Postdoctoral Research Officer in Freshwater Ecosystem Modelling

Applications are invited for a Postdoctoral Research Officer in Freshwater Ecosystem Modelling in the School of Ocean Sciences, on the RESETLakes ("Remote Sensing of Tipping Lakes") project focusing on identifying and characterising historic and future risk associated with tipping points in lakes.

Duties will include investigating the dynamics of tipping points in lake ecosystems in response to climate change and other environmental factors. This position will be primarily responsible for leading cutting-edge research that aims to model these tipping points, with a particular emphasis on understanding how specific environmental variables, detected through Earth observation data, interact to influence the health and stability of freshwater systems.

Candidates should be educated to PhD level in relevant subject (Earth Sciences, Hydrology, Data Science, Limnology, or closely related field) or be close to the completion of and have experience working with large geospatial datasets from multiple sources and experience with programming languages such as Matlab/R/Python.

The successful candidate will be expected to start as soon as possible, with the position available for an initial duration of 11 months. Extension may be possible, depending on funding.
