2 PhD positions in computational geosciences: Numerical modelling of karstic systems

Data Science #geology #karst #computational science #water science

You are seeking an exciting PhD project focused on groundwater modelling issues with high scientific and societal relevance. The ideal candidate will have an interest and/or experience in geosciences and quantitative methods. They should be motivated and enthusiastic about advancing numerical tools to model groundwater behaviour in karstic aquifers and the formation processes of these systems (speleogenesis) using reactive transport approaches.

Karstic systems are widespread, providing freshwater resources to about 15% of the world population. These systems are among the most complex aquifers, highly vulnerable to contamination and climate change impacts such as droughts and floods.

We are a multidisciplinary research team funded by the European Research Council, comprising physicists, mathematicians, computer scientists, and hydrogeologists from Spain, France, Canada, Slovenia, and Switzerland. Our goal is to develop novel models for groundwater flow and solute transport in karst systems at multiple scales, based on strong physical principles, utilizing field, laboratory, and numerical experiments. We are looking for two young researchers to join our team, focusing on the numerical modeling aspects.

Qualifications

• Master's degree in geosciences, physics, applied mathematics, computational sciences, engineering sciences, hydrogeology, civil engineering, or a related field.

Competences

• Proficiency in English
• Experience in scientific programming (Python) and computational methods
• Interest in interdisciplinary and collaborative research
• Previous experience related to karst systems is a plus
