The Institute of Geo-Hydroinformatics focuses on creating new knowledge through research and innovation, developing new measurement tools and predictive capabilities to provide accurate understanding of the processes occurring near Earth’s surface. Within this context, this multidisciplinary project will focus on the investigation of the climate change driven sea level rise and its consequences on groundwater hydrology with a particular focus on the shoreline of the Lower Elbe river in Germany.
YOUR TASKS
- Conducting independent and international-class research about climate change and sea level rise, its consequences on groundwater hydrology, saltwater intrusion, and Earth systems modeling in general
- Combining hydrology, big data, and computational tools to advance hydrologic modeling under changing climate and extreme environmental events
- Publishing in peer-reviewed journals and presenting at scientific meetings
- Contributing to preparation of research proposals for external funding applications
- Helping with any other research activities as may be deemed reasonable by the Head of the Institute
- Visiting other universities and institutes for research collaboration if necessary
YOUR PROFILE
- Completed at least a MSc degree in one of the following fields: Environmental engineering, hydrology, geoscience or related disciplines.
- Excellent academic results and recognitions
- Excellent communication skills in both English and German (oral / written)
- Demonstrated experiences with computational hydrology
