About this position

The University of Antwerp is seeking a full-time postdoctoral scholarship holder to work on hydroclimatic extremes under climate change within the Modelling for Sustainability (M4S) team in the Department of Electronics and Information and Communication Technologies, Faculty of Applied Engineering.

The researcher will support existing projects and advance research on the statistical analysis and modelling of hydroclimatic extremes, with particular relevance to compound extreme events. The work may involve climate model simulations, large-scale datasets, extreme value theory, multivariate statistical methods, and dependence modelling. The postdoctoral researcher will conduct research, publish scientific results, develop international research contacts, and contribute to applications of research findings in economic and social contexts.

The role also includes participation in research funding activities, including preparation of grant proposals, supervision and evaluation of PhD students, and a limited range of support tasks related to education or research management. The researcher will join a dynamic and stimulating environment at Campus Groenenborger and contribute to the M4S team’s sustainability-oriented research.

Academic collaboration and position-related inquiries may be directed to Hossein Tabari at the University of Antwerp. The appointment is based in Antwerp, Belgium, and offers an opportunity to further develop through research-related activities, training, and education.

Funding details

Full-time, 100% appointment for one year, with possible extension subject to positive evaluation and funding availability. The monthly scholarship amount follows the postdoctoral scholarship-holder scales for Contract Research Staff. Benefits include ecocheques, an internet-connectivity allowance, and either a bicycle allowance or full reimbursement of public transport costs for commuting.

What's required

Applicants must hold a PhD in Earth and Environmental Sciences, Civil or Environmental Engineering, Hydrology, Meteorology, Mathematics, or a related field. Candidates should have a strong background in statistical analysis and modelling of hydroclimatic extremes, preferably including compound extreme events; good oral and written English; experience with climate model simulations and/or large-scale datasets; strong programming skills in Python, R, MATLAB, or another scientific programming language; experience in national or international research projects; excellent scientific writing skills, including preparation of grant proposals, project reports, and technical documents; and research and teaching qualities aligned with the university and faculty. Knowledge of extreme value theory, multivariate statistical methods, or dependence modelling is advantageous.
