The DRIP (Dirt, Rivers, Ice, Particles) Lab at the University of Rochester is looking for a two-year postdoc to work on an NSF-funded project studying the effects of grain shape on sediment diffusion in rivers, starting in Fall 2024. The project is part of a larger effort in collaboration with experimental geochemist Dustin Trail at UR to better predict the location of critical mineral resources using fluvial sediments. Research will include fieldwork to track RFID-tagged pebbles of different shapes in a local stream in the Finger Lakes, with the opportunity for other approaches including probabilistic theoretical approaches, numerical modeling, and/or lab experiments. To express interest, please email rachel.glade@rochester.edu with your CV and a brief description of your research background. Field experience is a plus, but not required.
We strongly encourage interest from members of groups typically under-represented in geosciences and higher education. The University of Rochester is committed to creating a diverse workplace and an inclusive community: https://rochester.edu/diversity/. Rochester is also a cool place to live! You can have the feel of a big city while being minutes away from great outdoor opportunities—Lake Ontario, The Finger Lakes, Niagara Falls—and only a few hours away from Toronto.
Cheers,
Rachel
