To strengthen our diverse team, the Department of Earth System Science at CASUS is looking for a
PostDoc (f/m/d) in computational modeling of biodiversity in river networks.

The position will be available at the earliest possible date. The employment contract is limited to two years with the possibility of longer-term prospects.

Your tasks:

Develop computationally efficient dynamic biodiversity simulation models for river networks (e.g., dendritic neutral models)
Extend baseline dendritic neutral model to account for variation in water temperature, water quality and deviations from neutral dynamics
Fit models to fish occurrence and hydrology data from river systems around the world
Publish results in academic, peerreviewed journals
Present results at scientific meetings

Your profile:

PhD degree in physics, computer science, computational mathematics, computational biology/ecology, computational hydrology, or a related field
Experience with highperformance computing and shared compute resources
