and their impact on regional hydrology in the Himalayas", we are looking
for a doctoral student to join our team for the next three to four
years. The project is a large Indo-Swiss collaboration by researchers of
VAW-ETH, the Hydrology Group of the University of Berne, Switzerland,
the Indian Institute of Technology Roorkee, India, and the Indian
National Centre of Polar and Ocean Research.
In the part of the project linked to this doctorate, the goal is to gain
a better understanding of the physical processes that drive the
evolution of small Himalayan glaciers at the local scale, and to use the
gained understanding to project the evolution of the glacier in the
region. To this end, detailed monitoring data stemming from both in-situ
and remote sensing observations acquired by the Indian project partners
will be used in combination with climate data to inform numerical models
that simulate past and future glacier changes. Your task will be to
further develop such numerical models, to assess their robustness and
skill, to apply them under consideration of the latest climate
scenarios, and to use them to quantify future glacier changes and the
related shifts in water availability and streamflow variability. These
model-based activities will target at both the local and regional scale,
thus providing information that is not only relevant for individual
mountain communities but also for regional decision-making.
The start date of the doctorate is negotiable, but we envision a start
in February or March 2023.
For further information on the position and for applications, please
refer to the full job post:

Applications are accepted from now on and until December 31, 2022.
Note that a companion doctorate, focusing on hydrological modelling and
analysis, is offered in the frame of the same project at the University
of Berne (position "Doctorate in hydrological modelling in
glacier-covered catchments", found at
https://www.unibe.ch/university/employer/job_postings/job_portal/index_eng.html

Best wishes
Daniel Farinotti and Matthias Huss
