hela Sverige Do you want to contribute to a better world and sustainable society? Do you want to work with Swedish and international hydrology? Are you interested in research? Take the chance and become one of our new employees!
The unit for Hydrological Research works in Sweden, Europe and worldwide with developing Water and Climate services based on forecast and scenario tools. We assess and predict variability in water resources, climate change impacts, and water quality in catchments including pollutant transport. Our work aims to improve decision-making for water resource management and environmental control, as well as forecasting in early warning services for water-related sectors. We work directly with both external end-users and SMHI's operational divisions. The unit is very international with some 45 employees from 15 countries.
We are now looking forward to employing one to two scientists with experience in hydrological modeling and development as well as evaluation of hydrological observations and model results. You will work in a research group that supports water management and long-term societal planning with its activities. The group focuses on important societal questions, now and in the future, from water supply and shortages, high flows, water quality impacts and delivery to coasts to climate impact analyses.
Work description
You will work with hydrological models from national to global scales, with large data both as observations and model results, where you need to develop various scripts to e.g. improve the model results with help of observations, homogenize input data, and develop hydrological process descriptions in the model. You will also carry out hydrological research via writing proposals, leading research projects, and actively contribute to SMHI's activities. You are expected to publish at least one article in a scientific journal per year.
We work in various projects and you will work in groups of different sizes with each project working towards achieving project-specific goals. The work includes scientific analyses, programming, quality control, and documentation. The work tasks require focus on quality of the product, including developing and implementing quality assurance and quality control protocols.

You have a doctoral degree in hydrology or closely related subject that SMHI deems equivalent with at least 2 years of experience in hydrological research after receiving your Ph.D.
We are looking for you who have (requirement):
Experience in hydrological modelling and analyses with a deep understanding of hydrological processes at different scales
• Demonstrated competence in developing, calibration, and evaluation of hydrological models
• Good knowledge in IT and programming in order to be able to handle and analyze large data associated with hydrological observations and model results
• Proficiency in Microsoft Office
• Very good knowledge of English, both spoken and written
• SMHI is a Swedish authority with tasks where you as an employee are expected to be able to communicate in Swedish, both verbally and in writing. Because of this, it is required that you have basic knowledge of Swedish or the desire to learn Swedish as a working language within a year.

• Experience in writing proposals
• Experience in code development for hydrological models
• Competence in developing large scale process-based hydrological models
• Demonstrated competence in research areas within SMHI's hydrological activities, e.g. water quality modeling, national to global hydrological modeling with process-based models, climate impact analyses, or experience with the hydrological model HYPE
You are familiar with giving presentations and lectures, working in teams, agile approaches and delivering scientific results within defined project goals in a timely and qualitative manner. We work in a multicultural environment where good communication skills are required and former experiences in working internationally, in international teams, or with people of different cultural backgrounds are of merit.
