About this position
Postdoctoral opportunity in hydrologic modeling and critical zone science in the United States, based in the Department of Environmental Sciences at the University of California, Riverside and in collaboration with Texas Tech University.
The project, titled “Understanding the Interface between Roots, Regolith, Rocks, and Climate — the R3-C Frontier,” is part of an NSF-funded interdisciplinary project. The research focuses on how critical zone thickness and root water uptake dynamics regulate evapotranspiration under changing climate and water availability conditions.
The selected postdoctoral researcher will lead hydrologic modeling experiments using physically based numerical models such as ParFlow.CLM, EcoSLIM, and HYDRUS. The work sits at the intersection of hydrology, soil-water processes, ecohydrology, physical hydrology, Earth science, and environmental science.
Ideal applicants should have a PhD completed within the last 5 years in hydrology, Civil & Environmental Engineering, soil science, hydrogeology, physical hydrology, or a related field. Desired skills include strong Unix/Linux programming, experience with integrated hydrologic modeling, inverse modeling, high-performance computing (HPC), a strong publication record, and collaborative research experience.
Informal inquiries can be sent to Dr. Hoori Ajami ([email protected]) and Dr. Daniel Hirmas ([email protected]). The post directs applicants to the official application form/contact page for more details and submission.
No deadline or funding amount is stated in the post, but the opportunity is explicitly described as NSF-funded.
