The new hire will work on hydrological and hydrodynamic modeling, with a focus on the use models such as CaMa-Flood with dams, and coastal hydrodynamics models (e.g., FVCOM). The new hire will also work on integrating land surface models such as CLM with CaMa-Flood, considering nutrient cycle (e.g., nitrogen routing), hydropower operation, irrigation, and groundwater pumping. A strong Engineering and computational modeling background is essential. The new hire will be a key member collaborating with an interdisciplinary team within MSU and globally. The research associate will have opportunities to closely interact with a wide range of stakeholders and collaborators toward developing sustainable solutions for dam development and operation, irrigation and groundwater use.
There will be close coordination with the social science team to utilize socio-economic data in driving the model and using outcomes to understand social dimensions of irrigation and groundwater use, and their role in the Earth system. There will be ample opportunities and resources for the research associate to grow professionally and achieve career goals. The appointment will be initially for one year with the possibility of renewal based on satisfactory performance and continuation of funding.
Equal Employment Opportunity Statement
All qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment without regard to race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, national origin, citizenship, age, disability or protected veteran status.
Required Degree
Doctorate -Civil and Environmental Engineering with focus on Water Resources, or a closely related field.
Minimum Requirements
PhD in hydrology, earth science, and/or related field within the last 5 years.
A demonstrable understanding of watershed hydrology and human impacts on water systems, evidenced by previous research outputs.
Expertise in developing and working with high resolution land surface modelling (Community Land Model and National Water Model) or global scale hydrodynamic model (CaMa-Flood), Coastal Hydrodynamic modeling (FVCOM), nitrogen routing models, data analysis and visualization, writing and modifying scientific code in Python and/or Fortran are required.
