From CSDMS
Postdoctoral Research Opportunity at Boston College: Computational modeling of landscape evolution at the watershed scale
Boston College, Massachusetts, United States
Apply before: 8 January 2021


We seek an individual with a strong background in quantitative geomorphology, sediment transport, geodynamics, math and physics, and/or computer modeling. This individual will join an interdisciplinary team of researchers at Boston College studying sediment erosion, transport, and deposition on the scale of an entire watershed. The postdoctoral position will involve the formulation, development, and analysis of numerical models to explore how climate and land-use change over the next decades to centuries will influence sediment delivery to reservoirs, harbors and coasts in the United States. Diversity, equity, and inclusion are core values of the Earth and Environmental Sciences Department and BC, and we specifically seek individuals from underrepresented groups. Funding is available for 1.5 years. To apply, email a CV, brief summary of research to date, and the names of 3 letter writers. To receive maximum consideration for this position, please submit your application by January 8, 2021.
