Postdoctoral Researchers in Hydrological Modelling and River Health Assessment Birla Institute of Technology and Science, Pilani in Canada

Two postdoctoral researcher positions are open in hydrological modelling and river health assessment for a project funded by The Nature Conservancy (TNC) on the Banas River Basin, Rajasthan.

The project focuses on research topics including rainfall-runoff modelling, surface-groundwater interactions, climate and land-use change impact assessment, development of a Composite River Health Index, and GIS-based spatial prioritization for river conservation and restoration. The work also involves GIS, remote sensing, and machine learning, making it suitable for researchers with strong quantitative and environmental modelling backgrounds.

The positions are based at Birla Institute of Technology and Science, Pilani and SRM University-AP, Guntur. The fellowship is ₹60,000 per month, with a duration of 7 months and possible extension up to 1 year.

Eligibility: applicants should have a Ph.D. in Water Resources, Hydrology, Environmental Engineering/Science, Geoinformatics, or a related field. Prior experience with hydrological modelling, ArcGIS Pro, remote sensing, and machine learning is preferred.

Application deadline: 21 July 2026. Interested candidates should email their CV to the listed principal investigators. Tentative interviews are scheduled for 25 July 2026, and joining is expected on 1 August 2026 or earlier.
