About the Position

The International Water Research Institute (IWRI) at Mohammed VI Polytechnic University invites applications for a postdoctoral researcher in climate modeling and uncertainty quantification, focusing on extreme precipitation in data-scarce regions, with Morocco as a primary case study.

Research Focus

Extreme precipitation events are inherently rare and poorly observed, particularly in regions with sparse monitoring networks. This project aims to systematically quantify and interpret uncertainties across the hierarchy of climate models, from global to convection-permitting scales.

Key Research Areas:

Investigate uncertainty propagation across multi-scale climate modeling frameworks
Combine multi-model datasets (CMIP6, MIT Regional Climate Model simulations, convection-permitting simulations)
Apply dynamical and statistical downscaling approaches, extreme value theory, and spatial statistics
Assess the added value of high-resolution convection-permitting models for extreme precipitation
Integrate station, satellite, and reanalysis datasets to address observational uncertainty in sparse data environments
Develop advanced uncertainty quantification methods for climate modeling of extremes in data-scarce and topographically complex regions

Required Qualifications

PhD in climate science, atmospheric physics, applied mathematics, or related field
Expertise in climate modeling and/or uncertainty quantification
Strong programming skills (Python, MATLAB, Fortran, or similar)
Experience with climate datasets and/or extreme event analysis
Proven ability to handle HPC environments is an added asset
