'''POSITION DESCRIPTION'''
The Universit … '''POSITION DESCRIPTION'''</br></br></br>The University of California, Berkeley seeks applications for a Postdoctoral Scholar in the Grantham Lab, in the area of Environmental Flow Science.</br></br>California supplies water to nearly 40 million people, sustains the most productive agricultural region in the US, and supports a rich diversity of freshwater species. However, persistent drought, extreme floods, and widespread environmental degradation are exposing significant vulnerabilities in the state’s water management system. Furthermore, decisions over how water is allocated rely on models that consider a limited range of climate and operational scenarios, are inaccessible to the public, and contain deeply embedded inequities. Building a resilient water future requires new water planning tools that advance sustainable, inclusive, and equitable water stewardship.</br></br>To meet this need, a new program (COEQWAL: COllabortory for EQuity in Water ALlocations) has been launched to develop a user-driven framework for water planning that leverages existing models used to operate California’s major water supply systems. The project will produce a library of alternative, user-informed scenarios of water system operations under a wide range of climate futures and time horizons and build a foundation for collaborative decision-making. </br></br>We are inviting applications for a postdoctoral scholar to join a research team to contribute to the development of modeling scenarios that integrate environmental flow needs in California water management. The candidate will bring subject-area knowledge, quantitative skills, and a passion for solutions-oriented research to: evaluate environmental water requirements in California’s freshwater ecosystems, develop novel management scenarios that preserve environmental flows, assess potential ecological responses to hydrologic alteration and variability, and communicate results to diverse audiences, including policy makers, community organizations, and the general public. Additional duties include disseminating research results through presentations and publications, and mentoring graduate and undergraduate students.</br>The project is a highly collaborative effort consisting of a team of researchers and practitioners located at multiple UC and CSU campuses, NGOs, government agencies, water districts, community organizations, and Native American Tribes. Within UC Berkeley, the successful candidate will be a part of the Grantham Lab and Freshwater Research Group in the Department of Environmental Science, Policy, and Management.</br></br>'''PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS'''<br></br>* PhD Degree in Hydrology, Water Resources Engineering, Freshwater Ecology or related field.</br>* Exceptional data management and analysis skills, including advanced statistical methods and computer programming (e.g., R, Python, MatLab)</br>* Research experience in environmental flow science and familiarity with environmental flow assessment methods</br>* Familiarity or expertise with hydrologic modeling methods, including rainfall-runoff modeling (e.g., VIC, HEC-HMS, PRMS) and statistical hydrology</br>* Excellent communication skills and the ability to work with a broad range of research and management partners in a collaborative environment</br>* Demonstrated evidence of research productivity, including strong publication record</br>* Experience working in collaborative, interdisciplinary research teams</br>* Familiarity with California water management issues and challenges</br></br>'''TO APPLY'''<br></br>For more information and to apply for this opportunity, visit: https://aprecruit.berkeley.edu/JPF04107</br></br></br></br></br>Ted Grantham<br></br>Dept.
