SENR. The successful candidate will be expected to develop a nationally-recognized
research program in watershed hydrology focused on hydrologic phenomena at the channel
to catchment scale. Ideally, this scientist will integrate field observations
and measurements with advanced techniques in hydrological modeling, geographical
information systems (GIS), and/or remote sensing. Research areas of particular
interest include (a) subsurface hydrologic processes, (b) surface
water-subsurface water interactions (that can include, but are not limited to,
nutrient fluxes, transport and fate of environmental pollutants, residence
time/cycling), and (c) hydrological responses to climate change, land-cover
change, and disturbances in agricultural and urban/suburban landscapes. Engineering
hydrology (infrastructure analysis, design, construction, and operation) is
outside of the scope of this position. </p>
