From CSDMS
Arctic Land Surface Modeling Postdoc at Los Alamos National Laboratory
Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL), New Mexico, United States
Start reviewing process: 25 August 2021


The Computational Earth Science group at Los Alamos National Laboratory has an immediate opening for a postdoctoral researcher to study landscape change in the Arctic and its impacts on hydrologic, carbon, and nutrient fluxes.


We encourage applications from anyone interested in developing new representations of permafrost hydrology in watershed and land surface models. Our team advances understanding of interactions between changes to snow, vegetation, permafrost and hydrological conditions in the Arctic using direct and remotely sensed observations, including drone-based acquisitions, to test and inform models of landscape change. If you are excited about working on science to understand the changing Arctic, please apply!


Los Alamos National Laboratory is a fantastic place to further your academic and professional goals. Roughly half of postdocs at LANL decide to continue their career here, while nearly a quarter move on to academic positions. LANL offers highly competitive salaries and benefits packages. Additionally, the lab’s location in the “Land of Enchantment” makes for exciting recreational opportunities, with an enormous variety of trails for hiking, mountaineering, climbing, and mountain biking as well as ski resorts in all directions. Nearby Santa Fe offers unique cultural activities, while Los Alamos itself has a “small town” feel.


Please feel free to forward this posting to your groups, colleagues, or students who might interested in the position. Application instructions can be found at: https://lanl.jobs/los-alamos-nm/land-surface-modeler-postdoc/CF950E9E583944759B9FB6A8536864BC/job/.
