PhD student in real-time post-processing of Flood Forecasts in Alpine Space
vor 2 Monaten
The Swiss Federal Institute for Forest, Snow and Landscape Research WSL is part of the ETH Domain. Approximately 600 people work on the sustainable use and protection of the environment and on the handling of natural hazards.
The Research Unit Mountain Hydrology and Mass Movements develops hydrological forecast systems. Floods remain a major threat for people and infrastructure in Switzerland. As part of the GLORI-A (Global-to-Regional ICON Alpine Twin) initiative, MeteoSwiss is developing a digital twin of the earth weather system with increased resolution over the Alpine region. WSL will support MeteoSwiss in estimating added values of on-demand weather forecasts for anticipation of impactful floods in the Alps. We are looking for a PhD student starting in January or February 2025.
Position OverviewYou are a brilliant graduate with an interest in flood hazard research and operational hydrometeorological forecasting chains. Applicants are expected to have a background in hydrological model output, with a strong background in programming (R, Python). We presume advanced statistical skills, preferably with previous work on probabilistic forecasts. You will work on methods to evaluate in real-time the quality of ongoing impactful weather and hydrological events. You will develop and evaluate storylines to assess the added value of a configurable Digital Twin of the European Alps and hydrological impact models for Switzerland. You will interact with stakeholders to identify their needs to increase confidence in decision-making about mitigation measures during floods. You will publish your findings in scientific journals.
You hold a master’s degree from a technical university and have focused your academic education in environmental sciences, earth sciences, or applied mathematics. You are familiar with the Alpine area. Your workplace will be at WSL (Birmensdorf) with frequent exchanges with MeteoSwiss (Zürich Airport). You will be supervised by a scientist responsible for the project at both WSL and MeteoSwiss. You are highly motivated to apply your know-how to solve current scientific questions and contribute to future flood forecasting tools. You are fluent in English and preferably have some experience in writing and publishing scientific work. You will be enrolled at ETH.
Please send your complete application to Beatrice Lamprecht, Human Resources WSL, by December 13, 2024, at the latest by uploading the requested documents via our website. Applications via email will not be considered. Dr. Massimiliano Zappa will be happy to answer any questions or offer further information. WSL is committed to diversity and inclusion as core values. We actively promote gender equality and foster an open, inclusive work environment.
