We are excited to share a postdoctoral research opportunity to model and characterize streams and their associated dynamic flows. This competitive postdoctoral opportunity is with Oak Ridge Institute for Science and Education and is located at US Environmental Protection Agency’s Office of Research and Development in Cincinnati, Ohio. Application period ends at 3:00 PM ET on January 10th, 2020. Please share with those who may be interested. https://www.zintellect.com/Opportunity/Details/EPA-ORD-NERL-SED-2019-14.
'''Overview'''<br>
The EPA’s Office of Research and Development (ORD) in association with the Oak Ridge Institute for Science and Education (ORISE) announces a postdoctoral research opportunity collaborating with a team of EPA/ORD research scientists to model and characterize the spatial and temporal variability of surface water flows across multiple landscape settings in the U.S.
The extensive stream and interacting riparian network play an integral part in maintaining clean and plentiful water for aquatic ecosystems and human beneficial uses. Yet modeling streamflow across the network is difficult as variable factors including precipitation, physiography and contributing area change in time and space, and gaged data to calibrate and verify model response is often limited. Recent advancements in remote sensors, data processing capacities, and statistical approaches may allow for bridging past technological barriers to improve simulations of surface water flows. The improved model outputs advance both the underlying scientific understanding of hydrology as well as aquatic resource management by providing a baseline for mapping flow permanence across local, state, and regional-scale watersheds.
The focus of this research will be to apply ensemble watershed hydrological modeling approaches, in coordination with field and remotely sensed data, to improve surface flow estimates across multiple stream networks. A primary goal of the research is improved lateral and longitudinal mapping of flow permanence in low-order stream systems and associated riparian wetlands. The work will initially concentrate on selected watersheds within the conterminous United States where field and/or remotely sensed validation data are available.
The preferred candidate will have a Ph.D. and experience in hydrology, environmental engineering, environmental science, ecology, geography, geology, or a related discipline. S/he will have experience in (1) numerical catchment-scale rainfall-runoff models (e.g., TOPMODEL, HBV, FLEX-Topo, others) or a combination of rainfall-runoff models (e.g., using the MARRMoT toolbox or others); (2) GIS/remote-sensing software and applications; (3) watershed hydrology; and (4) scripting (e.g., R, Python, MATLAB) languages.
The candidate is expected to join our productive and driven research team of watershed hydrologists and systems ecologists for a one-year postdoctoral research appointment. The position is expected to be extended for up to a total of three years, contingent on sufficient advancement and Congressional funding.
This opportunity is open for US citizens, permanent residents, and foreign nationals residing in the US for at least 3 years. For application and position information: https://www.zintellect.com/Opportunity/Details/EPA-ORD-NERL-SED-2019-14 . For visa-related information: https://orise.orau.gov/epa/applicants/default.html
Feel free to reach out with any questions: Dr. Jay Christensen (christensen.jay@epa.gov), Dr. Charles Lane (lane.charles@epa.gov), and/or Dr. Heather Golden (golden.heather@epa.gov).
We are excited to share a second postdoctoral research opportunity (https://www.zintellect.com/Opportunity/Details/EPA-ORD-NERL-SED-2019-07) to investigate, characterize, and quantify (via statistical, geospatial, and/or hydrological models) the role of landscape surface water storage features (e.g., wetlands, floodplains) and their associated hydrological and biogeochemical functions on downstream water quality. This competitive postdoctoral opportunity is with Oak Ridge Institute of Science and Education and is located at US Environmental Protection Agency’s Office of Research and Development in Cincinnati, Ohio. This position will complement the postdoctoral research position posted earlier this spring (now closed: https://cfpub.epa.gov/ordpd/PostDoc_Position.cfm?pos_id=1081), for which we’re currently reviewing candidates.
Application period ends at 3:00 PM ET on July 18th, 2019. Please share with those who may be interested.
'''Overview:'''<br>
Oak Ridge Institute of Science and Education (ORISE) in association with EPA’s Office of Research and Development (ORD) announces a postdoctoral research opportunity collaborating with a team of EPA/ORD research scientists to characterize (via statistical, geospatial, and/or process-based models) the role of landscape surface water storage features and their associated hydrological and biogeochemical functions on downstream water quality and quantity.
Many of the nation’s waterways remain affected by excess nutrients, which leads to harmful algal blooms, hypoxia, and poor ecological condition and drinking water quality. The focus of this research will be on quantifying how landscape surface water features (e.g., natural, restored, and constructed wetlands and floodplain systems) remove nutrients and attenuate flooding at large watershed scales. The research will be implemented using state-of-the-science “big data” (monitored gage data analysis and synthesis, geospatial and remote-sensing applications) coupled with advanced statistical, geostatistical, and/or process-based watershed modeling approaches. The work will concentrate on watersheds vulnerable to harmful algal blooms and used for surface water supplies and recreational activities.
The preferred candidate should have a Ph.D. in hydrology, ecology, geography, environmental or civil engineering, or another related discipline, and experience and knowledge in watershed hydrology and biogeochemistry applicable for watershed, landscape-scale, and/or surface water analyses, as well as: (1) Demonstrated skill in one or more of the following focal research areas: a) Advanced statistical methods, b) Geostatistical modeling, or c) Process-based modeling experience (e.g., Soil and Water assessment Tool); (2) Experience with GIS/remote-sensing software and applications; (3) Proficiency with scripting (e.g., Python, R, SAS) languages.
The candidate is expected to join our productive and enthusiastic research team of watershed hydrologists, biogeochemists, and systems ecologists this fall for a two to three-year postdoctoral research appointment.

We are expanding our group at the University of Minnesota by up to two (or perhaps three) postdocs, and may also be interested in bringing in a PhD student.
'''Postdoc positions: Fluvial geomorphology and wetland hydrology.'''
* Fluvial processes, especially bedrock erosion and river-network dynamics, with field investigations centered around the Lake Superior basin. This is part of a large collaborative project.
* Wetland health and restoration by implementing recent algorithms to study drainage-ditch impacts on water storage through the landscape.
See the attached flyer for more information and links to apply, and please feel free to contact me as well regarding any interest.
Understanding that individuals' expertise may differ, I am also open to hiring in ways that enable creative blends of these two themes, potentially augmented by questions surrounding paleolakes and global paleohydrology. In such cases, apply using the link for the position that you feel to be most applicable to your expertise and interests.
Start dates are flexible.
'''Possible additional postdoc: Riverine habitat & geomorphology.'''
There may be a near-future opening within a collaborative effort to study the hydrology, ecology, and geomorphology of the upper Mississippi River. This would involve data and future predictions into evolving habitats through and along the upper Mississippi, including significant and rapid geomorphic and ecosystem change. Please contact Jeff Houser (jhouser@usgs.gov), Colin Belby (cbelby@uwlax.edu), and myself if you are interested.
'''Possible PhD opening'''
If any of the above work interests you but you are looking for a graduate program rather than a postdoc, please feel free to reach out. Our official application deadline is 15 December, but we may be able to accommodate later applications this year.
