The WRELab seeks to better understand how watersheds function as systems with interactions among meteorological forcing, geologic setting, and ecological process; and how these systems affect critical water resources in a changing climate. To do so, we use state-of-the-science computational watershed and ecological simulators which are constrained with novel field and remotely-sensed measurements including stable isotope measurements and spatial-pattern calibration approaches. Current projects focus on the partitioning of rain and snow to streamflow and evapotranspiration in mountain environments, groundwater-vegetation feedbacks at watershed scales in a changing climate, and watershed responses to disturbances including extreme storms and wildfire.
The WRELab emphasizes productive collaboration facilitated by a dedication to a respectful and inclusive work environment. We encourage candidates from a broad variety of backgrounds in relevant fields (e.g., hydrology, earth science, ecology, geography, civil/environmental engineering) to apply. Candidates from historically and currently marginalized groups are particularly encouraged to apply and to ask the questions necessary to ensure they can feel safe, supported and comfortable in the lab, university, community, and field environments. Candidates are required to have a Ph.D. to start the position. Ideal candidates will have research experience, a passion for learning and scientific exploration, and a commitment to equity and inclusion. A positive attitude and the ability to work both independently and part of a team are required.
Funding: This position is fully funded with a competitive stipend for two years, and includes computational resources, field equipment, and funding for conference travel, as well as generous benefits. The successful candidate will be based in the Nahant Campus of Northeastern with a beautiful setting in the Massachusetts Bay.
