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. </p><p style="font-style:normal;font-variant-ligatures:normal;font-variant-caps:normal;font-variant-numeric:inherit;font-variant-east-asian:inherit;font-weight:300;font-size:15.04px;line-height:inherit;font-family:"Helvetica Neue",Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif;margin:0.5em 0px 1em;padding:0px;outline:0px;border:0px currentcolor;vertical-align:baseline;font-stretch:inherit;color:rgb(68,68,68);letter-spacing:normal;text-align:left;text-indent:0px;text-transform:none;white-space:normal;word-spacing:0px;background-color:rgb(255,255,255);text-decoration-style:initial;text-decoration-color:initial">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.</p><p
