PhD student in Hydrology with specialization in global water-balance mode


"http://www.personalavd.uu.se/ledigaplatser/647dorand_eng.html"

Work description: The PhD student will work in the project "Modelling
Climate Effects on Global-Scale Water Balance" funded by FORMAS (The
Swedish Research Council for Environment, Agricultural Sciences and
Spatial Planning). In the project, where Uppsala, Göteborg, and Oslo
Universities cooperate, we work with development of the global
water-balance model WASMOD-M. A key question is the estimation of
parameter values in a globally consistent manner from available
land-surface data. This will be investigated through regional studies
in, e.g., parts of China and the Baltic-Sea basin. Another question
deals with downscaling of climate variables.

The application must include CV, copies of exams and list of courses
including the grades obtained, a copy of the undergraduate thesis (or
a draft thereof), as well as names of two reference persons.
