Research Opportunity: Arctic and Temperate Watershed
Biogeochemistry<br>
Michigan State University<br>
<br>
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 (MSU).<br>
<br>
The postdoc will lead efforts to analyze and model solute flux
patterns across Arctic and Temperate watersheds using large extant
data sets and new high-frequency data from stream sensor systems.
The overarching research goal is to quantify controls on dissolved
organic matter and nutrient production, processing, and transport
through freshwater ecosystems, and to assess how these controls
are being altered by regional and global changes.<br>
<br>
The postdoc will work with a rapidly growing multidisciplinary
team examining the influence of changes in climate and land use on
water resources and watershed nutrient and pathogen transport. MSU
is a large and vibrant community for water research, and this
position is only one of several watershed science postdoctoral
associate positions in our department.<br>
<br>
The postdoc will be actively mentored to achieve their
professional goals, including individualized mentoring plans
focused on technical skills training, professional networking,
establishing interdisciplinary collaborations, mentoring students,
and eventual job placement.<br>
<br>
The position requires a Ph.D. in ecosystem ecology,
biogeochemistry, hydrology, environmental engineering, or a
related field by the start date of employment.<span
class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><br>
<br>
Preferred research skills and interests include demonstrated
knowledge of catchment biogeochemistry, mechanistic modeling,
geospatial analysis, machine learning, statistical modeling, and
time series analysis. Strong computer programming skills
(especially MATLAB, Python, and/or R) are highly desirable. A
record of publications and knowledge of biogeochemistry and
catchment science is desired.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><br>
<br>
We will begin reviewing applications on 15 June 2017, and the
search will remain open until a suitable candidate is found. Start
date is flexible in 2017, but preferably in Summer/Fall 2017. For
more information on the research group, please visit

Zarnetske (<a class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated" href="mailto:jpz@msu.edu">jpz@msu.edu</a>). To apply, please send letter of
application detailing research interest and experiences,
curriculum vitae, and names of 3 references (with telephone
numbers and email addresses) to Dr. Jay Zarnetske (<a class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated" href="mailto:jpz@msu.edu">jpz@msu.edu</a>)
