Research for this position will include using hydrologic, geomorphic, and riparian ecological field data in a variety of ecological models to understand how shifts in climate and reservoir releases may affect river channel geometry and native and invasive riparian vegetation. The postdoctoral researcher will lead or contribute to tasks such as 1) aggregate and synthesize ecological and hydrologic time-series datasets; 2) develop quantitative models to predict effects of changing river flows on riparian vegetation; 3) write and publish peer-reviewed manuscripts based on research findings.
The ideal candidate will have strong quantitative ecological modeling skills and a broad understanding of riparian ecology, geomorphology, and hydrology principles. In addition, the ideal candidate will have experience using large datasets and strong skills with R or python programming. Strong written and verbal communication skills are also required, as is the ability to work well with an interdisciplinary team of scientists and managers.
The initial appointment will be for one year with the possibility of extension contingent on funding and performance. Compensation will include an annual full-time salary of $58,000 – $65,000 per year and funds for travel. Part-time work may be an option. This position will be hosted at CSU in Fort Collins, CO; however, remote work may be a possibility for active communicators with strong virtual communication skills. Throughout these projects, the postdoctoral researcher will work in close collaboration with partners and staff at the USGS Fort Collins Science Center, engaging with agency scientists and analysts to complete analyses.
Applicants should apply with CV, contact information for 3 references, and 1-page (max.) cover letter that includes availability to start, interest in/aptitude for working in-person or remotely, and experience working in a professional team environment. Please include a skills section in your CV, describing (in point form or list) the depth of your analysis skills and experience as they relate to: a) manipulating and analyzing large datasets; b) R, python, and other coding skills; c) statistical analysis used for past research projects, and d) using hydrologic, geomorphic, and ecological datasets in analyses. References will not be contacted without prior notification of candidates.
Reflecting departmental and institutional values, candidates are expected to have the ability to advance CSU’s commitment to diversity and inclusion.
