I'm hiring a postdoc to work with me on a NOAA funded project focused on quantifying ecosystem co-benefits associated with wetland restoration in the Pacific Northwest. There will also be opportunities to apply similar methodologies using a national scale flooding dataset provided by colleagues at University of Bristol/Fathom.

I would expect someone to have basic familiarity with ecosystem co-benefit valuation (50%), and flood risk / damage evaluation (50%).

The ideal candidate should have some experience with numerical hydrodynamic modeling, but I'm willing to hire the right person if they don't have that experience.

Start date is as soon as possible, but I'm willing to work with the right candidate on flexible start times.

Please see the attached flyer for additional information regarding the position. Candidates can also reach out to me directly at mbrand@lsu.edu. Applications should be directed to: https://lsu.wd1.myworkdayjobs.com/LSU/job/3255-Patrick-F-Taylor-Hall/Postdoctoral-Researcher_R00091361
