College of Southampton

Job description

The publish holder will undertake scientific analysis on world river and sediment dynamics in assist of the UKRI funded analysis undertaking, GLOSS (GLObal Suspended Sediment: drivers, developments and future trajectories). The researcher will work with a worldwide sediment database and use remotely sensed and different geographical knowledge with machine studying/Bayesian Modelling methods to ascertain drivers of worldwide sediment flux. They may use numerical fashions and statistical processing methods to ascertain patterns and future trajectories of worldwide change.The publish holder will probably be anticipated to have the ability to find, curate and manipulate time-series world bodily geographical attribute datasets of relevance to river sediment dynamics (e.g. DEMs, precipitation, land use/cowl, reservoirs, inhabitants dynamics and many others.) utilizing GIS and bespoke code. These datasets will probably be used together with new estimates of worldwide river suspended sediment fluxes to ascertain the bodily drivers of sediment variability, utilizing machine studying and Bayesian Modelling methods. This publish is for 18 months and relies at College of Southampton.The Faculty of Geography and Environmental Science is dedicated to fostering a tradition of equality, range and inclusion. We welcome functions from suitably certified candidates, and significantly encourage functions from candidates belonging to teams who’re under-represented inside educational posts on the College, together with, however not restricted to: folks from Black and minority ethnic teams; and disabled folks.
