About this position

Prairie View A&M University is seeking a Postdoctoral Researcher for the NRCS-funded project in the Adloc Cooperative Agriculture and Research Center. The role sits within a land-grant university environment focused on teaching, research, and service, and will be based in Prairie View, Texas.

The postdoctoral researcher will contribute to a broad research program centered on environmental stressor mapping, climate-smart production, and eco-hydrologic analysis. The project involves creating stressor maps, establishing a demonstration research testbed on the PVAMU Research farm, and supporting implementation of climate-smart practices on selected farms. The work also includes county- and farm-level analyses of flood, drought, and soil loss, along with field and laboratory experiments to estimate carbon sequestration potential and collect environmental stressor data.

The position combines research, outreach, and collaboration. The researcher will help educate stakeholders, including farmers, on climate-smart resiliency and environmental benefits, while also assisting principal and co-investigators on related experimental and modeling projects. The job emphasizes spatial data analysis, land use and land cover impacts on eco-hydrologic processes, irrigation, and nutrient best management practices for natural resource sustainability.

In addition to core research duties, the postdoctoral researcher will support manuscript development, research reporting, grant writing, and presentations at scientific meetings. The role also includes participation in extension activities, collaboration with other researchers, and support for undergraduate and graduate students.

Funding details

Funded by a grant or restricted funds; continued employment is contingent on renewal of grant or restricted funding. Proposed minimum salary: Commensurate.

What's required

A Ph.D. in earth science, geography, eco-hydrology, civil engineering, geosciences, agricultural engineering, or another relevant field emphasizing remote sensing, carbon dynamics, climate change, or eco-hydrology is required. No prior experience is required, though 1-3 years of related work experience is preferred. Applicants should have experience in hydrological modeling, flood modeling, GIS, carbon and crop modeling, strong quantitative and programming skills in R, Python, C, C++ or comparable languages, strong numerical modeling and analytical/statistical skills, excellent verbal and written communication skills, and an interest in multidisciplinary teamwork. Preferred qualifications also include AI/ML experience, hydrology/flood-drought analysis, carbon dynamics, climate change impact assessment, spatial data analysis, laboratory analytical techniques, field research design, peer-reviewed publications, grant proposal writing experience, and the ability to work with and train undergraduate and graduate students.

How to apply

Apply through the PVAMU Career Site using the provided Workday application link. Submit the required Resume/CV and Cover Letter before the posting closes to ensure full consideration. Direct application questions to the Office of Human Resource at 936-261-1730 or [email protected].
