Description du poste

Permanent Researcher Position in Quantitative Hydrogeology

Employer: Centre for Studies and Expertise on Risks, the Environment, Mobility and Urban Planning (Cerema)

Context

The Cerema is a public Institution focused on supporting public policies in the areas of planning, territorial cohesion, and ecological and energy transition. It operates under the dual supervision of the Ministry of Ecological Transition, Biodiversity, Forests, Seas and Fisheries and the Ministry of Spatial Planning and Decentralization. With cross-disciplinary expertise, multidisciplinary skills, and a strong potential for innovation and research, Cerema’s main missions are to promote and facilitate innovations for territories, to contribute to the development of best practices in the respect of territorial concerns, to mobilize knowledge, scientific and technical expertise, and to find innovative solutions for the ecological transition.

Cerema’s expertise spans six major areas of activity: territorial engineering, building, mobility, transport infrastructure, environment and risks, and sea and coastline. Its scientific activities are organized around 12 research teams, which are currently developing and strengthening their partnerships with academic teams. As of August 31, 2021, Cerema is recognized by the Ministry of Higher Education, Research, and Innovation (MESRI) as an institution with a research mandate. Since 2020, Cerema has been accredited by the National Research Agency through its Carnot Institute Clim’Adapt, highlighting its policy of transferring scientific knowledge and expertise to socio-economic stakeholders.

The ENDSUM research team comprises some twenty people, including eight researchers (three HDR), based in Rouen and Strasbourg. Its scientific project aims at responding to several major economic, societal and strategic challenges in the fields of civil engineering and earth sciences, in the context of global climate change. It focuses on providing knowledge and practical tools to meet the challenges of managing infrastructure assets and maintaining them at a satisfactory level of use and safety.

Job Responsibilities

• The ENDSUM team of Cerema is recruiting a research fellow in quantitative hydrogeology to study environmental issues such as the impacts of coastline retreat, natural risk assessment or sustainable wetland management. These phenomena, exacerbated by climate change, require an integrative approach mobilizing skills in hydrogeology, geology, subsurface geophysics and numerical modeling. The candidate will contribute to a better understanding and prediction of interactions between groundwater, surface water and coastal or continental systems. The ability to integrate machine learning tools into his / her work could be a valuable asset.

More generally, this activity will aim to:

• Develop hydrogeological models of natural or anthropogenic systems (aquifers, fractured medium, hydraulic structures, etc.) to characterize the various processes involved (recharge, freshwater / saltwater interaction, sediment transport, pollutant transport, subsidence, links with material rheology, etc.).
• Develop advanced numerical models in hydrogeology to handle flows in complex environments (highly topographic environments, unsaturated environments) and multiphysics (electrical, thermal).
• Develop water observation methods, in the laboratory and in situ, to complement the geophysical and remote sensing observations already implemented by the team.
• Support or contribute to large-scale (national and European) research projects, and take part in research partnerships with industry and local institutions as part of the Clim’Adapt Carnot institute.
• Disseminate scientific and technical information and culture, by publishing papers in scientific journals and presenting communication at international and national conferences.
• Participate in initial and continuing education by supervising interns, PhD students and post-docs, as well as teaching in areas related to the research priorities of the team.
• Participate in research administration (setting up national, European and international cooperation projects, participation in commissions and working groups, organization of seminars and congresses).

Minimum Requirements

• The candidate must have a PhD in Earth Sciences, or be able to demonstrate an equivalent level of knowledge.
• The candidate(s) will have to master the techniques of observation and modelling in quantitative hydrogeology and the linking with subsurface geophysical data and remote sensing.
• The candidate will have to justify publications and communications in one of the areas considered priority for the position.
• Proficiency in both written and oral communication, in both French and English.
• Teamwork and good interpersonal skills are essential.

Recommendations

The candidate is expected to propose, in his / her application, a scientific project for the position in line with the activities of the host research team and therefore, is strongly recommended to contact the persons indicated.
