I am looking to appoint a new Postdoctoral Researcher at the University of Manchester with a focus on agricultural water use monitoring and demand management, as part of my group’s (
ag-water.weebly.com)
role in the TRANSCEND project (Transformational and robust adaptation to water scarcity and climate change under deep uncertainty) funded by UK Research and Innovation and the European Commission (
https://cordis.europa.eu/project/id/101084110).
The postdoctoral researcher will develop new knowledge and data-driven tools to strengthen monitoring and implementation of policies to address water scarcity in the agricultural sector. A key goal will be to advance understanding about the current barriers
to agricultural water use monitoring, and develop tools that leverage satellite data and geospatial models to address current gaps in monitoring in order to improve resilience of water demand management policies. The position is available with an initial 2-year
term with a flexible start date in late 2023 or early 2024. Full details of the role and a link to apply can be found here:
https://www.jobs.manchester.ac.uk/Job/JobDetail?jobid=26434&isPreview=Yes&advert=external
This role is an exciting opportunity to collaborate with a diverse international multi-disciplinary team, including another two other postdocs with expertise in remote sensing and agricultural modelling in the TRANSCEND team at the University of Manchester
and a variety of early career researchers within the wider consortium. The role include dedicated support for travel and professional development, and will provide extensive opportunities to apply and translate your research into impact on real-world water
management policy in major river basins around the world.
If you know of suitable candidates within your networks, I would very much appreciate if you could share these opportunities with them. The deadline for applications is 13 September 2023 and I would be happy to discuss with any candidates who are interested
in the role and would like to find out more (email:

Best wishes
Tim
