PhD in Hydrology and Hydrogeology - Quantifying how nature-based solutions reduce hydrological risks and contribute to climate change adaptation
Geotop
Water quantity and quality issues in agricultural watersheds are likely to be amplified by climate change. More frequent droughts and heavy rainfall events can influence how water is stored and drained, which can impact how nutrients are transported. Nature-based solutions (NBS), including wetlands, floodplains and forests, are increasingly being considered to mitigate hydrometeorological risks and increase watershed resilience to climate.

SCHOLARSHIP: $25,000/year for four years (additional funding opportunities)

Dear Colleagues,

The University of Auckland (UoA) and National Institute of Water and Atmospheric Research (NIWA) in New Zealand invite applications for a fully-funded PhD position, supported by the newly funded project “AI-enhanced compound flood model for real-time extreme hazard forecasts”.

Project denoscription

An accurate real-time compound (pluvial, coastal and riverine) flood forecast system is urgently required to prepare New Zealanders for future floods due to extreme weather such as ex-Tropical Cyclone Gabrielle in 2023. The research team is working on developing such a system with AI techniques to downscale the flood results to speed up the model while retaining high-resolution output. The compounding effects of storm surges, river flow and heavy rainfall will be investigated to guide better flood management in flood-prone areas.

Offer

The funding for the PhD position is for three years, covering all tuition fees at UoA, a living stipend of 34000 New Zealand dollars per year (tax-free) plus funding for travel, attending conferences and publications.

The PhD candidate will be jointly supervised by Prof. Asaad Shamseldin (UoA) and Dr. Zhonghou Xu (NIWA), with advisors from the broader NIWA family.

The candidate is expected to work with a diverse team, including hydrologists, flood modellers, meteorologists and data scientists from NIWA, UoA and Wuhan University. The candidate will carry out research at UoA Auckland campus and NIWA office in Hamilton.

NIWA is a Crown Research Institute and a leading institution for water and atmospheric research in New Zealand. UoA is a top university in New Zealand, ranking 65 globally in QS 2025.

Profile

We are seeking a motivated PhD candidate with a background in hydrology, urban and/or coastal flood modelling and/or machine learning. Priorities will be given to those who have obtained their Master’s or Honour’s degree with proficient English skills. Knowledge of machine learning is considered advantageous but not required. Experience in scientific programming is needed, e.g., python.

Unless the candidate is exempt from the UoA English language requirement, the minimum English requirement for UoA doctoral enrolment is: IELTS overall 6.5 and no bands below 6 or TOFEL overall 90 with writing 21 (internet-based) or overall 68 with writing 21 (paper-based).

Interested?

Interested applicants can send their CV, academic trannoscripts, publications (if any) and standardised English test results (if any) to zhonghou.xu@niwa.co.nz or a.shamseldin@auckland.ac.nz ASAP and before the closing date of 20 October 2024.

We are seeking a PhD student with a doctoral grant to join a multidisciplinary Horizon Europe project focused on international climate governance. 🍃

If you hold a Master’s degree (or equivalent) in political science, international relations, (international) law, or a related discipline, and have a demonstrated academic research interest in international climate governance, this could be the ideal opportunity for you. 📚

For further details, please visit our website and apply by 15 October 2024: https://lnkd.in/eDMg_76A.

Dear colleagues,


We are inviting applications for a highly motivated Postdoctoral Researcher at NYU Courant and CDS, to work with Prof Laure Zanna at the interface of climate modeling, biogeochemistry and machine learning. The postdoc will be part of a new multi-institution international project, InMOS (Integration of models and observations across scales), which aims to produce a robust global synthesis of the cycling, redistribution, and storage of carbon, oxygen, and heat in the ocean since pre‐industrial times. The goal is to quantify key ocean fluxes of global importance and shed light on the mechanisms driving ocean stressors such as acidification, warming, and deoxygenation.


The position, available immediately, is a full-time appointment, initially for one year, with the possibility of renewal for up to 3 years, subject to satisfactory performance and available funding.


Applications should be uploaded at: http://apply.interfolio.com/153884


I would be grateful if you could share this email with any qualified candidates.
