*Postdoctoral Research Scientist Position in *

*Regional-scale Hydrology and Hydroclimatology*

*University of Colorado, Boulder*

*Cooperative Institute for Research in Environmental Sciences (CIRES)*



We seek a Postdoctoral Research Scientist to investigate the hydrologic
impacts of recent changes in land-cover and climate over key regions of the
United States. Specifically, the goals of this research are to (1) identify
the drivers of increased flood severity within the Missouri River Basin
over the last 4 decades using a hydrologic modeling framework, and (2)
assess the impacts of land-cover change on evapotranspiration in the Great
Plains region to provide insights on the direction of future changes under
projected climate scenarios. The participant is encouraged to develop new
and novel approaches to these problems and extend their work to other
geographical domains. The participant will become familiar with the latest
approaches for quantifying disturbance impacts with geospatial tools
including land surface modeling and statistical analyses. This research
position will provide an exceptional professional development opportunity
in a highly collaborative, multidisciplinary environment, with the
potential to participate in education and outreach activities.

Research will be done within the University of Colorado’s prestigious
Cooperative Institute for Research in Environmental Sciences
(*http://cires.colorado.edu/
<http://cires.colorado.edu/>*), and the participant will be encouraged to
collaborate with experts from NOAA’s Earth Systems Research Laboratory
(*http://www.esrl.noaa.gov/psd/
<http://www.esrl.noaa.gov/psd/>*), the Western Water Assessment (
http://wwa.colorado.edu/), the department of Civil, Environmental, and
Architectural Engineering (*http://www.colorado.edu/ceae/
<http://www.colorado.edu/ceae/>*), and with other scientists and
stakeholders.



*Job requirements*:  We seek a candidate with strong quantitative and
analytical skills. The successful candidate will hold a Ph.D. in
engineering, hydrology, or related scientific field with a strong emphasis
on data analysis, statistical and numerical modeling of hydrologic and
climate systems. Experience with large-scale land surface or hydrologic
modeling is strongly desired. Interest in interacting with water managers
and regional stakeholders is also desired. Excellent presentation skills,
technical writing and are required.



*Preferred Qualifications:*  At least one degree in a related science or
engineering discipline is strongly preferred. Computer programming in R,
Matlab, and python is desirable. The position is full-time with a full
benefit package. The initial appointment will be for one year with the
possibility of annual renewal based on performance and the availability of
funds.
