We are seeking a doctoral researcher with good knowledge and interests in developing Quaternary 3D modelling and hydrogeology, including remote sensing, 3D hydrostratigraphical modelling, flow modelling, and digital solutions. The project aims to initiate systematic digital documentation of SSIMC aquifers to support sustainable use and management of groundwater resources for people and ecosystems in the future. The project will also seek digital innovations to support groundwater monitoring where quantity and quality of groundwater resources are made easily available in a consistent, representative and long-lasting way. The doctoral candidate will collect field data by applying the state-of-the-art in-situ measurement techniques, from which, valid hydrogeological information can be extracted. He/she will apply groundwater flow model as a numerical platform to simulate hydrologic fluxes in the subsurface. The project includes development of 3D hydrogeological modelling workflows.
The position requires an active and innovative approach, good cooperation skills, and willingness to work as a part of a research team. We expect a master’s degree in, for example, Quaternary geology, hydrogeology, water engineering, computer science, or related fields. The candidate should preferably have the following skills and/or willingness to expand skills: facies analysis, 3D geological modelling (MOVE, Groundhog, Leapfrog, etc.) and flow modelling (MODFLOW, FEFLOW, etc.)
