Position 1. Flood Inundation Modeling: We seek an individual with a PhD in Geography, Environmental Science, Environmental Engineering, or a related field with a strong interest in numerical modeling and geospatial analysis. This individual will contribute to the project’s goals of: (1) developing novel capabilities of representing the hydraulic characteristics (e.g. channel morphology, roughness) of rivers, floodplains, and urban environments; (2) developing a framework for large-scale hydraulic flood modeling across the United States. These research activities will be led by Dr. Cohen and the individual is expected to assist in day-to-day lab operations, including mentoring graduate and undergraduate students.
Position 2. Flood Remote Sensing: We seek an individual with a PhD in Geography, Environmental Science, Environmental Engineering, or a related field with a strong interest in remote sensing, geospatial analysis, and web-GIS. This individual will contribute to the project’s goals of: (1) developing a large repository of flood inundation maps based on remote sensing and metadata analyses; (2) developing novel techniques for extracting hydraulic characteristics of rivers, floodplains, and urban environments. These research activities will be led by Dr. Liu and the individual is expected to assist in day-to-day lab operations, including mentoring graduate and undergraduate students.
The positions are available for 2 years (with the possibility of an additional year) of funding at $60-65k/yr (pending experience/qualifications) with health and retirement benefits.
To express interest in the positions, please contact Dr. Cohen (sagy.cohen@ua.edu) and Dr. Liu (Hongxing.Liu@ua.edu) with (a) complete curriculum vitae; (b) a brief statement on research interest; (c) a sample of relevant papers published as first-author, and (d) names and contact details of three references. Successful candidates will be referred to the university job application webpage.
