We are accepting applications for a Postdoctoral Fellow to lead components of an interdisciplinary study of the Arkansas River (AR). Funded through the Chancellor’s Fund for Innovation and Collaboration, the goal is to perform pilot studies on the Cenozoic origins of the Arkansas River, Pleistocene sediment yields within the lower AR basin, improve the modern sediment budget, and to connect these processes to economic activity along the river, including barge traffic and sand mining. We seek a post-doc who can lead some of these projects while working with a cross-disciplinary team of Dr. John Shaw (Modern Sedimentologist), Dr. Heather Nachtmann (Transportation Systems Engineering), Dr. Glenn Sharman (Deep-time Sedimentologist), and Dr. Jill Marshall (Geomorphologist and Critical Zone Scientist).
