Please share the following opening position with your team. We have an opening position at the University of Maryland-Earth System Science Interdisciplinary Center to work on Water Quality Modeling in Riverine Systems. We are looking for a postdoc or a researcher for this position.
The position is for 24 months.
Department: UMD/ESSIC/CISESS
Closing Date: This position is open until a suitable candidate is hired
Duties:
The Cooperative Institute for Satellite Earth System Studies (CISESS) is seeking a research scientist to participate in an exciting new research project to simulate riverine temperature and nitrate (NO3) concentration at the regional scale based on NOAA’s National Water Model (NWM) framework. The goal of this pilot project is to develop a framework and methodology that can be expanded to simulate these water quality variables at the NWM continental scale.
The quality of water is often as important as the amount of water. Poor quality can endanger life, property, economies and ecosystems. In particular, human activities have significantly increased nitrogen creation by over a factor of 10 compared to the late-19th century. Excess nitrate can cause oxygen depletion, algal blooms, and fish and shellfish reduction.
The successful candidate will work as part of an interdisciplinary team of experts that includes scientists from the NOAA’s Center for Satellite Applications & Research, Fisheries Service, and National Water Center (NWC), and the U.S. Army Corp of Engineer’s Engineer Research and Development Center. The position will be based at ESSIC/CISESS in College Park, Maryland.
Primary tasks of this project are to:
* Identify and adopt or develop appropriate water quality model(s) and algorithm(s) with capabilities of running over the scale of the NWM in consultation with the NWC;
* Implement coupling of nitrate database and the Land surface component of the NWM;
* Validate nitrate leaching from the Land Surface model;
* Implement offline coupling of NWM v2.0 with riverine water quality module(s), and;
* Calibrate and validate simulated riverine temperature and nitrate
Qualifications: Doctoral degree in hydrology/water resource systems, earth science, physics, mathematics, engineering, or closely related disciplines. Experience and expertise in hydrological modeling of water quality variables, Geographic Information System (GIS), Linux, programming, and High-Performance Computing (HPC) are preferred. Knowledge of the NWM is a plus. Candidates are expected to be motivated, self-directed, have strong communication skills in both oral and written English, and work effectively as part of a multidisciplinary team.
To Apply: Interested candidates should send a CV with a list of at least 3 professional references and their contact information, and a cover letter explaining how your qualifications meet the posted requirements to anegri@umd.edu.

'''Post-doc position in Earth surface processes and data science (up to 3 years)'''
We have a fully-funded postdoctoral position (up to 3 years) in geomorphology, hydrology, low-temperature geochemistry, and/or restoration science at Franklin and Marshall College to be filled by May or June of 2025. In particular, we seek a candidate with strong data science and modeling skills. This is the 2nd of a pair of post-docs for our research group, with the first hired in paleoecology and carbon cycling in 2024. The postdoc research is part of the Chesapeake Watershed Initiative (CWI; https://www.chesapeakewatershedinitiative.org/home), a research hub in the mid-Atlantic region established by Robert Walter, Dorothy Merritts, Chris Williams, and Patrick Fleming at Franklin and Marshall College with R. K. Mellon Foundation funding in 2021.
The postdoctoral scholar will develop a research project that best aligns with their interests and our overall goals to investigate landscape response to change and improve restoration practice and monitoring through scientific investigation. The postdoc research is associated with a large new restoration project, the Blue-Green Connector (https://lccbgc.org/), located along several km of the Little Conestoga Creek (LCC) in southeastern Pennsylvania and with similar projects in the region completed at different times over the past 15 years. The postdoc will lead efforts to establish a monitoring program along the LCC to evaluate landscape response to removing historic sediment and uncovering buried Holocene wetlands upstream of former Colonial-era millponds. Modeling landscape response to this major change could entail, for example, examining changes in streamflow, hyporheic exchange, sediment transport, or nutrient reduction, among other possibilities. The PIs are committed to supporting the postdoctoral scholar to lead peer-reviewed, high-impact publications.
The postdoctoral position is funded at $65,000/year plus research funds (including for meetings). It includes doing research with students and teaching one upper-level lab course or two seminars each year in the candidate’s area of expertise. The post-doc could teach a course on stream restoration, for example, and use local sites for field trips as part of the lab component. Financial support is available for students to be part of the postdoctoral scholar’s research group. In addition, the postdoctoral scholar and research students have full access to an impressive array of analytical instruments (a list is available on request).
Founded in 1787, F&M is a liberal arts college with small classes and historic strengths in the Earth sciences (among other fields). The Earth and Environment Department has outstanding faculty, students, and facilities. Lancaster is a wonderful small city with outstanding restaurants, markets, and easy train access to Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, New York, and Washington DC. The quality of life is high, with extensive bike trails and sidewalks. Nearby outdoor activities include many hawk watches along Blue Mountain and other Appalachian Mountains, the Chesapeake Bay, the Susquehanna River (some great kayaking), and the Atlantic seashore and dunes.

“Environmental monitoring data and probabilistic evaluation of irrigation water resources in Piemonte”
The doctoral project regards the use of environmental monitoring data for the evaluation of the irrigated areas and the water discharges actually utilised in Piemonte.
This project aims to quantify areas and discharges in order to prevent agricultural lack of water. Some drought has occurred in the last years, but today, an impressive amount of data is available and a variety of statistical and computer science tools can be applied for the study of this big data. Hundreds of meteorological stations in the Piemonte Region are operated in real time by ARPA every day. Also, the river level monitoring allows us to quantify the amount of water available for diversion in irrigation canals. These data cover more than twenty years and can be compared with satellite data.
This project will join specific mathematical models and a machine learning approach to combine ground and satellite data in an effective and unprecedented way. Furthermore, the use of such results will suggest prevention actions in order to limit the drought related risks due also to climate change.
