NRC Post Doctoral position funded by US EPA to study urban stream BMP's, Green Infrastructure, Restoration, and Low-Impact Development
One National Research Council (NRC) postdoctoral position (RO# 22.03.05.B7455) is available for a study of urban stream best management practices (BMP's), Green Infrastructure (GI), restoration, and low-impact development (LID). Support will be provided through NRC with funds from the US Environmental Protection Agency (US EPA) for 1 year with option for renewing based on progress and available funding. The postdoctoral scientist will work with Principle Investigator Dr. Paul Mayer at the US EPA, Office of Research and Development, Ground Water and Ecosystems Restoration Lab in Ada, Oklahoma, USA. This is a collaborative research effort that includes opportunities for interaction with Dr. Sujay Kaushal (Univ Maryland-College Park), Dr. Peter Groffman (Cary Institute of Ecosystem Studies), and Tom Schueler (Chesapeake Bay Stormwater Network). Research will primarily involve synthesis, analysis, and publication of existing data on restoration, GI, BMPâs, and LID for nitrogen in urban streams and watersheds with potential for new measurements based on research interests of the postdoctoral scientist. Interested candidates should contact Paul Mayer ([email protected]) for more information. Applications must be submitted via the NRC web site. Application deadline is 1 Nov 2011.
