This will be done using physically based convection-permitting models and stochastic weather generators.The selected candidate will be responsible for completing the scientific tasks related to urban climate modeling in the project, leading and contributing to publications, and is expected to work closely with the other postdoctoral fellows and Ph.D. students who will be hired in the project. Besides contributing to the research activities of the project, the successful applicant is expected to support in a broader sense the research of the Ecohydrology and Hydrometeorology group at NUS, thereby providing occasional support to graduate students (M.Sc. and Ph.D.).Besides contributing to the research activities of the projects, the successful applicant is expected to support in a broader sense the research of the Ecohydrology and Hydroinformatics groups at NUS, thereby providing occasional support to graduate and undergraduate students.Job Requirements
