All candidates must have strong coding, modeling, and communication skills supported with tangible examples of achievements.
We are particularly interested in candidates in the following fields:
- Computer vision: We are seeking a candidate(s) to work in collaboration with USGS on a project to process images from ground-based cameras to measure streamflow using LSPIV or other similar methods. The project will include image processing to determine water level and streamflow conditions. We are seeking a candidate with knowledge of computer vision and image processing with application to water resources.
- Flood sensing: we are seeking a candidate(s) who could contribute to the development and deployment of an operational network of low-cost sensors across the region to measure water levels during flood events and disseminate the collected data for their integration in operational hydrologic models. The candidate must have experience with software and hardware development. Knowledge in the field of water resources is preferable.
- FIRO: we are seeking a candidate(s) with strong knowledge in the field of hydrometeorology to assess the potential of forecast informed reservoir management in New Jersey. The work will be conducted in collaboration with local partners and will involve hydrologic and hydraulic modeling, the use of precipitation forecasts, and the optimization of reservoir management.
- Hydrologic modeling: we are seeking a candidate(s) who has a strong knowledge of hydrologic modeling with a particular interest in WRF-Hydro and the National Water Model. Familiarity with the NextGen framework is a plus. The candidate(s) will work on various modeling tasks that cover cold region hydrology, streamflow routing, and high-resolution modeling of pluvial flooding.
Applicants are invited to submit the following documents:
- Cover letter
- Resume
- Samples of relevant authored or co-authored publications
- The names and contact information of three references
The application package should be emailed to Dr. Marouane Temimi (https://faculty.stevens.edu/mtemimi) with reference in the subject to the position “PhD” or “Postdoc” and one of the abovementioned project(s) like “PhD_FIRO”. While we thank all those who express interest in the position, we will only contact shortlisted candidates for an interview. Review of applications will begin immediately. The positions will remain open until filled.
