About this position

The Hydrology and Climate Impacts group at ETH Zurich is seeking a postdoctoral researcher to study climate impacts on hydrological extremes in mountain regions. This interdisciplinary and international role focuses on developing data-driven and process-based models to understand droughts and floods. The successful candidate will work on cutting-edge research integrating hydrology, climate science, and advanced computational methods.

The position is for two years, starting in spring or summer 2026. Applicants should have a PhD in hydrology or climate science, with strong programming skills in Python or R and experience in machine learning. Proficiency in English is required, and prior work on modeling hydrological extremes is highly desirable.

ETH Zurich is a world-leading institution in environmental and earth sciences, offering a vibrant research environment and access to state-of-the-art facilities. The postdoc will join a dynamic team working on the impacts of climate change in mountainous regions, contributing to both fundamental science and practical solutions for managing water resources and mitigating natural hazards.

Funding details are not explicitly stated, but postdoctoral positions at ETH Zurich are typically fully funded with competitive salaries. Interested candidates should visit the provided links for further information and application instructions. The application window is open until summer 2026.
