Job Description

The Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering (CEE) at the National University of Singapore (NUS) invites applications for one Research Fellow (Postdoc) position in Distributed Hydrological Modelling to begin in summer 2025. 

The project “Network of Experimental Catchments for Understanding Runoff Formation and Flood Risk” aims at establishing a network of experimental catchments to study runoff formation in Singapore.  In particular, by combining observed data and advanced modelling tools the project aims to use data collected in experimental catchments to (i) advance our understanding of runoff generation processes; (ii) to employ and develop physics-based hydrological models and physics-informed deep learning models; (iii) to evaluate the effectiveness of current drainage infrastructure in the context of a changing climate and increasing urbanization through scenario analyses. Results will be of paramount importance to improve the accuracy of rainfall-runoff simulations and flood risk assessments.
 

The candidate will be responsible for completing the scientific tasks of the project, leading and contributing to publications, and is expected to work on the integration of the different tasks with the other postdoctoral fellows working on the project.  Besides contributing to the research activities of the project, the successful applicant is expected to support in a broader sense the research of the Hydrology group at NUS, thereby providing occasional support to graduate students (MSc and PhD). 

Job Requirements

•    Possess a PhD degree in Civil/Environmental Engineering or Environmental Science or related disciplines. 
•    Very solid numerical skills, including programming skills (e.g., Matlab, Julia, Python). 
•    Demonstration of innovative scientific results obtained during the PhD. 
•    Excellent communication skills and capability to present research findings in publications. 
•    Open to fixed-term contract (24 months) 

 
Note: Applications should include in a single .pdf file: (i) a motivation letter, (ii) a detailed Curriculum Vitae including a list of publications, and (iii) contacts of 2 to 3 reference persons.
