We are now looking for a
Postdoctoral Researcher in remote sensing and hydrological/snow modelling
for a 3-year fixed-term position to join us in the Faculty of Technology, Water, Energy and Environmental Engineering Unit.
About the job
We are seeking a postdoctoral researcher to join our team to study changes and patterns in hydrology, snow and microclimates across Arctic, boreal and alpine ecosystems. The Postdoc will utilise and develop advanced mechanistic and deep-learning models with fine-resolution satellite imagery and empirical microclimate datasets to understand and predict the localised effects of climate change or human impacts on cold climate ecosystems and biodiversity.
The postdoctoral position is linked to large-scale and long-term research in the water sector at the Flagship DIWA - Digital Waters, and SAFIRE - Safeguarding Biodiversity through Interdisciplinary Research on Habitat Restoration- a Profi8 programme at the University of Oulu, funded by the Research Council Finland. SAFIRE's focus is the production of scientifically excellent and actionable knowledge on habitat restoration, especially in Arctic regions. The position is located at the Water, Energy and Environmental Engineering research unit, in the Faculty of Technology. Our water research team includes 4 research groups with a strong focus on various aspects of water engineering, including hydrological modelling, cold climate hydrology, hydrological process studies, and groundwater
