Phd Position On Data Assimilation for Scenario

PhD Position on Data Assimilation for Scenario Forecasting of Urban Heat-
**_Challenge: Reducing urban heat requires realistic forecasts of atmospheric circulation_**
**_ Change: Developing an innovative nonlinear data assimilation strategy for urban atmosphere with applicability to other earth systems._**
**_ Impact: This method will allow optimisation of urban planning and design and improve resilience of urban environments._**
Job description
The Geoscience and Engineering department of TU Delft is looking for a PhD to work in the interdisciplinary project UrbanAIR.
With advanced weather models we can forecast atmospheric circulation at smaller and smaller scales. High-resolution simulations of the urban air flows form the basis of so-called digital twins that support decision making. Digital twins simulate different atmospheric scenarios in a changing climate and urban landscape. By quantifying the uncertainties in these projections, digital twins support the planning of climate adaptation and mitigation in cities. Where should we plant trees? Should we opt for high-rise buildings or keep the buildings low? What can we do to mitigate urban heat islands and keep the city cool?
To answer such questions, data assimilation systematically combines numerical models with data to explore different possibilities of what the true system could be like. Designing a data-assimilation method that can deal with the nonlinearity of the small-scale atmospheric circulation using a limited number of observations is not straightforward. Methods that can deal with the nonlinear dynamics of the urban atmosphere can be computationally demanding, and recent innovations suggest that efficiency can be improved.
- and transdisciplinary project, you will join the UrbanAIR project funded by the EU Horizon Europe funding programme. It involves five departments of TU Delft and 18 international partners across industry, academia and government.
As a PhD student at TU Delft, you will:
- Familiarize yourself with nonlinear data-assimilation methods such as the particle flow filter, the ensemble transform filter, and the ensemble transport filter
- Co-develop a scalable, adaptive, nonlinear data assimilation method based on recently developed methods
**Requirements**:
Our new colleague
- holds a master’s degree in meteorology, oceanography, (geo)physics, applied mathematics/statistics, or a similar field.
- wants to make a societal impact, and at the same time uses their skills for abstract or mathematical thinking.
- has experience with Python or a similar programming language. Experience with computationally intensive numerical methods is a plus.
- is a highly motivated and self-driven researcher, capable of working both independently and as part of a team.
- has an excellent command of written and spoken English.
Conditions of employment
The TU Delft offers a customisable compensation package, discounts on health insurance, and a monthly work costs contribution. Flexible work schedules can be arranged.
For international applicants, TU Delft has the Coming to Delft Service. This service provides information for new international employees to help you prepare the relocation and to settle in the Netherlands. The Coming to Delft Service offers a Dual Career Programme for partners and they organise events to expand your (social) network.
