About the University of Lorraine

Basic information and contact details for the University of Lorraine

The University of Lorraine is composed of four universities in the Lorraine region, about an hour and half from Paris by train. These were merged into one in 2012, and include three universities in Nancy, the city in the south of Lorraine, along with a university in Metz, the northernmost city of the region. The universities in Nancy, are Henri Poincaré, which focusses on the sciences and health and technology; Nancy 2, which focusses on human and social sciences, law, economics and management, and the National Polytechnic Institute, which is an amalgamation of several engineering schools. These were founded in the 20th century, though the original University of Nancy was founded in 1572. Metz’ university, Paul Verlaine University, was created in 1970. Campuses are situated throughout the region in over 52 sites, both in the heart of the cities of Nancy and Metz, close to train stations and culture, as well as nestled away in the woods. The Nancy sites are focussed on biological sciences, health care, administration, and management, while Metz is focussed on material sciences, technology and management. There are 26 libraries, as well as access to all libraries of its partner universities (University of the Saar, University of Luxembourg University of Liège, University of Trier and University of Kaiserslautern). Sports facilities include the biggest climbing wall in Lorraine, as well as a fencing room and opportunities for wheelchair sports. Through the years of the member institutions, alumni have included many prominent scientists, philosophers and politicians, such as the University of Nancy’s Raymond Poincaré, the French statesman who served three times over as the 58th Prime Minister of France and from 1913 to 1920 as the President of France.

IWRI - Postdoctoral Position in Climate Modeling and Uncertainty Quantification

MOHAMMED VI POLYTECHNIC UNIVERSITY

Mohammed VI Polytechnic University

Morocco

institution

Mohammed VI Polytechnic University

Morocco


About UM6P: Mohammed VI Polytechnic University is an institution dedicated to research and innovation in Africa and aims to position itself among world-renowned universities in its fields The University is engaged in economic and human development and puts research and innovation at the forefront of African development. A mechanism that enables it to consolidate Morocco's frontline position in these fields, in a unique partnership-based approach and boosting skills training relevant for the future of Africa. Located in the municipality of Benguerir, in the very heart of the Green City, Mohammed VI Polytechnic University aspires to leave its mark nationally, continentally, and globally. About IWRI: The International Water Research Institute (IWRI) provides research, education, and innovation in the fields of water and climate. In order to face the next challenges. IWRI seeks to rethink and adapt research development, innovation, and training to new paradigms. It is an institute that outlines forward-thinking pathways to address water issues in a systemic manner in Africa. IWRI's vision is to Lead and develop integrated research and processes for Water & Climate concerns in Africa. We act as an African water hub through strategic cooperation and partnerships. We share comprehensive and diverse expertise to provide scientific information by focusing on four pillars: Integrated water resources management, Climate change and adaptation, Hydroinformatics, and Water technologies. Position Summary: The International Water Research Institute (IWRI) of the College of Agriculture and Environmental Sciences (CAES) at UM6P 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. Extreme precipitation events are inherently rare and poorly observed, particularly in regions with sparse and heterogeneous monitoring networks. Climate models therefore play a central role in understanding and projecting such extremes, yet they introduce multiple sources of uncertainty that propagate across scales. This project aims to systematically quantify and interpret these uncertainties across the hierarchy of climate models, from global to convection-permitting scales. Scientific context: Climate projections rely on a hierarchy of models with increasing spatial resolution, each introducing distinct sources of uncertainty that affect the simulation of extreme precipitation. Global Climate Models (GCMs) provide physically consistent representations of large-scale atmospheric circulation and climate variability, but their coarse resolution limits their ability to resolve key processes such as orographic forcing and mesoscale convection. Regional Climate Models (RCMs) dynamically downscale GCM outputs to finer resolutions, improving the representation of topography and land–atmosphere interactions, yet they remain strongly dependent on boundary conditions and continue to rely on parameterized convection, which is a major source of error in extreme precipitation. Convection-permitting models (CPMs), operating at kilometer-scale resolution, explicitly resolve deep convection and have demonstrated improved skill in simulating short-duration and high-intensity precipitation events; however, their high computational cost limits ensemble sizes, and their uncertainty structure remains insufficiently explored, particularly due to sensitivities to boundary forcing and physical parameterizations. Understanding how uncertainty propagates across the GCM–RCM–CPM modeling chain is therefore a central challenge, especially in regions such as Morocco, where complex topography (Atlas Mountains, Rif Plateau), diverse climatic influences, and limited observational data combine to produce highly variable and poorly constrained extreme precipitation patterns. Research Scope: The postdoctoral researcher will investigate uncertainty propagation across multi-scale climate modeling frameworks by combining multi-model datasets (e.g., CMIP6, MIT Regional Climate Model simulations, and convection-permitting simulations) with dynamical and statistical downscaling approaches, extreme value theory, and spatial statistics. The work will focus on decomposing uncertainty into its key components while assessing the added value of high-resolution convection-permitting models for extreme precipitation. Particular attention will be given to observational uncertainty in sparse data environments through the integration of station, satellite, and reanalysis datasets. The project will also develop and apply advanced uncertainty quantification methods with the objective of providing robust guidelines for climate modeling of extremes in data-scarce and topographically complex regions. Candidate Profile: 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 is desirable Proven ability to handle HPC environements is an added asset
