Reference: 2671924WRAnalysis Fellow in Drivers of International Water and Sediment DynamicsThe put up holder will undertake scientific analysis on world river and sediment dynamics in assist of the UKRI funded analysis mission, GLOSS (GLObal Suspended Sediment: drivers, tendencies and future trajectories). The researcher will work with a world sediment database and use remotely sensed and different geographical knowledge with machine studying/Bayesian Modelling strategies to determine drivers of worldwide sediment flux. They are going to use numerical fashions and statistical processing strategies to determine patterns and future trajectories of worldwide change.The put up holder shall 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 shall be used along with new estimates of worldwide river suspended sediment fluxes to determine the bodily drivers of sediment variability, utilizing machine studying and Bayesian Modelling strategies. This put up is for 18 months and is predicated 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 notably encourage functions from candidates belonging to teams who’re under-represented inside educational posts on the College, together with, however not restricted to: individuals from Black and minority ethnic teams; and disabled individuals.

We’re a signatory to the Concordat to Help the Profession Growth of Researchers and might present alternatives for profession growth and mentoring.Obligations

• Take a number one function in these facets of the mission which relate to establishing relationships between fluvial water/ sediment dynamics and the regional bodily drivers of change.
• Write open-source scripts in Python or R to retrieve, handle, put together, analyse, and visualise knowledge from a wide range of sources, together with satellite tv for pc imagery and data of straight monitored charges of sediment and water discharge.
• Apply machine studying and/or Bayesian Modelling strategies to determine hyperlinks between drivers and suspended sediment fluxes.
• Adapt current and develop new analysis methodologies and supplies.
• Co-ordinate and collaborate with colleagues in companion organisations.
• Lead the preparation of analysis publications for submission to peer-reviewed educational journals based mostly on the analysis undertaken.
• Current papers at conferences, public conferences or seminars.
• Contribute to the planning and organising of the analysis programme and mission knowledge.
