From CSDMS
2 Postdoctoral Fellow Positions: Soil Science, Geomorphology, Quaternary geology
Desert Research Institute (DRI), Nevada, United States
Apply before: 31 August 2020


The Desert Research Institute (DRI) is an environmental sciences research organization within the Nevada System of Higher Education. DRI is seeking 2 Postdoctoral Fellows:


Postdoctoral Fellow Position 1: Quaternary Geology/Soil Science/Geomorphology
Current project efforts are focused on developing systematic relations among landform type, soil properties, surface conditions, and vegetative cover that can provide realistic prediction or estimation of basic soil properties (surface and subsurface) including dominant profile features, and soil physical properties (e.g., soil thickness, texture, degree of soil development) across various glacial landform features. We are especially interested in scientists with knowledge and expertise in the geomorphology and soils associated with areas having a history of late Quaternary continental glaciation and related deposits and landforms.

Postdoctoral Fellow Position 2: Soil Science/Soil Physics/Soil Mechanics
Current project efforts are focused on developing systematic relations among landform type, soil physical properties, surface condition, and vegetative cover that can provide realistic prediction or estimation of basic soil properties, especially soil strength, soil moisture, and soil dust emission in both the soil surface and soil sub-surface.

The position is based at DRI's Northern Nevada Science Center in Reno, Nevada. Salaries are competitive and commensurate with qualifications and continued appointment (assessed annually for up to a maximum of three years) being dependent upon performance and availability of funding. This position is eligible for DRI’s benefits package and relocation assistance.
