About this position
The University of Oulu’s Faculty of Technology is seeking a postdoctoral researcher for a three-year project in hydrological and ecosystem modelling within the Water, Energy and Environmental Engineering Unit.
The research investigates how hydrological and biogeochemical processes interact with terrestrial ecosystems and climate systems in Arctic and boreal environments. The researcher will develop and apply numerical models to simulate water and nutrient fluxes, carbon mobilisation and lateral carbon transport from soils and terrestrial ecosystems to streams, rivers and lakes.
Two complementary research profiles are available. Profile A focuses on process-based hydrological modelling of runoff generation, groundwater contributions and surface and subsurface flow paths controlling carbon transport across northern and Arctic catchments. The work combines model simulations with streamflow observations, carbon-concentration data, field observations, spatial catchment information and uncertainty analysis.
Profile B focuses on Earth system and ecosystem modelling. The researcher will integrate hydrological, biogeochemical and ecosystem models to examine how snow, soil moisture, vegetation, hydrological connectivity, climate change and ecosystem processes affect lateral carbon fluxes and terrestrial–aquatic carbon budgets.
The position is connected with the Flagship DIWA – Digital Waters and the SAFIRE programme, which develops interdisciplinary and actionable knowledge for habitat restoration, particularly in Arctic regions. The researcher will join a water research team comprising five groups working on hydrological modelling, cold-climate hydrology, hydrological processes and groundwater research, with access to research stations and supersites in Finland.
The role involves interdisciplinary collaboration, large-dataset analysis, scientific communication, doctoral supervision and education. The successful researcher will work with postdoctoral colleagues, senior staff and SAFIRE researchers in a supportive international research environment at the University of Oulu.

What's required
A relevant doctoral degree in hydrology, remote sensing, data science, environmental science, ecosystem science, ecology, physical geography or a related field, completed by the application deadline and obtained no more than 10 years ago. Candidates must demonstrate independent scientific research ability, teaching skills, strong numerical modelling and data-analysis experience, programming experience in R, Python, Julia, Fortran or C/C++, excellent written and spoken English, scientific writing and communication skills, and the ability to work independently and in multidisciplinary teams. Preferred qualifications include satellite remote sensing, drone imagery, cold-region field measurements and ecosystem-process knowledge, high-performance computing, doctoral supervision, international networking and proposal-writing experience.
How to apply
Apply online through the University of Oulu Varbi recruitment portal by 13 December 2026 at 23:59 Finnish time. Submit an English motivation letter with a short proposed research description, an academic CV, a list of up to 10 key publications with your role explained, and teaching and supervision experience.
