The Yale School of the Environment invites applications for a postdoctoral associate in hydrology. The successful candidate will collaborate with hydrologic and public-health scientists to investigate concerns regarding groundwater contamination and human-health impacts of the East Palestine (Ohio) train derailment. The responsibilities of this position entail development, calibration, and testing of models for groundwater flow and solute transport at the watershed scale, as well as harmonization of databases and information requisite for supporting model application. The position offers the opportunity to contribute to a multi-disciplinary team on a high-impact study addressing community and scientific questions, to lead publications, and to present findings at scientific conferences and stakeholder meetings. Graduate-level training in hydrology, proficiency in application of relevant hydrologic modeling platforms (e.g., MODFLOW/MODPATH, PARFLOW), and experience with GIS are essential for this position. The initial appointment is for 12 months with a possibility of a one-year extension. To apply, send a description of research experience, curriculum vitae, reprints of publications, and contact information for three references to Professor James Saiers at james.saiers@yale.edu. Application review will begin immediately.
Best regards,
Of interest for: Hydrology Focus Research Group
