ORISE Post-Doctoral Fellow:
Modeling hydrological outcomes of stream and valley floor Restoration.
The U.S. Forest Service’s Pacific Northwest Research Station is seeking a Postdoctoral Fellow (Post-Doc) with quantitative experience in hydrology – especially development of reach- to watershed-scale water budgets and groundwater flow modeling. The Post-Doc will be engaged in a highly collaborative multi-agency monitoring and analysis effort to determine the effects of watershed-scale restoration project in Meadow Creek, a tributary of the Grande Ronde River in NE Oregon. A critical focal question for this project is: Does restoration measurably augment late-summer stream flow? Answering this question will require use of groundwater flow models to simulate pre- and post-restoration flows and storage of shallow groundwater in the floodplains of the restored stream and development of a reach-scale water budget that accounts for all fluxes into, and out of, the reach. This post-doctoral fellowship will offer tremendous opportunities for collaborative engagement with a diverse group of researchers, managers, and stakeholders addressing critical land management issues in the inter-mountain western USA.
This is a full-time, one-year appointment, but could be extended for an additional year upon recommendation of USFS and is contingent on the availability of funds.
