3.5-year Postdoc Funded Position in Unsaturated Flow and Reactive Transport in Soils and Groundwater (Kassel) Germany

This position is dedicated to improve soil-crop and/or land-surface models. This may be achieved by improving parameterization of the soil hydrological properties close to saturation and their temporal dynamics which are a consequence of tillage operations and natural processes occurring in agricultural soils. Another method is to develop approaches with which it is possible to incorporate expert knowledge into the parameterisation of soil-crop models using suitable likelihood models and Bayesian statistics. Both approaches are expected to lead to better predictions of solute transport processes. The emphasis of the research will be based on the candidate's interest and experience.
