Postdoctoral Researcher to Model Non-perennial

vor 1 Woche

Lausanne, Waadt, Schweiz EPFL Vollzeit

EPFL, the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Lausanne, is one of the most dynamic university campuses in Europe and ranks among the top 20 universities worldwide.

The EPFL employs more than 6,000 people supporting the three main missions of the institutions:
education, research and innovation.

The EPFL campus offers an exceptional working environment at the heart of a community of more than 16,000 people, including over 12,000 students and 4,000 researchers from more than 120 different countries.


  • The Watershed Research Lab at the Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL) is seeking a postdoctoral researcher to model nonperennial stream networks in Swiss headwater catchments.
  • Stream networks are important flow pathways along which water transports solutes and sediments, and thus are essential for local and regional biodiversity. Field observations in headwater catchments have shown that many loworder streams are nonperennial, depending on hydroclimatic factors and on the catchments' landscape and subsurface characteristics. As a result, headwater stream networks expand and contract over time. The spatial extent and associated water and solute fluxes of these transient stream networks are not yet well modelled, thus making it difficult to predict potential ecohydrological impacts of landuse management and climate change on headwater tributaries.
    postdoctoral researcher to model nonperennial stream networks in Swiss headwater catchments.
:

Your mission

:


In the TempAqua project, we collect novel, high-frequency measurements of water and solute fluxes in different catchments to gain detailed insights into the mechanistic links between non-perennial stream networks and catchment hydrological, biogeochemical and ecological processes.

The postdoctoral researcher will implement this process understanding into a functional model, and identify those channel reaches that are likely to permanently fall dry under future climate change, thus providing important information for targeted monitoring and protection of headwater ecosystems.


Main duties and responsibilities include

:

  • Implement a spatiallydistributed representation of the changing linkages between surface and subsurface hydrological processes and the associated stream network geometry into a mechanistic modelling framework
  • Model the shortterm changes of flowing stream length and discharge at our study sites under current and future climatic conditions
  • Test the upscaling
- and transferability capability of the model

Your profile

:

  • PhD in hydrology, hydrogeology, environmental sciences or engineering, or a related field
  • Experience in spatiallydistributed hydrological modelling
  • Independence, innovative thinking, efficient working style
  • Interest in getting involved in teaching and supervising activities (PhD and MSc students)

We offer

:

  • A worldclass research and training environment at EPFL Lausanne with access to stateoftheart research facilities
  • Additional affiliation with the Swiss Federal Research Institute for Forest, Snow and Landscape research (WSL) in Birmensdorf near Zurich
  • Collaborations with watershed hydrologists, ecohydrologists and hydrological modelers at both institutes
  • A flexible working schedule (parttime possible)
  • Highly competitive salary
