapes2.

Position ONE aims to advance and test the capacity of process-based, tracer-aided, ecohydrological modeling frameworks and investigate the hydrological functioning of rewetted fens from the plot scale up to the landscape scale in terms of spatial patterns and temporal dynamics of water storage, pathways and release. For this, we will integrate tracer approaches of stable water isotopes (deuterium, oxygen) and water chemistry linked within advanced tracer-aided models. Please check the specific roles and profile requirements here:

Position I:

https://karriere-igb.softgarden.io/job/51931898/Ecohydrologist-in-tracer-aided,-ecohydrological-modeling-m-f-d-?jobDbPVId=174921233&l=en

Position II aims to quantify physical and biogeochemical process-interactions and feedbacks between peatlands, their landscapes and beyond and to identify challenges and uncertainties in quantifying these feedbacks at larger and across scales via multiple, integrated approaches. This project is a close collaboration between IGB, University of Greifswald and LMU Muenich.We seek a dynamic, motivated and ambitious young scientist to join existing interdisciplinary science and modelling teams at IGB to support use of tracer-aided ecohydrological modelling in peatlands linking this to land surface models. Research visits to LUM Muenich and University Greifswald are supported. Please check the specific roles and profile requirements here:

Position II:

Starting in January 2025, I will join Texas A&M U as a faculty member in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering.
 TAMU will provide funds to renovate and expand the existing Fluid Dynamics Laboratory that Prof. Kuang-an Chang and colleagues in the Coastal Engineering group have already established. The wind-wave-current flume is the centrepiece of the Laboratory.  We  plan to enhance flume’s capabilities and conduct small-scale experiments in air-sea interactions. We will also investigate various wind wave theories and develop wind-wave-current models.
 I am currently recruiting 2 PhD students and 2 postdocs to work with me and my colleagues at TAMU. For PhD students, the candidates should have already had some experiences in conducting academic research in the relevant areas, which could be either theoretical (numerical) or experimental research. For the postdocs, it is essential that the candidates can demonstrate his/her ability of conducting independent and original research.  The quality of the research results out-weights the number of published papers. Again, the candidate could be trained as a theoretician, a numerical analyst or an experimentalist.
 If you are interested in academic research in the general area of wind-wave-current interactions, feel free to contact me at philiplfliu@gmail.com. To expedite the review process, please send me your CV and representative publications (if any).

For the dissertation focus, we seek a candidate who can merge physics-based with machine learning techniques that quantify changing surface properties and slope stability in alpine and other frozen-ground regions, particularly in southern and central Alaska and in New England. We will develop the specific research project after the student is on board. We expect candidates to show evidence of their ability or promise to:

Use machine learning on watershed-scale multi-faceted datasets

Manage data effectively

Apply continuum mechanics to explore stress and material behavior under changing climate conditions to landscape evolution

Perform geologic and geophysical field research in cold environments

Work collaboratively in a group setting

Effectively communicate in written, graphical, and oral forms

Dear all,

Two post-doctoral fellowship programs are currently open for
applications in Brest - France:

https://en.ifremer.fr/Research-Technology/Scientific-strategy/Join-Ifremer-for-your-Post-Doc
(application deadline: 27th of January 2025)

https://isblue.fr/tous-les-appels/post-doctoral-fellowship/ (application
deadline: 31st of March 2025)


On behalf of the Marine Hydrodynamics Laboratory of IFREMER, I invite
potential applicants interested in the following topics to contact me
(alan.tassin@ifremer.fr) in order to discuss about a potential research
project in line with our research interests :

- Marine Hydrodynamics
- Marine Renewable Energy technologies (Offshore and floating wind,
Tidal energy, Wave energy converters)
- Hydroelasticity
- Met-ocean conditions and climate change impact on Marine Renewable
Energy (ressource assesment and design)

Our research activity is oriented towards the development of innovative
experimental approaches in relation with the experimental facilities of
Ifremer in Brest (a deep-water wave tank, a wave and current flume, a
wave flume and a small-scale sea test site):
https://rd-technologiques.ifremer.fr/R-D-Technologiques/Laboratoires-et-Service/Laboratoire-Hydrodynamique-Marine-LHyMar.
Applicants with a numerical background and interested in developing
tools to support the experimental work (e.g. numerical wave tank,
numerical wave-structure interaction models) are also welcome.

The aim of these fellowships is to attract talented young researchers
from other countries (see the mobility rules) for a research stay of 2
to 3 years and to initiate collaborations with international research
groups (typically the group where the applicant has worked before). The
same research project can be submitted to both fellowship programs, if
the eligibility conditions are fulfilled.

Note that these two fellowship programs are competitive and therefore
applicants should have a good track record of publication (minimum 2 to
3 research articles during his/her PhD).

Would you mind forwarding this e-mail to potential applicants?


Thank you in advance for your help.

Best regards,
Alan Tassin
