The Department of Environmental Sciences at the University of California Riverside (UCR) seeks to hire a postdoctoral researcher. The selected candidate will work closely with a team of scientists from UCR and the USDA on the development of a watershed model that couples existing 1D or 2D versions of surface water (KINEROS2), vadose zone (HYDRUS 1D), and groundwater (MODFLOW) models that are open source. The specific objectives of the project include developing a computationally efficient watershed model to simulate groundwater-surface interactions, erosion, reactive solute transport, and preferential flow and transport processes. This research position will provide an exceptional professional development opportunity in a highly collaborative, multidisciplinary environment.
Qualifications:
The successful candidate should hold a Ph.D. in Hydrology, Civil and Environmental Engineering or a related field with a specialization in physical hydrology or hydrogeology. Candidates must have received a PhD within the past five years from an accredited college or university.
