From CSDMS
Post-Doctoral Position for Groundwater Contaminant Modeling of PFAS
Colorado School of Mines, Colorado, United States
Apply before: 1 November 2019


We are seeking a post-doctoral student to conduct aquifer-scale groundwater contaminant transport modeling for poly- and perfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs), working with Professors John McCray, Kamini Singha, and Chris Higgins at Colorado School of Mines. The project involves modeling PFAS transport to understand past exposures to potentially exposed communities. The ideal experience would include basin-scale groundwater modeling using MODFLOW and MT3D or RT3D, or similar programs. The post-doc will be housed in the Civil & Environmental Engineering Department at Mines, and will be an active member of the Hydrologic Science and Engineering Program. Mines is an equal opportunity employer, and diversity in culture and experience is highly desired. The position starts as early as December 1, 2019, but a later hire (i.e., January 1, 2020) is acceptable. The term of appointment is expected to be 1 year to 18 months. Those interested should send a letter of interest and project relevant experience (1 page), a CV (3 pages or less), and names of 3 referees, including the candidate’s PhD advisor, by 1 November 2019 to Professor John McCray (jmccray@mines.edu).
