Aalto University invites applications for a postdoctoral researcher position within the Water and Environmental Engineering Research Group (WAT). The position is related to the Digital Waters (DIWA) Flagship, aimed at securing water for people and ecosystems through sustainable practices and digital solutions. The postdoc will work on DIWA’s Research Theme 5 ‘Transformative Water Management’, focusing on past and future changes in large-scale hydrological conditions.
This open postdoc position focuses on evaluating the impact of climate change on hydrological conditions by utilising global historical data from observations and reanalysis products. The aim is to create a comprehensive hydrometeorological data cube that allows us to compare the trends across areas using machine learning algorithms. The derived results can then be used in assessing future changes in reference areas, by using past trends from "learning areas", with similar overall hydrometeorogical characteristics.
Job Description:
The postdoc will evaluate climate change impacts on hydrological conditions using historical data and machine learning algorithms. They will create a hydrometeorological data cube for trend comparison and assess future changes based on past trends.
