Postdoc position (Laboratory of Catchment Hydrology and Geomoprhology, EPFL)

École polytechnique fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL)

Sion, Switzerland 🇨🇭

The Catchment Hydrology and Geomorphology Lab led by Prof. Sara Bonetti at EPFL in Sion is looking for a postdoctoral researcher in the area of hybrid ecohydrological modeling.

Specific tasks will include:

  • Building surrogate emulators for several components of the Tethys-Chloris model.
  • Testing and benchmarking of emulators against reference models and experimental data.
  • Quantifying accuracy, stability, and efficiency of the developed schemes.
  • Overseeing model deployment (i.e., integration of emulators in the project’s modeling ecosystem).
  • Ensuring code maintenance (i.e., ensure maintainable and well-documented code and collaborate with the rest of the team to support reproducibility and reusability).
  • Assessing model uncertainty and performing sensitivity analyses.

Modeling and quantitative skills are a prerequisite for this position.
