at the University of Massachusetts-Amherst serves to advance understanding of the nature and causes of climate change, and the effects that those changes have had on the environment. This research leads to a better understanding of how the climate system functions.
Its mission emphasizes high quality climate research at an international level, the education and training of student scholars, and outreach to the public through interactions with the media and public lectures.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<span style="font-size:11.5pt;font-family:"Helvetica",sans-serif;color:#444444">Overview: The CSRC seeks a postdoctoral scholar to develop, refine, and implement numerical models characterizing the land branch of the arctic hydrological cycle. The overarching
goal of the research is to advance understanding of linked hydrological and biogeochemical processes including the timing and magnitude of terrestrial freshwater export. The research is part of a larger project supported by the National Science Foundation
focused on changes occurring within lagoon complexes at the land-ocean interface in northern coastal Alaska. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

<span style="font-size:11.5pt;font-family:"Helvetica",sans-serif;color:#444444">Specifically, we seek a scholar with interests in 1) coupling of intermediate scale and high-resolution models to simulate 3-D hydrological-biogeochemical fluxes within watersheds
in northern Alaska; 2) improving model capabilities to account for dynamics controlling the generation/leaching of DOC and photo- and microbial processing in rivers. The successful candidate will engage the broader scientific community by publishing peer-reviewed
journal articles, presenting results at conferences, and participating in working groups examining arctic water and carbon cycle dynamics. The appointment will be for 2 years with potential extension contingent on satisfactory performance and availability
of funding. Salary is commensurate with qualifications and experience.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
