Position Involving Geo-Ecological Modeling<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">A multi-investigator team comprised of
faculty from the Biological Sciences and Geography Departments
at the University of Alabama, Tuscaloosa, is seeking a
Postdoctoral Investigator for a two (2) year project on
geo-ecological modeling of rivers. Applicants should have a
Ph.D. focused in Physical Geography, Environmental Science, or
Ecology. The ideal candidate will have well-developed skills
in GIS modeling with a background in either fluvial
geomorphology, river ecology, or biogeochemistry. Competitive
candidates should have a strong publication record and a
desire to work in a highly collaborative and interdisciplinary
environment. Time will be spent working both with researchers
in Tuscaloosa and at Dauphin Island Sea Lab
(<a href="http://www.disl.org/" target="_blank">http://www.disl.org/</a>). This is a non-tenure track position on
a 12-month appointment and renewable based on availability,
funding, and performance.<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The overarching goal of this research
project is to use GIS-based spatial modeling to identify
fluvial geomorphic features in rivers of the Eastern U.S. that
may be creating ecological hotspots of nutrient retention.
Focus will be on broad-scale transitions in channel morphology
and habitat structure in large rivers crossing from one
physiographic province into another. In addition to modeling
efforts associated with this project, applicants should have a
strong interest in learning to utilize membrane inlet mass
spectrometry to measure microbial activity.<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">TO APPLY: Apply online at the UA staff job
application site: <a href="http://facultyjobs.ua.edu/" target="_blank">http://facultyjobs.ua.edu/</a>. The specific job
