Seeking postdoctoral applicants for Geosciences Research Associate
The University of Wisconsin Department of Geoscience and the Wisconsin Geological and Natural History Survey (WGNHS), in partnership with the University of Wisconsin Water Resources Institute (WRI) seek a postdoctoral research associate interested in addressing science and policy challenges related to groundwater quality and human risks. This position will provide a unique educational and career opportunity for a recent graduate who is interested both in groundwater resources and in the policy decisions affecting those resources. This is a 2-year appointment, starting as soon as possible with a flexible start date. The position will remain open until filled and applications will be evaluated on a rolling basis.
The research associate will focus on the challenges associated with assessing fate and transport of point- and non-point source contamination in groundwater. The successful candidate will: 1) Develop novel methodology to streamline construction of predictive groundwater models for forecasting contamination risks; 2) Implement novel tools to assess uncertainty and optimally reduce risks; and 3) Assess methods for effectively and accurately communicating with non-specialist stakeholders and policymakers.
