From CSDMS
Postdoc in Watershed Storage and Integrated Hydro-Terrestrial Modeling
University of California, Berkeley, California, United States
Start reviewing process: 28 February 2020


We are looking to hire a postdoctoral scholar to work with a collaborative team on a national-scale synthesis of lag times in water and solute transport to inform and benchmark integrated hydro-terrestrial models such as the National Water Model, National Hydrologic Model, and related codes (see project description: https://www.usgs.gov/centers/powell-ctr/science/improved-hydrologic-forecasting-through-synthesis-critical-storage?qt-science_center_objects=0#qt-science_center_objects). We seek a scientist with training in large-scale watershed hydrology and skills in data science, programming (Python preferred) and reproducible research. Desired expertise within watershed hydrology includes familiarity with large-scale streamflow forecasting and river routing models, solute transport modeling, uncertainty analysis, and/or isotope hydrology. Demonstrated experience publishing in the scientific literature is required. The position is based at the University of California, Berkeley, but with extensive collaboration with the USGS and NCAR. Candidates should be willing to commit to the project for at least one year, with the possibility of extension to a second year. If interested, please send a cover letter/statement of interest, CV, one writing and/or data product sample, and contact information for three references to Laurel Larsen at laurel@berkeley.edu. Review of applications will begin February 28 and continue until a suitable candidate is found.
