About this position
Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory is seeking a postdoctoral researcher to study water infrastructure systems and their management under changing environmental conditions and compounding stressors. The research combines water systems modeling, data analysis, decision analytics, and uncertainty quantification to evaluate vulnerabilities and identify adaptation strategies for environmental extremes, increasing demand, and land-use change.
The researcher will primarily contribute to two projects. One examines data-center water use and its effects on water resources through a Lab Directed Research and Development project. The other develops and analyzes water system models for the Pacific West under drought scenarios through the HyperFACETS project. Additional contributions may support water systems science and resilience research within the National Alliance for Water Innovation.
Work will include developing and applying models of water systems, evaluating model performance and sensitivities, analyzing observed and simulated data, quantifying uncertainty, and assessing alternative management options. The researcher will also engage water and energy resource managers to refine analyses and translate operational contexts into actionable scientific insights.
The position is based within the Climate & Ecosystems Division of Berkeley Lab’s Earth and Environmental Sciences Area. It offers an interdisciplinary and multi-institutional research environment involving water managers, environmental engineers, Earth scientists, social scientists, and other professional communities. Research findings will be communicated through working-group discussions, technical exchanges, scientific meetings, oral presentations, and peer-reviewed publications.

What's required
Applicants should have a recent PhD in Environmental Sciences, Environmental Engineering, Civil Engineering, Hydrology, or a related technical discipline; less than three years of paid postdoctoral experience; knowledge of state-of-the-art water infrastructure modeling tools and data sources; knowledge of current Earth and climate modeling capabilities and limitations; familiarity with multi-sectoral resource management and decision-making under uncertainty; excellent oral and written communication skills; ability to collaborate in integrated, interdisciplinary, and multi-institutional teams; and demonstrated ability to publish in peer-reviewed journals. Desired qualifications include experience engaging resource-management practitioners and experience with the WEAP and/or Pywr water systems models.
