<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt">We seek a Postdoctoral
Research Scientist to investigate the hydrologic impacts of recent changes in
land-cover and climate over key regions of the United States. Specifically, the
goals of this research are to (1) identify the drivers of increased flood
severity within the Missouri River Basin over the last 4 decades using a
hydrologic modeling framework, and (2) assess the impacts of land-cover change
on evapotranspiration in the Great Plains region to provide insights on the
direction of future changes under projected climate scenarios. The participant is
encouraged to develop new and novel approaches to these problems and extend
their work to other geographical domains. The participant will become familiar
with the latest approaches for quantifying disturbance impacts with geospatial tools
including land surface modeling and statistical analyses. This research
position will provide an exceptional professional development opportunity in a
highly collaborative, multidisciplinary environment, with the potential to participate
in education and outreach activities. </span></p>
