Hi,

Could you please share the job add below and attached with the postdoc 
mailing list? I think it might be relevant for a few of us.

Thanks,

The Institute of Geography http://www.giub.unibe.ch and the Oeschger 
Centre for Climate Change Research http://www.oeschger.unibe.ch/, 
University of Bern, Switzerland invite applications for the following 
position opening December 01, 2020.

Postdoc “Compound hydro-meteorological events for energy supply” 
University of Bern, Switzerland
(80-100%, 2 years plus 1-year extension)

Compound weather and climate events refer to multiple climate events 
that potentially cause large societal impacts. The increasing reliance 
on climate-related renewable energy sources (wind, solar and hydropower) 
poses urgent questions related to the space-time dependence of these 
energy sources, with storage hydropower playing a key role to balance 
the energy offer. The analysis of the risk related to energy supply 
droughts requires developing new methods to account for hydropower 
management as well as to statistically predict the co-occurrence of 
extreme events at different spatial and temporal scales.
The prospective PostDoc will work at the interface of the development of 
statistical methods and their application to current topics of high 
interest in water resources management and energy production. The 
PostDoc is part of the group of Prof. Dr. Bettina Schaefli (Institute of 
Geography), in close collaboration with Prof. Dr. Olivia. 
Romppainen-Martius (Institute of Geography), Prof. Dr. Johanna F. Ziegel 
and Dr. Michel Piot (Institute of Mathematical Statistics and Actuarial 
Science). The position is ideally suited for a young researcher in 
stochastic hydrology with the perspective to become an expert in 
statistical methods that are also of high interest for climate science 
and weather applications.
Profile of the candidate
The successful candidate holds a PhD in Stochastic hydrology, in Climate 
or Atmospheric Science, Meteorology or Statistics and has a strong 
interest in hydro-climatic applications. She/he has excellent 
programming and data handling skills, and a keen interest in 
interdisciplinary research. The candidate is proficient in English, both 
written and spoken. Ability to read technical (hydropower) reports in 
German or French is a plus (but not condition).
Details

Starting date December 01, 2020 or upon agreement. Employment conditions 
and remuneration in accordance with the standards of the University of 
Bern, Switzerland. The salary ranges between 88,000 and 100,000 CHF p.a. 
(gross salary; ca 90-100 k US$).
For further information please contact Prof. Dr. Bettina Schaefli 
(bettina.schaefli at giub.unibe.ch).
