_*PDRA in Data Assimilation for Urban Flood Inundation Modelling *_
Full-time, fixed term (up to 48 months), Department of Meteorology,
University of Reading, UK
We seek an enthusiastic research scientist for a postdoctoral research
position, funded by the EPSRC project "Data Assimilation for the
Resilient City" (DARE). Data assimilation (DA) is an emerging,
mathematical technique fusing complex computational models with
heterogeneous observations. The objective for the post is to use
advanced DA to create a step-change in skill for numerical predictions
of urban flooding. The post holder will undertake research in data
assimilation for flood inundation modelling, using synthetic aperture
radar data alongside datasets of opportunity such as smartphone
photographs and CCTV.
You will have:
- a PhD or equivalent experience, in a quantitative physical science,
engineering or mathematics.
- Strong analytical and problem solving skills
- Ability to write and adapt computer programs.

PhD Position -- The impact of vegetation changes on soil moisture over
the Dry Chaco
==========
A consortium of the KU Leuven, UC Louvain, Humboldt-Universität zu
Berlin and the National University of Tucuman is seeking highly
qualified and enthusiastic candidates for 3 PhD Positions in Remote
Sensing of Sub-Tropical Forest Degradation and its environmental
impacts. The successful applicants will study forest degradation and its
environmental impacts in the South American Chaco using satellite remote
sensing, modeling and in situ data. The Chaco ecoregion, stretching into
parts of Argentina,Bolivia, and Paraguay, has experienced widespread
land-use change with drastic outcomes for biodiversity and ecosystem
service provisioning. The three positions are embedded in an
international research project focusing on "Continuous satellite-based
indicators for mapping subtropical forestdegradation and its
environmental impacts (ReForcha)".
The PhD position offered at the KU Leuven, in collaboration with UC
Louvain, aims at updating the static climatological vegetation
parameters in state-of-the-art land surface models grouped within a Land
Information System (LIS), using satellite-based dynamic vegetation
information. The candidate will explore the use of ensemble land surface
model simulations to evaluate the effect of dynamic vegetation
information derived from moderate-resolution sensors (such as MODIS) on
soil moisture estimates over the Dry Chaco ecosystem. Furthermore, the
analysis of simulated and independent satellite-observed soil moisture
(e.g. from Sentinel, ASCAT, AMSR-E, SMOS, SMAP) will be aligned with
trend analyses of spectral vegetation indices to identify long-term
phenological changes.
We are searching for an enthusiastic researcher with a keen interest in
remote sensing and land surface processes and eager to work in an
international setting. You will be part of the Department of Earth and
Environmental Sciences at the KU Leuven and the Earth and Life Institute
at the UC Louvain (Belgium) working under the supervision of prof. dr.
ir. Gabrielle De Lannoy, and prof. dr. Veerle Vanacker. As a PhD student
you will be enrolled within the KU Leuven Arenberg Doctoral School for
Science, Engineering & Technology (https://set.kuleuven.be/phd).
Profile
==========
Only applicants with all of the following skills will be considered:
- Master in Civil or Environmental Engineering, Meteorology, Hydrology,
Remotely Sensed Earth Observation, Physics, Mathematics, Geography or
equivalent
- Experience with data-processing applications such as Matlab/Python,
IDL, GrADS, R, or other
- Experience with programming and scientific computing
- Excellent motivation and grades
- Creative,critical, analytical and innovative mindset
- Ability to work independently
- Excellent written and oral communication skills in English
Offer
==========
- Fully funded PhD scholarship for 4 years; support and training through
the Arenberg Doctoral School (https://set.kuleuven.be/phd)
- Multi-disciplinary and international professional environment
- Leuven is a charming historical university town, located in the heart
of Western Europe
Interested?
==========
Applicants should submit their resume, along with a motivation letter
and two names for possible references on-line (mandatory). The starting
date is January 1, 2016, but can be negotiated. For more information
please contact prof. dr. ir. Gabrielle De Lannoy, tel.: +32 16 37 67 13,
mail: gabrielle[dot]delannoy[at]kuleuven[dot]be or prof. dr. Veerle
Vanacker, tel +32 10 478506, e-mail:
