Associate Professor in Catchment-Scale Hydrological Modelling

The role of Associate Professor in Catchment-Scale Hydrological Modelling requires advanced expertise in hydrology, particularly focused on modeling water flow and processes at the catchment or watershed scale. Candidates should possess a strong academic background, typically at the doctoral level or equivalent, in hydrology, environmental science, civil engineering, or related disciplines. The position demands proficiency in developing, implementing, and validating hydrological models that simulate catchment-scale processes such as precipitation-runoff relationships, groundwater flow, surface water interactions, and water quality dynamics. Experience with computational tools and software commonly used in hydrological modeling, such as GIS platforms, statistical analysis packages, and specialized hydrological simulation models (e.g., SWAT, HEC-HMS, MIKE SHE), is essential. The role also involves conducting original research, publishing peer-reviewed papers, securing research funding, and contributing to academic teaching and supervision at the graduate level. Strong analytical skills, familiarity with field data collection methods, and the ability to integrate multidisciplinary data sets are important. Effective communication skills for collaboration within academic and stakeholder communities are necessary. Overall, this position requires a combination of theoretical knowledge, practical modeling experience, research leadership, and educational capabilities in catchment-scale hydrology.
