<div dir="ltr">*Project description*: <br>
EPA’s Mid-Continent Ecology Division in Duluth, Minnesota (<a href="http://www.epa.gov/med" target="_blank">www.epa.gov/med</a>) <br>
seeks a postdoctoral researcher in the field of watershed modeling. This <br>
project seeks to develop mathematical and empirical models that integrate <br>
hydrological, geochemical, biological, and socioeconomic data to support <br>
assessment of watershed conditions and management decisions. The goals are <br>
to predict how infrastructure and management practices can be used to <br>
enhance watersheds, waterbodies and their associated human communities <br>
using models that link-land use characteristics and causal human activities <br>
to watershed condition, function and integrity. The postdoctoral research <br>
will be expected to incorporate bioinformatics, including machine learning, <br>
data mining, intelligent data analyses, and multimedia mathematical <br>
modeling frameworks.<br>
<br>
*Education and expertise*: <br>
Ph.D in computer science, engineering, conservation or environmental <br>
science, information science, landscape ecology or landscape modeler or a <br>
related field. Experience in advanced GIS or mathematical modeling <br>
relevant to linking the cultural landscape to downstream environmental <br>
conditions.<br>
<br>
