Postdoc Position: Glacier lake-ice dynamics in the Himalaya
Offer DescriptionJoin our international team at Utrecht University’s as a postdoctoral researcher in Mountain Hydrology. This 2-year postdoc position offers an exciting opportunity to advance our understanding of glacier dynamics and enhance the accuracy of mass loss predictions from the lake-terminating glaciers.Your job
You will play a central role in our research on Himalayan glaciers, with a specific focus on lake-terminating glaciers. You will use a state-of-the-art modelling, remote sensing, and field measurements to investigate calving behaviour of lake-terminating glaciers and additional glacial mass loss attributed to the formation of proglacial lakes. You will assist in a field campaign to the Himalayas, where you will be gathering essential data on glacier thickness, surface properties, and lake bathymetry, providing vital ground-truthing for the model. Utilising the UFEMISM ice sheet model, you will simulate a chosen lake-terminating glacier in the Himalayas and validate the outcome using in-situ and remote sensing data. The position offers you a close collaboration with colleagues from the Institute for Marine and Atmospheric research Utrecht (IMAU) and various other international groups.RequirementsSpecific RequirementsTo be considered for this position you must have the following qualifications:
