With a team of more than 170 scientists and engineers from life science, environmental science, and IT science, the department has the necessary interdisciplinary knowledge and skills to tackle major environmental challenges our society is facing today: climate change mitigation, ecosystem resilience, sustainable energy systems, efficient use of renewable resources, environmental pollution prevention and control.
 

Description

Project and missions Project This researcher position is part of the project ‘Exploring catchment functions of storage, mixing and release across space and time’ (STORE-AGE – FNR CORE 2014), funded by the Luxembourg National Research Fund. The objective of the STORE-AGE project is to explore the links between catchment storage dynamics and time-variant catchment transit times to better understand how catchments store, mix, and release water. The project combines hydrometric approaches with stable isotopes methods (2H, 18O), and the use of tritium as natural tracer. The study will be carried out in the nested Attert River basin (0.46 km2-250 km2) in Luxembourg. Missions The researcher’s missions are centred on the exploration of catchment storage. The successful candidate should explore, review, and benchmark methods to assess spatio-temporal variability of catchment storage in a nested catchment setup. The researcher should develop her/his scientific career, should publish her/his work in peer-reviewed, ISI ranked, high-impact journals of the water resources field, and participate in scientific conferences. We offer: • The opportunity to work in an international team working in the fields of hydrological processes, tracer hydrology, eco-hydrology, soil hydrology, and hydrological modelling. • International network and support for summer schools, conferences, and travel. • State-of-the art lab facilities. Profile Education Have a PhD in hydrology, water resources engineering, environmental engineering, or a related discipline, with publications in peer-reviewed, ISI ranked journals. Competencies • Excellent background in catchment hydrology and data analysis. • Statistical and programming skills. • Scientific and writing skills to publish their work in peer-reviewed, ISI ranked high impact journals of the water resources field. • Enthusiastic, dedicated and excited to work in a team of process hydrologists. • Creative and team player. • Willingness to support field work.
