<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt">The postdoctoral position is part of a project that will investigate how and when DOC moves through different types of rivers and ecosystems, especially during floods. The main objectives of this proposal
are to test assumptions of watershed DOC flux behavior and to develop new ways to quantify and forecast DOC flux across understudied flow regimes and ecoregions. These objectives will be addressed through multiple approaches, including data synthesis, modeling,
and new sensor technologies that will identify the key watershed and climate conditions controlling DOC flux across diverse landscapes.<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 postdoctoral position responsibilities include: execute and creatively expand upon ongoing data synthesis and modeling tasks, lead collaborative project papers, conduct field research in Michigan and potentially
the Alaskan Arctic, and assist with data management plan. The researcher will have the opportunity to mentor students and participate in STEM education and outreach activities. The position is based in the Department of Earth and Environmental Sciences at
Michigan State University under the supervision of Dr. Jay Zarnetske (</span><a href="http://www.zarnetskelab.com"><span style="font-size:12.0pt">www.zarnetskelab.com</span></a><span style="font-size:12.0pt">). A minimum of two years of funding is available
