Postdoctoral scholar in forest hydrology, water quality, aquatic ecology, and spatial analytics

Oregon State University (OSU), Oregon, United States
Apply before: 30 November 2020

Posting: Position: Postdoctoral Scholar Apply before: 30 November 2020

We are excited to be recruiting a Postdoctoral Scholar to collaborate on a project where we will develop spatial tools and models that relate aquatic condition and habitat resilience and/or vulnerability to general landscape factors, as well as forest health and wildfire, in the Western US. The research will improve understanding of how natural and/or human disturbances affect water quantity, quality, and aquatic habitat to facilitate future policy and land management decisions.

The Scholar will work as part of a trans-disciplinary team of scientists, including forest hydrologists, aquatic ecologists, geospatial analysts, biogeochemists, and others from Oregon State University (OSU), the US Forest Service (USFS), and the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). Collaboration with USFS (Dr. Rebecca Flitcroft) and EPA (Dr. Joseph Ebersole) colleagues will provide unique perspectives and opportunities to engage in research that will help inform policies for managing and protecting water quality, watershed health, and aquatic communities.

We are strongly committed to creating a diverse, equitable, and inclusive environment. As such, we encourage potential candidates with differing backgrounds, perspectives, and talents to apply.

See the attached pdf for full details on this opportunity. For full consideration, please submit your application on or before November 30, 2020 to me at kevin.bladon@oregonstate.edu. Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any questions about this opportunity.
