About this position
University of Saskatchewan is advertising a Postdoctoral Research Fellow in snow and ice hydrology based at the Coldwater Laboratory in Canmore, Alberta, within the Centre for Hydrology. The project is part of the MountAInWater Project of the Virtual Institute for Earth’s Water and focuses on applying and evaluating a new land-surface hydrological model in the Canadian Rockies.
The successful candidate will study cold regions hydrology, cryosphere processes, snow and glacier physics, and hydrological-cryospheric modeling. The work includes using observations from the Canadian Rockies Hydrological Observatory and remote sensing products to assess model performance, compare simulations from models such as CRHM, CHM, and MESH, and diagnose hydrological change and cryospheric tipping points in headwater basins.
This is a research-intensive postdoc with opportunities for fieldwork in Banff and Jasper National Parks and Kananaskis Country. The post emphasizes computational hydrology, large geophysical datasets, Python/R analysis, high-performance computing, and programming in C/C++ or Fortran. Experience with open science, software engineering practices, and field observations in cold remote environments is especially valued.
Eligibility: applicants must have completed a PhD in a relevant field such as hydrology, water resources, civil or agricultural engineering, environmental earth science, physical geography, or atmospheric science within the last five years. Strong English communication, teamwork, leadership, and mentoring ability are also expected.
Funding: the appointment is full-time and term-based, with salary commensurate with education and experience. No tuition or stipend amount is specified.
How to apply: submit a cover letter, CV, three references, and at least one publication showing relevant experience. Apply via the university portal. Enquiries can be sent to [email protected].
