We are seeking for two PhD students and two MS students to join an NSF funded “Signals in Soils” project and characterize biotic and abiotic CO2 fluxes from irrigated dryland agricultural systems in the Rio Grande Valley at The University of Texas at El Paso (UTEP). Students could join the Departments of Geological Sciences (https://www.utep.edu/science/geology/) or Biological Sciences (https://www.utep.edu/science/biology/), or the PhD program of Environmental Science and Engineering, and will be part of an inter-disciplinary collaborative team between UTEP and Texas A&M University AgriLife Research Center at El Paso.
This project will test the extent to which pedogenic carbonate accumulation in irrigated dryland soils emits an important anthropogenically-induced CO2 flux to the atmosphere. Students will work with a team of a biologist, a geochemist, a soil scientist and a civil engineer to provide essential knowledge of how irrigation intensity, water chemistry, soil texture, and crop type affect calcium carbonate formation. Students will collaborate with scientists to combine eddy-covariance, isotopic, and geochemical techniques with novel UAV-based remote sensing to develop multi-scalar approaches to capture and model spatiotemporal variation of abiotic CO2 exchange from ecosystem to atmosphere. Students will work with the team to develop their projects according to their primary interests and to gain the skills and confidence for making independently driven intellectual contributions. Education and outreach opportunities are available.
We seek applicants who have desire to advance carbon flux monitoring with expanded tools and basic knowledge of ecosystem ecology, biogeochemistry, isotopic techniques, hydrology, or carbon cycling. It is preferred but not required if you have experience with automated sensors and data-logging systems, instrument maintenance in field conditions, data analytical and statistical skills, a programing language (e.g., R or python), or experience with eddy covariance systems/data.

'''Multiple PhD and postdoc positions available in computational hydrology, University and Calgary and University of Saskatchewan (Canada)'''
'''What you will do:'''<br>
Broadly speaking, the work will focus on designing and implementing various water resources modelling and prediction tools, assessing and improving their performance across a range of hydrological environments using in-situ and remote sensing data, benchmarking observations from research basins, running large-domain simulations on supercomputers, and working with users to improve the value of modelling and prediction products for water resources planning and management. The successful candidates will have the opportunity to work on many different aspects of hydrological science, including cold regions processes, uncertainty quantification, isotope tracer modelling, stochastic modelling, and water quality prediction. The specific research focus will be determined based on the new hire’s skills, interests, and career/learning goals. It is expected that the new hires will present their research findings at international conferences and publish them in international journals.
'''Research environment:'''<br>
Our research groups build tools to simulate and predict hydrological processes on spatial scales from hillslopes to continents and time scales from seconds to centuries. Some of our example contributions include ensemble forcing data for large-domain hydrological models, multi-scale modular hydrological models, continental-domain network routing models, ensemble methods for data assimilation, and process-based methods for model benchmarking and model evaluation. Much of our model development work is targeted toward applications in ensemble streamflow forecasting, water security assessments, diagnostic evaluations of hydrological change, water quality modelling, and improving how hydrological processes are represented in Earth System models.
We are committed to providing a safe, positive, respectful, accessible, and non-discriminatory workplace for everyone by ensuring that the Equity, Diversity, Inclusion, Accessibility culture thrives within our research teams. The following principles shape our research environment: Equity – the research environment is most effective if each team member has the opportunity for intellectual and personal growth; Diversity – the research environment is most effective if it includes people with different backgrounds, perspectives, and world views; Inclusion – the research environment is most effective where all team members trust each other, support each other, and work together closely to help each other succeed; Accessibility – the research environment supports programs, services, and products so they are accessible to people living with various abilities. We recognize that preferred scientific approaches may differ for individuals and institutions, and rigorous yet constructive dialog about such differences are both welcome and encouraged.

With the recruitment of Prof. Martyn Clark to fill a new research chair in environmental prediction (starting September 2023), and the establishment of a new 30-person “water hub” in the Civil Engineering Department, the University of Calgary is rapidly growing its profile in water research. The postdoctoral fellows will work in the new water hub at the University of Calgary campus on projects led by Profs. Alain Pietroniro, Tricia Stadnyk, and Martyn Clark.
The available positions are:
* Improving model representations of hydrological processes across the North American continent;
* Estimating spatially distributed parameter fields in large-domain hydrological models; and
* Developing hybrid process-based and machine learning models to simulate and predict hydrological processes.
Because of the computational focus of the work, a strong background in hydrological modelling, scientific software development, or high-performance computing is required.
'''Research environment:'''<br>
Our research group builds tools to simulate and predict hydrological processes on spatial scales from hillslopes to continents and time scales from seconds to centuries. Some of our example contributions include ensemble forcing data for large-domain hydrological models, multi-scale modular hydrological models, continental-domain network routing models, ensemble methods for data assimilation, and process-based methods for model benchmarking and model evaluation. Much of our model development work is targeted toward applications in ensemble streamflow forecasting, water security assessments, diagnostic evaluations of hydrological change, water quality modelling, and improving how hydrological processes are represented in Earth System models.
We are committed to providing a safe, positive, respectful, accessible, and non-discriminatory workplace for everyone by ensuring that the Equity, Diversity, Inclusion, Accessibility culture thrives within our research teams. The following principles shape our research environment: Equity – the research environment is most effective if each team member has the opportunity for intellectual and personal growth; Diversity – the research environment is most effective if it includes people with different backgrounds, perspectives, and world views; Inclusion – the research environment is most effective where all team members trust each other, support each other, and work together closely to help each other succeed; Accessibility – the research environment supports programs, services, and products so they are accessible to people living with various abilities. We recognize that preferred scientific approaches may differ for individuals and institutions, and rigorous yet constructive dialog about such differences are both welcome and encouraged.
'''Desired qualifications and skills:'''<br>
Postdoctoral scholars should have a recent Ph.D. degree (0-3 years of postdoctoral experience) in hydrology, civil engineering, geography, environmental science, earth science, computer science, data science, physics, or related discipline, and meet some of the following criteria:
* Demonstrated record of high-quality research and publication.
* In-depth knowledge of hydrological and water resources principles, modeling and forecasting.
* Experience handling large and heterogeneous geophysical datasets.
* Strong competence in data preparation/analysis/visualization with Python, R, or a similar scripting and visualization language.
* Competence in using Linux environments.
* Experience with high performance computing.
* Strong competence in programming with C/C++ or Fortran for model development & debugging.
* Competence in software engineering best practices such as unit testing, use of modern version control systems, such as git, use of profilers / debuggers, software development etc.
* Experience and dedication to open science.
* Ability to communicate clearly, concisely, and effectively in both spoken and written English.
* Sharp analytical abilities and problem-solving skills.
* Demonstrated leadership abilities and record of positive contributions in a team environment.
* Ability to work with minimal supervision, multi-task, and prioritize workload.
* Interest in mentoring junior team members.
* Interest in science communication (e.g., blog posts, social media, and media interviews).
