[ES_JOBS_NET] 2 Postdoctoral Research Scholar Positions Available in Hydrology and Hydroclimatology

[Gabriele Villarini]

I am seeking two post-doctoral research scholars to join my research 
group (www.gabrielevillarini.com <http://www.gabrielevillarini.com>) in 
the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at the University 
of Iowa, Iowa.

The research will fall within the broad topics of hydrology and 
hydroclimatology. Of particular interest is the examination of spatial 
and temporal changes in extreme events, their relation to different 
climate states, their predictability and projected changes. I am also 
open to other related research topics.

Initial appointment is full-time for one year, with the possibility of 
renewal subject to satisfactory performance and continued funding. This 
position is immediately available, and the start date is relatively 
flexible. Women and individuals representing underrepresented groups are 
especially encouraged to apply.

Applicants must apply by sending CV, cover letter, and contact 
information for 3 references to iihr-employment at uiowa.edu 
<mailto:iihr-employment at uiowa.edu> referencing job posting # 101289. 
Review of applications will begin as soon as they are received, and 
continue until the positions are filled. For additional information, 
contact Gabriele Villarini (gabriele-villarini at uiowa.edu 
<mailto:gabriele-villarini at uiowa.edu>).

The selected researcher will be part of IIHR—Hydroscience & Engineering. 
She/he will have access to an exceptional range of resources, including 
research computing support, laboratories, instrumentation and equipment, 
mechanical and electrical shops, etc.

The University of Iowa is located in Iowa City, Iowa. Iowa City has been 
ranked one of the nation’s most livable cities (USA Today, 2006), and 
one of the best small metropolitan areas for careers (Forbes Magazine, 
2013). This small city has a population of about 62,000. It is a 
community built around higher education, with vibrant cultural 
opportunities and a long history of international connections, 
leadership, and accomplishment. Iowa City offers the safe, friendly 
quality of life for which the Midwest is known.

*Qualifications*

Ph.D. in a relevant science or engineering field prior to starting this 
position is required. Candidates from subsets of fields including 
hydrology, atmospheric sciences, climate sciences and applied statistics 
are particularly encouraged to apply.

Experience in downloading and analyzing large data sets and model 
outputs is strongly recommended. Individuals with expertise in computer 
programming (in particular R and Python) and applied statistics are 
encouraged to apply.

*The University of Iowa is an equal opportunity/ affirmative action
