'''Your responsibilities'''<br>
The position is part of the research project "Amarynthos and the making of Eretria's sacred landscape," supported by the SNSF. The aim of this project is to continue the archaeological exploration of the large extra-urban sanctuary of Artemis Amarysia at Amarynthos (Euboea, Greece) and to study its insertion within the ancient landscape.
The doctoral thesis will focus on reconstructing the paleoenvironmental history of the Amarynthos region from the start of the Bronze Age (c. 3300 BCE) to present.
The student will be expected to apply landscape evolution modelling for a range of temporal scales to capture both long-term landscape evolution of the Amarynthos region and the detailed hydrological and geomorphological conditions associated with particular key time periods in the history of the sanctuary.
This work will be supported by high quality topographical (LiDAR datasets), existing cores from the region, additional cores to be collected, as well as the wider understanding that comes from the cultural history of the project. Indeed, the student will be expected to interact continuously with the archaeologists in the project to guarantee that the work that they do supports the wider objectives of the project.
'''Your qualifications'''<br>
The successful applicant should have Master's degree in a quantitative branch of the geosciences or archaeology that includes training in geographical data handling (e.g. GIS), remote sensing (e.g. LiDAR) and, ideally, computational modelling.
A geomorphological and/or a sedimentological background would be valuable.
Experience of fieldwork whether archaeological, sedimentological or geomorphological would be an asset.
Research includes significant fieldwork in Greece (Euboea).

As part of a study to improve hydrologic prediction of snowmelt runoff in mountain watersheds, we seek an outstanding scientist to join our research group at the University of Northern British Columbia (https://www.unbc.ca) as a postdoctoral fellow (PDF). Runoff from seasonal snowpacks represents a major component of annual streamflow in British Columbia, and hydroelectric power generation requires novel approaches to improve daily-to-seasonal water forecast models. The successful applicant will develop methods to assimilate LiDAR-derived snow depth data and satellite-derived snow cover extents to improve estimates of snow water equivalence and stream forecasting in mountain basins.
We are particularly interested in applicants with prior experience in numerical modeling, data assimilation and analytical hydrology. Minimum requirements for this position include a PhD in a suitable discipline (e.g. Environmental Physics, Atmospheric Science, Earth or Environmental Sciences, Geography, or Computing Sciences). Programming proficiency (Python, R, Fortran90, C or C#) is required. The PDF is fully funded for two years through a Mitacs Elevate fellowship (https://www.mitacs.ca/en/programs/elevate) which includes formal training in scientific research management. The successful PDF will also work with us to mentor two MSc students engaged in this research, and interact directly with our industry partner BC Hydro.
One of Canada’s top-ranked small universities, UNBC offers exceptional interdisciplinary research opportunities. Prince George, located near the center of British Columbia, is a diverse, thriving, and affordable community, with a wide range of outdoor recreation opportunities.
Interested applicants should send the following items to Dr. Brian Menounos (brian.menounos@unbc.ca) and Dr. Joseph Shea (joseph.shea@unbc.ca) by 15 September 2019:

* The names of two professional/academic references
As part of an interdisciplinary cluster hire in coastal water sustainability, the University of Delaware (UD) invites applications for two tenured/tenure-track positions in Water and Soil Remediation at the Associate/Full Professor and Assistant Professor levels. The cluster hire will focus on water quality, hydrological processes, human behavior, environmental restoration, and impacts on human and ecosystem health arising from increased stressors on coastal water resources. The cluster will complement existing strengths in water science, engineering, environmental soil science, environmental geochemistry, economics, and policy, and will establish critical new capabilities at UD in research and teaching, with six faculty hires: two each in environmental toxicology & epidemiology, water & soil remediation, and systems modeling. An interdisciplinary team of faculty from five UD colleges (CANR, CAS, CEOE, CHS and COE) developed the vision for this cluster, taking a systemic and solution-oriented approach to global water challenges in coastal environments, and providing several possibilities for primary and joint appointments dependent on new hire expertise. These faculty hires will contribute to a high-potential interdisciplinary environment and complement existing UD research programs.
'''Qualifications'''<br>
We are seeking exceptional candidates in Water and Soil Remediation at the Associate/Full Professor and Assistant Professor levels with interdisciplinary interests, who will develop extramurally funded research programs examining pollutants and their removal or degradation in natural or engineered systems.
