Stillingstittel:
Would you like to contribute to the studies of climate change effects on the hydrological cycle?

Stillingsbeskrivelse:

We are looking for a colleague with a PhD in hydrology or meteorology and knowledge about modelling of land atmosphere interactions including the effects of climate change on the water balance, glaciers, river flow, floods and droughts.  

NVE is the key research centre in the Norwegian hydrological community. The Hydrology Department at NVE has approximately 110 employees and is responsible for collecting, storing and analysing data on water level, water discharge, snow, ice, glaciers, ground water, water temperature, erosion, and sediment transport. The department carries out research and development activities, as well as commissioned work, is a partner in the Norwegian Centre for Climate Services and is responsible for the national flood, landslide and avalanche warning services.

The Section for Hydrological Modelling is engaged in several research projects, both national and international. We study the effects of climate change on the hydrological cycle, how to improve hydrological models for flood forecasting and prediction in ungauged basins. The results from research projects are applied in improving water resources management in connection with issues such as adaptation to climate change, flood prevention and hydropower production. We would like you to contribute to this work. The position is temporary with a duration of two years.

Your main responsibilities will be related to:

• hydrological modelling focussing on climate change effects on hydrology
• the use of advanced statistical methods in hydrological modelling,
• engagement in international collaboration,
• publications in international peer-reviewed journals  

The major modelling focus:

• Improvement and further development of precipitation-runoff models. Key aspects are the understanding of climate, vegetation and land use changes on hydrology. Examples are improved model abstractJV_description, post processing methods and quantification of uncertainty.
