Postdoctoral Fellow (https://utaustin.wd1.myworkdayjobs.com/en-US/UTstaff/details/Postdoctoral-Fellow-in-Water-Resources_R_00034698?q=Hydrogeology/Water%20Resources)

We are seeking a highly motivated individual to fill a postdoctoral fellow position (term subject to performance and research program needs/funding) to assist with a new research program largely focused on mapping disadvantaged communities (colonias) in Texas. A key focus of the research program is to use remote sensing and machine learning techniques to map and characterize the evolution of colonias through time. Essential for this position is the ability to a) implement remote sensing techniques to map the evolution of colonias through time, b) consider social and environmental stressors (including floods) on resident populations, and c) coordinate with academic and government collaborators from a wide array of backgrounds. This individual would also be an active member of the research team, participating in scientific activities (presentations, proposals, meetings) as needed.
