Post- doctoral Scholars in Ecohydrology - #600017 and #600030 Northern Arizona University seeks two Post-Doctoral Scholars to join an interdisciplinary group working to understand the hydrological effects of proposed new large, landscape scale forest restoration projects in the forested uplands of Arizona. One Postdoctoral Scholar will be responsible for:
(1) Examining the capability of existing evapotranspiration models and algorithms to predict evapotranspiration based on comparisons with evapotranspiration measured by eddy covariance, and (2) Writing reports and manuscripts related to the results of the study. The other Postdoctoral Scholar will be responsible for (1) Developing a precipitation-runoff model to accurately simulate runoff and streamflow related to forest restoration, (2) Linking or incorporating the hydrologic process model into an integrated decision support model, and (3) Seeking additional financial resources to complete the decision support model. The successful candidates will work closely with the Ecological Restoration Institute, School of Earth Sciences and Environmental Sustainability and School of Forestry at NAU. Minimum Qualifications: An earned PhD in Ecohydrology or related field (hydrology, ecosystem hydrology or related fields). Annual Salary: $45,000 (#600017) and $50,000 (#600030). Application Deadline: November 21, 2012 at midnight (#600017) and November 27, 2012 at midnight (#600030). Please see nau.jobs for full job descriptions and details on how to apply on-line!
