Two Postdoctoral Researcher Positions in Delta Science at DELTA-HUB

Open Call: Two Postdoctoral Researcher Positions in Delta Science at DELTA-HUB

We are excited to announce a unique opportunity to join the DELTA-HUB team at the University of Bucharest.

We are currently accepting applications for two Postdoctoral Researcher positions funded by the Horizon Europe ERA Chair project. This is an exceptional opportunity to conduct high-impact research in the heart of Europe’s most dynamic delta system—the Danube Delta.

Successful candidates will work closely with ERA Chair Prof. Edward Anthony and our research team at the Sfântu Gheorghe Marine and Fluvial Research Station. You will also benefit from collaboration with our International Advisory Board members from institutions such as NASA JPL, TU Delft, Deltares, and the Tyndall Centre.

The Positions

We are looking for motivated researchers for two distinct profiles:

Position 1: SWOT Data & Global Delta Analysis

You will focus on developing new data products from SWOT and NISAR satellite missions, conducting global-scale analysis of delta dynamics, and studying water connectivity and sediment interactions.

Position 2: Field Data Analysis & Model Calibration

You will bridge observations with numerical modelling by processing data from hydrodynamic and sediment sensors, developing calibration relationships, and validating models (Delft3D, MIKE21).

What We Offer

Contract: 2-year contract starting Spring-Summer 2026
Salary: Competitive remuneration of €4,000/month (gross)
Environment: A hands-on research environment combining satellite remote sensing, in-situ measurements, and numerical modelling, with direct access to the Danube Delta
Support: Funding for fieldwork campaigns, international conference travel, and training opportunities
