Conduct field and laboratory experiments, comprehensive literature reviews, data synthesis and
analysis, statistical analysis,
* Write papers for submission to peer reviewed scientific journals as both lead and co-author
* Represent the Center on multi-stakeholder committees involving scientists and managers that
seek to restore the nearshore of Lake Tahoe,
* Prepare and give oral presentations at international and local meetings,
* Participate in outreach to landowners, decision makers, funders, and the general public,
* Coordinate field and laboratory undergraduate assistants.
'''Desired Qualifications for this Position'''<br>
We seek an experienced, organized individual with a background in aquatic ecology, invasion biology with an interest in restoration ecology and engaging with management agencies by attending meetings related to the development of environmental policy. Ability to dive and snorkel is a plus!

The University of New Orleans Dynamics of Sedimentation lab (UNO DoS; www.bedform.org) is seeking a masters or PhD student to contribute to the development of a new model for sediment resuspension that bridges the gap between the fundamental scale physics and practical applications of resuspension equations in morphologic models. Our approach is to 1) incorporate the best parameterization of the physical processes at the highest practical resolution and 2) incorporate fundamental scale understanding of resuspension by formulating the larger scale resuspension model as a probabilistic model. The student will contribute to the project by conducting high-resolution simulations of sediment resuspension, developing a probabilistic model, or conducting analysis of wave-driven sediment resuspension data. Applicants with experience or interest in developing high-resolution numerical or probabilistic models, data analysis in Python or Matlab, and strong written and oral communication skills are encouraged to apply.
The student will be co-advised by Robert Mahon (UNO) and Meg Palmsten (U.S. Naval Research Laboratory). To apply please email Robert with a brief summary of your interest and experience.

The University of Saskatchewan invites applications for a postdoctoral position in the Department of Civil, Geological, and Environmental Engineering. We seek a highly qualified and motivated individual with research experience in machine learning (ML) and hydrologic modeling, solid understanding of data science and data mining, and familiarity with conventional and emerging river flow forecasting tools. Strong programming skills, along with organization and communication skills, are necessary for this position. Knowledge in cold regions hydrology in general, and the Canadian prairies in particular, will be needed for the candidate to conduct the required research. The position is funded by the Oceans Program of the National Research Council Canada (NRC) for a period of '''three years. The start date is as soon as possible once the candidate is selected'''.
The successful candidate will work as part of a team of researchers and graduate students led by '''Professor Amin Elshorbagy''' within the Centre for Advanced Numerical Simulation (CANSIM). The candidate will work closely with NRC research engineers from the Ocean, Coastal and River Engineering Research Centre and will communicate frequently with staff from Saskatchewan Water Security Agency, Manitoba Infrastructure, Alberta Flood Forecasting Centre, and other stakeholders from the industry. The goal of this project is to develop generic ML-based models for season-ahead forecasting of spring runoff volumes/amounts in the Canadian prairie provinces of Alberta, Saskatchewan, and Manitoba to help provincial governments and other stakeholders in season-ahead planning and management of available water resources. This will also allow for forecasting freshwater fluxes into Hudson Bay, thus identifying a direct connection from headwaters to the sea.
Apparently, the project requires a candidate who has strong knowledge in prairie hydrology, computer programming (e.g., Python, R), GIS, ML techniques, such as different types of neural networks, including deep learning architectures, random forest, genetic programming, clustering, applied statistics, meteorology, and climate science. Experience with Linux, GPUs, cloud services, TensorFlow, PyTorch, and other similar alternatives would be very useful. Excellence in research as demonstrated through publications in international journals of high standing is desirable. The successful candidate will be paid '''$50,000-$55,000''' per year, depending on expertise and skills. In addition to fulfilling the project requirements and leading scientific publications, the postdoctoral fellow will also assist Professor Elshorbagy in guiding CANSIM graduate students, while enjoying collaboration with other research centres and initiatives of the University of Saskatchewan.
