The University of New Hampshire seeks a Postdoctoral Research Associate to lead
an aquatic ecosystem modeling activity for the watersheds of New Hampshire. We
seek individuals interested in modeling coupled hydrological and biogeochemical
cycles in river systems at regional scales; linking terrestrial and aquatic
ecosystem models; integrating novel in situ aquatic nutrient sensor data into
aquatic models; and interacting with social scientists to quantify New
Hampshire's ecosystem services. A terrestrial and aquatic sensor network has
been deployed in a variety of New Hampshire watersheds as part of this project
by other members of the project team. The overall goal of this project is to
quantify terrestrial and aquatic ecosystem services for the state, and assess
tradeoffs among terrestrial and aquatic services under different land
management and future climate scenarios. The post doc will interact with
terrestrial ecosystem modelers, field researchers, and social scientists. The
position is funded through an NSF EPSCoR grant to the University of New
Hampshire, Dartmouth College, Plymouth State University and other New Hampshire
colleges.
Qualifications: The candidate must have a Ph.D. in ecology, aquatic science,
hydrology, geography or closely related field. The preferred candidate will
have experience with GIS and/or process-based environmental modeling. The
ability and desire to collaborate with terrestrial ecosystem modelers, field
scientists and social scientists is essential.
Duration and Start Date: Initial appointment is for 1 year, and may be renewed
for a total of 2 years depending upon satisfactory performance. Position is
available immediately, but start date is negotiable.
To Apply: Send a letter of application, statement of research interests,
curriculum vitae, up to three relevant reprints, and contact information for
three references (electronic versions of all materials are required) to Dr.
Wilfred Wollheim ([email protected]) with "EPSCoR Postdoc” in the subject
line. For more information concerning the nature of this position please
contact Dr. Wil Wollheim.
Deadline: Review of applications will commence 1 February, 2014 and continue
until the position is filled.
