Dear Colleague,
Please post the job announcement listed below. Thank you!

Wil Wollheim
Post-Doctoral Opportunity: Modeling Arctic Stream Biogeochemistry -
The University of New Hampshire seeks a highly motivated postdoctoral
scientist who will address research questions regarding arctic stream
biogeochemical processes, the influence of the hyporheic zone,
responses to changing seasonality, and consequences for nutrient
fluxes at river network scales. The successful candidate will be
expected to develop, apply, and evaluate models to address these
questions. Modeling will focus on the seasonally dynamic role of the
hyporheic zone, a critical area of biogeochemical activity that is
expected to change as the arctic climate warms. Initial model
development will be at the reach scale, with ultimate translation to
the network scale. A background in mathematics and hydrology or other
environmental science is essential. The successful candidate must have
strong quantitative skills, preferably with a programming background
(including MATLAB or R). This modeling effort is part of a larger
collaborative science team that includes researchers from multiple
institutions taking field measurements and conducting experiments in a
number of arctic streams located on the north slope of Alaska. The
position is focused on modeling, but the successful candidate will
also be expected to participate in seasonal field campaigns at Toolik
Lake, Alaska during spring, summer, and fall conditions. Position is
available immediately and will remain open until filled. Applicants
should send a curriculum vitae, statement of research interests, and
contact information for three references to Dr. Wilfred Wollheim ([email protected]
).
