About this position
The University of Mississippi is recruiting a Research Associate for the National Center for Computational Hydroscience and Engineering (NCCHE). This research role centers on advanced hydrologic and hydraulic modeling for watershed hydrology, surface water systems, flooding, and water quality.
The successful candidate will contribute to the development and application of numerical models used to simulate rainfall-runoff transformation, streamflow routing, flood inundation, sediment transport, and pollutant fate and transport. The position also involves evaluating how land use change, climate variability, and extreme weather events affect flooding, watershed hydrology, water quantity, and water quality.
In addition to model development and validation, the role supports computational tool creation and decision-support systems for flood forecasting, watershed planning, and water resources management. The work is embedded in the University of Mississippi's research environment and the NCCHE's computational hydroscience focus, with an emphasis on applied analysis, simulation, and tools for water resources decision-making.
Funding details
Fully or partially funded by external research grants; continued employment depends on satisfactory performance and ongoing availability of funding.
What's required
A master's degree is required in Civil Engineering, Environmental Engineering, Environmental Science, Atmospheric Science, Earth Science, Hydrology, Water Resources Engineering, or a closely related discipline. Candidates expected to receive the degree by the end of the current semester are encouraged to apply. Preferred experience includes numerical modeling of watershed hydrology, surface water systems, flood processes, and/or water quality; model calibration, verification, and validation with field, laboratory, or observational datasets; peer-reviewed scientific publications; scientific programming in FORTRAN, Python, or R; laboratory or field experimental studies in hydrology, hydraulics, watersheds, flooding, or water quality; and development of computer systems, scientific software, or computational tools. Excellent oral, written, and presentation skills are also preferred.
