Postdoctoral Research Associate in Integrated Hydrologic-Hydraulic Modeling at Princeton University Princeton University in United States

Princeton University’s High Meadows Environmental Institute is recruiting multiple Postdoctoral Research Associates in integrated hydrologic-hydraulic modeling. The position is with Prof. Gabriele Villarini and focuses on building an integrated framework to better represent interactions among physical processes, ecological systems, disturbances such as fire, and human and socio-economic systems.

This opportunity is especially relevant for researchers in hydrology, hydraulic modeling, flood-inundation modeling, computational hydrology, ecohydrology, vegetation dynamics, fire modeling, AI/data-driven systems, and large-scale environmental modeling. The work includes continental-scale hydrologic and hydraulic simulations, coupling with vegetation, fire, and socio-economic data, and multi-decadal analysis across spatial and temporal scales.

Applicants should hold a PhD in hydrology, environmental engineering, earth system science, or a related field. The posting highlights experience in modeling, strong programming skills, high-performance computing, and the ability to work across interdisciplinary domains. The appointment is based at Princeton University in Princeton, USA, and is an on-campus research role.

The position is listed as a 1-year appointment with renewal possible depending on performance and funding. The salary range shown in the posting is $65,000–$70,000. Applications are submitted through Interfolio using the provided portal link.
