Project leaders and contacts for informal enquiries: Professor Doerthe Tetzlaff (School of Geosciences), Professor Pete Smith (School of Biological Sciences)
The Northern Rivers Institute, School of Geosciences at the University of Aberdeen invites applications for a Research Fellow in Catchment Science. This post is designed to provide research support in environmental tracer applications and coupled hydrological and biogeochemical modelling.
The successful candidate will work at the cutting edge interface between field-based descriptions of catchment hydrological and biogeochemical processes and numerical modeling of water flow and solute transport across scales. Experience with programming in MATLAB, R or another software development tool is essential. The candidate should be exceptional in combining field experimental skills with numerical / computational skills. In addition, experience with incorporation of tracers into hydrological models would be advantageous. The post is based at the University of Aberdeen but involves travel to field sites in Canada as well. The opportunity offers significant potential for professional growth and exposure in Europe and North America.
