Utrecht, Utrecht, Nederland Universiteit Utrecht Voltijd
About the Research

We are seeking a talented PhD researcher to join our team in Climate-Resilient Hydropower Systems. This project focuses on developing advanced modelling frameworks and operational schemes to optimize the use of hydropower reservoirs for multiple purposes, including flood control, drought management, freshwater provision, and energy supply security.

The research will be conducted in the Rhine basin, a transboundary river system where trade-offs exist between national water and hydroelectric needs. The successful candidate will aim to develop innovative solutions to ensure hydropower resilience in the face of future climate extremes while minimizing conflict and enhancing cooperation in transboundary regions.

Key Responsibilities

  • Develop advanced modelling frameworks and operational schemes for hydropower reservoirs
  • Conduct literature reviews to understand hydropower reservoir functions
  • Use flood forecasting models to simulate extreme weather events and their impacts on reservoir operations
  • Integrate hydrological details into energy system modelling to assess the effects of hydroclimatic extremes in decarbonised and interconnected energy systems

Requirements

  • Master's degree in hydrology, energy sciences, environmental sciences, environmental engineering, or a related field
  • Strong skills in data analysis, modelling, and optimisation
  • Experience in quantitative analysis and statistics
  • Background in programming with Python, Matlab, or R
  • Excellent communication and problem-solving skills
