We are looking for a Postdoc researcher - quantification of upstream downstream linkages in the rivers originating in High Mountain Asia
Are you interested in the impact of climate change and the melting of snowpacks and glaciers in High Mountain Asia on food production downstream? And do you like working with numerical models? Then this may be a good opportunity for you!
The Earth Systems and Global Change Group is looking for a Postdoc researcher (3 years) who is interested in the High Mountains of Asia and their link to the food producing regions that receive water from those mountains. This position is part of the ERC project 3POLE2SEA. The overall goal of the 3POLE2SEA project is to increase the understanding of the links between the water stored in the High Mountains of Asia and the water- and food security of the 1.9 billion people living in the areas downstream of those mountains, now and in the future, and use this understanding to support adaptation design. Together with 2 PhD students, another Postdoc and technical support, you will work on the design of adaptation strategies to make agriculture in one of the largest food producing areas in the world more resilient to changes in the mountains.
More information and application up to and including 27 May 2024.
