The postdoc will participate on a project that links river and stream levee reconfiguration with potential for improvements to groundwater recharge, sediment transport and deposition, water quality, aquatic habitat, and flood-plain reconnection. The successful candidate will have experience and help to lead research in one or more topics related to fresh water and climate change, such as:
- water quality of surface water and groundwater (e.g., nutrient reaction, transport, and fate)
- channel flows
- infiltration and groundwater recharge
- surface-water groundwater interaction
- use of heat as a tracer of fluid flow in groundwater systems
- links between these topics and sediment transport, flood risk reduction, riparian and flood plain habitat
- use of geographic information systems and multi-criteria decision analysis
- institutional/policy connections and incentives for sustaining freshwater resources
The project will involve stream gauging, water sampling and analysis, measurements and modeling of streambed seepage, and related studies as part of a multi-institutional and interdisciplinary team, including researchers, students, and others with multiple universities and regional, state, and federal agencies.
We are looking for someone who can begin soon! A successful applicant will have Ph.D. in hand at time of initial appointment. Other qualifications are noted on the flyer and posted with the position announcement on UC Recruit, https://recruit.ucsc.edu/apply, search for JPF01594.
I also encourage suitable applicants to consider the UC Presidential Postdoctoral Program, as noted on the flyer.
