About this position
UMR METIS at Sorbonne University (with CNRS and EPHE) is recruiting a postdoctoral researcher for the national PEPR TRANSFORM project.
The position focuses on hydrological modelling, hydrogeology, water resources, and land use / land cover change in an agricultural catchment. The successful candidate will study the past socio-hydrological trajectories of the Orgeval catchment in France and assess future scenarios for 2050–2070, including agricultural intensification, return of livestock farming, renaturation, drainage-network management, and regenerative hydrology.
Main tasks include modelling with the coupled ORCHIDEE-CaWaQS framework, analysing the effects of landscape change on water resources, using land-cover scenarios from the FORESCEM model, participating in co-construction workshops with farmers, water managers, and local authorities, and contributing to field campaigns for model calibration.
This opportunity is best suited to candidates with a background in environmental science, earth science, hydrology, hydrogeology, or related quantitative modelling fields. The post is research-oriented and collaborative, with stakeholder engagement and fieldwork components.
No deadline, salary, or application link is stated in the post. Interested applicants should look for the official call from UMR METIS / Sorbonne University / PEPR TRANSFORM for full eligibility and application details.
Funding details
Full funding including tuition fees and living expenses is available for this position. The scholarship covers all educational costs and provides a monthly stipend.
