Responsibilities

Your Commitment

The successful candidate will play a crucial role in developing and implementing advanced, transient MODFLOW groundwater models specifically designed for Qatar's aquifer systems. These transient models will dynamically simulate groundwater flow, levels, and quality, responding to temporal changes in input data and environmental conditions. This position requires strong expertise in Python programming, machine learning, and hydrological modeling. The researcher will also be responsible for integrating these models with the CWatM hydrological model to support comprehensive and adaptive environmental analyses, ensuring the accurate representation of both groundwater quantity and quality.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Hydrological Model Development: Design, develop, and calibrate transient MODFLOW groundwater models using Python libraries (e.g., flopy), ensuring accurate and responsive simulations of Qatar's aquifer systems.
  • Machine Learning Integration: Apply machine learning techniques to enhance the accuracy of the models, enabling automated updates based on new data inputs.
  • Hydrological Model Integration: Collaborate on the integration of these transient groundwater models with the CWatM model, facilitating comprehensive and adaptive analysis of Qatar's water resources.
  • Data Management and Quality Assurance: Manage large-scale, real-time data streams, ensuring data integrity and consistency across all modeling activities.
  • Research and Publication: Conduct high-quality research, leading to publications in top-tier journals and presentations at international conferences.
  • Collaboration: Work closely with interdisciplinary research teams and external stakeholders, contributing to UDST's broader research goals in sustainable water management.
Qualifications

Qualifications:

  • Ph.D. in Hydrogeology, Hydrology, Environmental Engineering, or a related discipline, with a focus on transient groundwater modeling.
  • Technical Skills: Proficiency in Python programming and experience with MODFLOW model development, particularly in creating and calibrating transient models.
  • Machine Learning Expertise: Experience in machine learning algorithms application, with a focus on enhancing model accuracy and efficiency.
  • Hydrological Modeling: Preferred knowledge of the CWatM model or similar hydrological models.
  • Research Experience: A strong record of research achievements, including publications in peer-reviewed journals and presentations at scientific conferences.
  • Communication and Collaboration: Excellent written and oral communication skills, with the ability to work effectively in a multidisciplinary team environment.

Preferable Research Experiences:

  • Publication Record: A good history of publications in relevant, high-impact journals.
  • Interdisciplinary Collaboration: Experience working within multidisciplinary research teams and contributing to collaborative research projects.
  • Data Analysis Proficiency: Strong skills in managing and analyzing transient hydrogeological data and applying machine learning algorithms.
  • Technical Expertise: Demonstrated hands-on experience in laboratory and fieldwork, particularly related to transient groundwater modeling and data collection.

Skills:

The required skills for this position include extensive experience in developing and calibrating transient MODFLOW groundwater models, strong proficiency in Python, and a demonstrated ability to apply machine learning techniques to optimize model performance. The candidate must be skilled in integrating and managing real-time hydrogeological data to ensure accurate, dynamic simulations. Additionally, the candidate should excel in collaborative, multidisciplinary environments, with the ability to communicate complex technical concepts clearly and effectively.

Application Procedure

The application should be in English. The application should be sent electronically and be attached as PDF-files, as below. Maximum size for each file is 10 MB.

  1. CV: (Please name the document as: CV, Surname, Ref. number) including:
  • A complete list of publications
  • Previous research experiences
  • Two references who can be approached to write letters of reference/recommendation
Cover letter: (Please name the document as: Personal letter, Family name, Ref. number) 1-3 pages where you:
  • Introduce yourself
  • Describe your previous research fields and main research results
  • Relate your qualifications, experience, and skills with the job requirements
