PROJECTS My group currently has multiple research projects funded by National Science Foundation, Environmental Protection Agency and Florida Department of Environmental Protection on the broad area of water resources and hydrology. The topics include predicting compounding floods, climate change and sea level rise impacts, surface water pollution and harmful algae bloom (HAB). While the postdoc will primarily focus on modeling compounding floods in coastal areas, involvement in other projects may be expected on a need basis. The selected candidate will present the findings in peer-reviewed articles and conferences. It is also expected that the postdoc contributes to student mentoring and assist in writing research grants. REQUIRED/DESIRED QUALIFICATIONS AND SKILLS • Holding a doctoral degree in engineering (civil, agricultural, water resources or environmental), sciences (environmental, geographical or earth) or any closely related field • Understanding of physical processes related to compounding floods in coupled inland-coastal systems under climate change and sea level rise • Computer programming (R, MATLAB or Python), hydrologic and hydrodynamic modeling as well as stochastic, statistical, time series and geospatial analyses (e.g., GIS) • Strong analytical and quantitative skills • Independency, communication, presentation (oral and written), fast learning and the ability to work in an interdisciplinary team.
