<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt"> We seek a postdoctoral associate to lead data analysis and modelling efforts for ongoing watershed biogeochemistry and hydrology projects in the Watershed Science & Hydroecology Lab at Michigan
State University. The postdoc will lead efforts to model and predict solute flux patterns across watersheds using large extant data sets and novel high-frequency stream sensor systems. The postdoc will ultimately apply their models to evaluate regional and
global change impacts on water resources. The lab represents a rapidly growing multidisciplinary team examining the influence of changes in climate and land use on water resources and watershed nutrient and pathogen transport. Michigan State University represents
a large and vibrant community for water research.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt"> The position requires a Ph.D. by the start date of employment in ecosystem ecology, biogeochemistry, hydrology, environmental engineering, ecoinformatics, or a related field. Preferred research
skills and interests include demonstrated knowledge of watershed carbon and nitrogen biogeochemistry, geospatial analysis, machine learning, statistical modeling, and time series analysis. Strong computer programming skills (especially MATLAB, Python, R and/or
FORTRAN) are required. A strong record of publications, GIS, and data-driven science is desired. We will begin reviewing applications on 15 May 2016, and the search will remain open until a suitable candidate is found. Start date is flexible in 2016, but preferably
in summer 2016. Position is funded for up to 2 years. For more information about our research group, please visit
