From CSDMS
Hydrology Position at Berkeley Lab
Berkeley Lab, California, United States
Start reviewing process: 18 March 2019


The Earth and Environmental Sciences (EESA) of Berkeley Lab is advancing and integrating diverse expertise to accelerate scientific discoveries and their translation into scalable solutions that simultaneously sustain the Earth’s environment and the growing need for energy and water resources.


We seek an outstanding Earth Scientist with a record of innovative research in hydrology. Aligned with EESA’s ‘Future Water’ and possibly ‘Sustainable Earth’ strategic directions, we particularly encourage applicants who develop and utilize novel field methods and experiments with theory to advance understanding of multi-scale, multi-phase behavior of hydrological systems. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: watershed response to extreme events and climate change; critical zone ecohydrology and hydrogeochemistry; aquifer storage and recovery; and bedrock flow and reactions.


The position is open at the Research and Staff Earth Scientist levels. At both levels, the incumbent is expected to develop a vibrant, extramurally supported frontier research program, contribute to exciting team-based projects, and take advantage of world-class experimental facilities at Berkeley Lab. At the Staff Scientist level, qualified candidates may also be considered for Department or Program Head leadership roles.


Berkeley Lab, located next to UC Berkeley, is part of the stimulating San Francisco Bay Area innovation ecosystem. Active collaboration with UC Berkeley is expected, and many EESA staff have formal affiliations with campus. The region is also recognized for offering a high quality of life, having both abundant natural beauty and exciting urban surrounds.
