Job Summary
The Hydro-Urban Bhaskar research group (https://aditibhaskar.com/) is seeking a postdoctoral researcher for the NSF CAREER project "Science and Education for Connecting Urban Irrigation Efficiency to Streamflow in Semi-Arid Cities". The position will focus on applying integrated hydrologic modeling to analyze hydrologic partitioning in urban areas with a focus on differences with climate and water management. Urban water management scenarios will investigate how landscape transformations shifting away from cool-season turfgrass affect groundwater recharge, streamflow, urban heat, and water use. Modeling will build on field-based data collected in Denver, Colorado and will be used to inform water management in the region.
