With this PhD position, you have the opportunity to develop cutting-edge modelling systems to provide key hydrological information to the Danish society. The real-time forecasting system to be developed will leverage information on flood inundation risk to increase resilience towards hydrological extremes.
The PhD project is part of a large project that involves collaboration with the Danish Meteorological Institute (DMI), the Danish Agency for Data Supply and Infrastructure (SDFI) and the Danish Environmental Protection Agency (MST).
Job description Within the PhD project you will conduct cutting-edge research within large-scale flood inundation modelling utilizing a suite of modelling tools, i.e., hydrological models, hydrodynamic models, machine learning (ML) and hybrid models. The latter benefit from combining the best of the alternative modelling approaches. You will work with satellite-derived (e.g. Sentinel SAR and optical data) inundation maps, observed water levels in streams, precipitation data, and high-resolution digital elevation models to further develop and contrast the alternative modelling approaches. Your project will be transdisciplinary spanning over hydrology, remote sensing and ML, in particular spatial Deep Learning approaches.
The specific objectives include (1) the development of a novel ML-based flood inundation modelling framework, (2) the inter-comparison of alternative methods (ML-stand alone, hydrodynamic models and different degrees of novel hybrid models) to model inundated areas, (3) transferring the methods from Denmark to different geographic settings.
As a PhD at GEUS, you will contribute to the further development of the ongoing efforts to operationalize the national coupled groundwater surface water model (DK-Model) to provide real-time and forecast information on the status of groundwater and surface water to the Danish society. You will work closely with a Post Doc who will be hired on the same project starting in January 2024. You will be enrolled at the PhD school at the Faculty of SCIENCE at the University of Copenhagen. At the Department of Geosciences and Natural Resource Management at University of Copenhagen, you will also interact and collaborate with early career researchers from related projects, e.g., the recently launched Global Wetland Center.
You should expect to broaden your existing field by covering elements of hydrological modelling, remote sensing, machine learning, data analysis and data management. Your research findings should be published in leading journals within the field. You are expected to contribute to the internationalization of the project by attending international conferences and going on an external research stay during the course of your PhD project.

Digital Green Innovation Acceleration Programme (DGIx) is a programme by the WFP Innovation Accelerator and the Smart Development Fund (#SDF), and powered by Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) GmbH and the German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ) and the European Union (EU). DGIx is in search of high-impact digital ventures and projects solving some of the most pressing environmental challenges in selected countries.
Digital transformation can play a major role in addressing climate change and biodiversity loss in low- and middle-income countries. A “twin transition” approach recognises this large and untapped role of technology and data to drive sustainability: instead of thinking about digitalization (using technology) and sustainability (taking care of the planet) separately, a twin transition strategy believes that these two changes can work together. It states that the technologies that help the environment and the ones that enable digital transformation, can both help us create stronger, more flexible, and better economies.
The DGIx aims to support technology-powered solutions addressing pressing environmental challenges. The programme will select ventures, solution providers and consortiums who will receive financial, technical, and methodological support from the WFP Innovation Accelerator, #SDF, and other partners. Together with the best and brightest minds globally, we will be able to leverage the digital-green synergies to ultimately improve the lives of vulnerable communities.

The position collaborates closely across the division with the Curator for Rare Books and Special Collections and the Public Services/ Private Records Archivist to share responsibilities for liaison with faculty, campus and community outreach, and reference and teaching.
The incumbent is a specialist in archives and special collections as their subject matter to teach about the theory, practice, and material culture of archives, rare books, and special collections. The Teaching and Outreach Archivist/Librarian works with a focus on teaching and outreach opportunities across the library system and in the broader community that promotes the use of archives and special collections. The position undertakes course-based instruction, attends regular reference shifts, and answers reference requests from both units; leads or co-leads both community based and faculty and student focused promotion and outreach services and projects, such as the Archives’ From the Page crowd- sourced transcription service, programmed and pop-up digital and physical exhibitions, and projects for for-credit (HIST 212, 501/502), paid, or volunteer students and community members.
