Swiss Federal Institute for Forest, Snow and Landscape Research WSL
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 group Dynamic Macroecology of Dr. Niklaus E. Zimmermann studies questions related to spatial ecology, macroevolution and biodiversity conservation. For this group, we are looking for the duration of **1 year**, from **spring 2024**, for a
PostDoc in Land Surface Modelling of Mountain Systems 80% (f/m/d)
as part of the WSL project EMERGE (Extreme droughts in mountain regions: consequences for blue-green water fluxes), which aims at assessing the consequences of extreme drought on the environment and in Switzerland. EMERGE is one of five projects of the WSL program Extremes (2021-2025). The program, fosters inter
- and transdisciplinary research to equip Swiss stakeholders with appropriate decision-making tools and coping strategies addressing future extremes. Within EMERGE, this position will generate simulations at the scale of the entire Switzerland of the natural environment responses to the measures adopted for the transition, using a land surface model forced with new extremes climate scenarios produced by the ETH Climate Physics group of Prof Reto Knutti. At WSL, you will work in close collaboration with Prof Zimmermann’s group to include cryosphere-biosphere interactions in the model simulations. In addition, you will closely collaborate with Prof Pellicciotti, ISTA, Viena, the leader of the EMERGE project. As a postdoc, your main place of work will be the Swiss Federal Research Institute WSL in Birmensdorf, and you will regularly visit ISTA in Vienna.
You hold a PhD degree with a solid expert knowledge in (geo-)physics, environmental engineering, physical hydrology, environmental sciences, atmospheric sciences, or a related field. Previous experience in computer modelling and scripting languages (e.g. Python, IDL, Matlab, R) is indispensable. Experience with remote sensing, large datasets, and with the hydry-biogeochemical process model Tethys-Chloris are strong assets. The capability to develop new ideas independently is necessary, as are very good English skills (both written and oral). You are a curious, self-reliant person who is also an excellent team worker and values cooperation.
