*STOCKHOLM UNIVERSITY CLIMATE RESEARCH ENVIRONMENT (SUCLIM)*
*TWO-YEAR POSTDOCTORAL POSITION IN DISTRIBUTED MODELLING OF HYDROLOGICAL AND
BIOGEOCHEMICAL FLUX DYNAMICS IN COLD REGIONS at the Department of Physical Geography and Quaternary Geology, Stockholm University
(ref.no. 618-1272-07) *
*The Stockholm University Climate Research program (SUCLIM)* is an externally funded 10-year research program bringing together the climate research expertise in four departments. We are building a strong and coherent research environment focusing on five cross-disciplinary core themes; climate variability, atmospheric and ocean circulation, boundary conditions for circulation system modelling, hydrological and biogeochemical cycles, and small-scale processes with large-scale impacts.
We are now recruiting a postdoctoral scientist to work within the SUCLIM environment on distributed modelling of coupled hydrological, carbon and other climate-relevant biogeochemical flux dynamics in cold regions. Research will explore the mechanisms of hydrological- biogeochemical cycling change under a changing climate, in terms of both the hydrological flow and physical mass transport processes through the coupled groundwater and stream network systems of whole catchments/drainage basins, and the biogeochemical processes and resulting coupled transport-reaction processes and fluxes along the hydrological transport pathways through these systems, towards
catchment outlets and coastal waters. The work will be carried out in collaboration with hydrologists, hydrogeologists and solute transport-reaction modellers from the Dept. of Physical Geography and Quaternary Geology, geochemists from the Dept. of Geology and Geochemistry, biogeochemists from the Dept. of Applied Environmental Science, and meteorologists and climate modellers from the Dept. of Meteorology.
Applicants must have a PhD in Earth system science, hydrology, quantitative biogeochemistry, or related field, with significant experience in computer modelling. Previous experience in spatially explicit coupled hydrological- biogeochemical modelling is preferred. Candidates should also be strong in GIS, remote sensing, database management, and computer programming languages, with an interest in exploring the hydrological- biogeochemical properties of the coupled groundwater- stream network systems of drainage basins that are affected by snow/ice, glaciers or permafrost.
