PhD, Master’s & Postdoc Opportunities in Hydrology in Finland

This postdoctoral position at ENSICAEN is part of a collaborative ANR project involving the LIS laboratory (UR 7478, Caen) and the company NEAC. The project aims to develop an innovative bilateral teleoperation architecture for surface vessels operating under degraded communication networks. The postdoctoral researcher will focus on the autonomy and control foundation of an unmanned surface vehicle (USV), specifically the local and embedded control architecture needed for constrained environment...

This PhD project is part of the University of Cologne’s interdisciplinary initiative “The Rhine Floodplain – a Biogeochemically Coupled System under Stress” , which examines how altered hydrology reshapes floodplain sediment dynamics, biodiversity, food webs, microbial processes, and greenhouse gas emissions. The advertised doctorate focuses on soil microbial nutrient stoichiometry and soil-atmosphere exchange in river floodplains. The successful candidate will investigate how nutrient constrain...

The University of Cologne’s Institute of Geography is offering an interdisciplinary PhD project on the Rhine floodplain as a biogeochemically coupled system under stress. The project examines how altered hydrology shapes floodplain sediment dynamics and the wider ecosystem response, linking physical and geochemical processes with biodiversity, food webs, microbial activity, and greenhouse gas emissions. The doctoral researcher will contribute to a collaborative project with other PhD students an...

This PhD position in VA-teknik at Luleå University of Technology is part of a research environment focused on urban water systems, especially stormwater and wastewater. The project aims to improve the maintenance of urban stormwater facilities such as gullies and retention ponds by developing a data-driven understanding of sediment accumulation and facility performance. The doctoral researcher will work with long-term monitoring data collected using high-resolution sensors, capturing sediment dy...

Urban Water Engineering at Luleå University of Technology is offering a PhD position focused on making urban drainage maintenance more data-driven and environmentally responsible. The project sits within the Urban Water Engineering research group in the Department of Civil, Environmental and Natural resources engineering, and combines experimental work with theoretical analysis in an international research environment. The doctoral research examines how smart monitoring and predictive modelling ...

Concordia University in Canada is seeking two highly motivated PhD students to advance research on Scan-to-BIM-to-Digital Twin and uncertainty-aware methods for climate-resilient infrastructure systems. Under the supervision of Dr. Chih-Shen (Stephen) Cheng , students will work at the intersection of sensing, artificial intelligence, flood modeling, and uncertainty quantification. The research will support the assessment of flood impacts on buildings and power infrastructure and help facilitate ...

This postdoc sits in AAU Energy at Aalborg University and is embedded in the Underwater Technology research group in the Esbjerg Energy section. The project is part of the ABBA USV – Above and Below Autonomous Unmanned Systems initiative, which develops coordinated autonomous systems for offshore inspection, maintenance, repair, and surveillance. The advertised research focuses on the collaborative control of a tethered USV–UUV system , where an unmanned surface vehicle and an unmanned underwate...

The University of Mississippi is recruiting a Research Associate for the National Center for Computational Hydroscience and Engineering (NCCHE). This research role centers on advanced hydrologic and hydraulic modeling for watershed hydrology, surface water systems, flooding, and water quality. The successful candidate will contribute to the development and application of numerical models used to simulate rainfall-runoff transformation, streamflow routing, flood inundation, sediment transport, an...

The University of Antwerp is seeking a postdoctoral researcher to join Modelling for Sustainability (M4S) in Belgium. The project focuses on hydroclimatic extremes under climate change , addressing the evolving risks associated with climate-related hazards. The successful researcher will contribute to cutting-edge research examining hydroclimatic extremes and their implications in a changing climate. The opportunity is suited to researchers working across climate science, hydrology, and related ...
