The Department of Environmental Science (ENVS) at the University of Arizona is searching for an outstanding candidate to join our diverse and interdisciplinary faculty as a tenure-track Assistant Professor. The successful candidate will fill an exciting new research and teaching position focused on the interface of soil science, plant biology, global change, and sustainable above- and below-ground biomass production and carbon storage in relation to climate challenges and drought. We are particularly interested in candidates who characterize landscape structure and function at regional to global scales as affected by changing climate, with application to adaptation and mitigation measures. The incumbent will use an interdisciplinary field observatory, remote sensing, and/or modeling approach to predict, design, construct, restore, and/or sustainably manage soils and associated ecosystems in a way that meets the evolving needs of human society and the natural environment. Potential research focus areas include regional to global scale changes in soil carbon; eco-engineering of carbon sequestration; soil-plant-water-nutrient-amendment relations; design of resilient soil systems using integrated management; development of innovative technological tools (e.g., remote sensing and machine learning/artificial intelligence big data analytics) for assessing the sensitivity, sustainability, and mitigation potentials of soils and ecosystems. Outstanding opportunities exist for interaction with faculty, students, and staff in the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences (CALS), the Earth Dynamics Observatory, and the multidisciplinary School of Earth and Environmental Sciences (SEES).

The Department of Geography at Durham University invites applications for a postdoctoral research associate in quantitative geomorphology. The postdoctoral scholar will work with Dr. Fiona Clubb (Durham), Dr. David Milledge (Newcastle) and Prof. Hugh Sinclair (Edinburgh) on cascading landslide and flood hazards in the Garhwal Himalaya, India. The research project “Dynamic Risks for Cascading Himalayan Hazards” is funded by NERC and the Indian Ministry of Earth Sciences and involves UK researchers at Edinburgh, Durham, Newcastle, Glasgow, Bristol, and York; and Indian researchers at IIT Kanpur, Doon, OP Jindal Global, Sikkim, NGRI, and NCESS. The project aims to co-produce, with stakeholders, the first quantitative understanding of the dynamic risk associated with landslide mechanisms that generate unstable sediment storage (or “sediment bombs”) within mountain systems, the processes that trigger downstream sediment release in hyperconcentrated flows, and the impact that this has on subsequent flood inundation down the river network.
The successful applicant will be expected to quantify sediment flux to rivers from both shallow and deep landslides using remote sensing imagery, automated landslide detection algorithms, and empirical modelling. They will compare the locations and volumes of landslide sediment flux to sediment bombs mapped within the river network. They will be expected to use machine learning classification of fluvial systems to generate a time-series of sediment erosion and deposition from optical satellite imagery. These data will be an essential component of the wider project which aims to explore how landslide-derived sediment and sediment bomb accumulation and release modifies flood inundation and therefore dynamic risk for the Alaknanda catchment. They will also be expected to participate in wider team meetings, fieldwork in the Garhwal Himalaya, and workshops which will be held both in the UK and in India.
Position Details: The appointment is for 2 years with an anticipated start date of September 1, 2024. It is housed within the Department of Geography at Durham University in coordination with Dr. Fiona Clubb, and will also involve working closely with Prof. Hugh Sinclair (Edinburgh, project lead) and Dr. David Milledge (Newcastle), along with the wider project team. The position includes a generous benefits package including 30 days annual leave in addition to 8 public holidays and 4 customary days – a total of 42 days per year.
Applicants should submit a CV and cover letter which details their experience, skills, and achievements in meeting (or the potential to meet) the criteria set out in the job description.

The Department of Geography at Indiana University-Bloomington seeks a postdoctoral researcher as part of the United States Geological Survey (USGS) National and Regional Climate Adaptation Science Center’s Climate Adaptation Postdoctoral (CAP) Fellows Program. The CAP postdoctoral fellow will be based at Indiana University-Bloomington in the lab of Dr. Darren Ficklin, but will also be supervised and mentored by collaborators from the Midwest Climate Adaption Science Center (MW CASC).
The CAP postdoctoral fellow will lead a regionally-focused research project focused on the entire Great Lakes Basin that will assess how aquatic ecosystem habitats (i.e., stream temperature regimes) will respond to changes from rain on snow events under climate change. This will allow watersheds/rivers to be targeted for future restoration and mitigation. The project outputs will be developed in conjunction with the project team and members of the Little Traverse Bay Bands of Odawa Indians as well as other stakeholders to be included as the project progresses. In addition to the main supervisor (Dr. Darren Ficklin), the project team includes Dr. Jason Knouft (Saint Louis University), Samuel Day and Carrie O. Coy (Little Traverse Bay Bands of Odawa Indians), and Dr. Karen Murchie (Shedd Aquarium).
This position is part of the USGS CASC Future of Aquatic Flows cohort (a part of the CAP Fellows Program). A total of nine postdoctoral positions are available, one at each regional Climate Adaptation Science Center, as two-year appointments. The successful CAP scholar will:
1. Collaborate with other CAP scholars from across the country on national-scale research and synthesis on how climate change will impact aquatic flows and how this information can be integrated into aquatic ecosystem management.
2. Participate in training and professional development opportunities offered by the CASC network.
3. Develop and adapt a GIS-based Soil & Water Assessment Tool (SWAT) hydrologic model for the entire Great Lakes Basin using high-performance parallel computing systems.
4. Develop independent lines of research and will have the opportunity to collaborate with biologists, hydrologists, and informatics specialists at Indiana University and other collaborators within the MW CASC.
The Department of Geography at Simon Fraser University, in Burnaby, British Columbia, invites applications for a tenure-track position in surface water hydrology. The appointment will be at the rank of Assistant Professor, and will begin 1 August 2019.
The ideal candidate will have expertise in surface water hydrology that integrates field hydrology with numerical modelling, Earth observation, and/or statistical hydrology. Their research focus could range from small-basins to big-river scale and may include ecohydrology. They will build an externally-funded research program that complements and contributes to our research strengths in the water sciences and global environmental change.
