[ES_JOBS_NET] Postdoc position: watershed hydrology and biogeochemistry

[Margaret Zimmer]

The Zimmer Watershed Hydrology Laboratory at the University of California,
Santa Cruz is hiring a 2-3 year Postdoctoral Fellow to conduct research in
one of three areas of research: (1) catchment hydrology in non-perennial
river systems, (2) nutrient transport and transformations in coastal
systems, (3) wildfire impacts on watershed biogeochemical cycling and
export.

Current projects in the Zimmer lab span from headwaters to the
aquatic-terrestrial interface in coastal landscapes to better understand
how water is routed and the ecological and biogeochemical implications of
these pathways. We combine field, lab, and quantitative analyses to
quantify rainfall-runoff relationships and surface water–groundwater
interactions across a broad range of spatial and temporal scales. We seek a
scientist with knowledge, experience, or interest in two or more of the
following technical areas: Development and/or operation of field and
laboratory experiments to measure hydrologic or biogeochemical processes,
ability to work with programming languages such as R, Python, and MATLAB,
or numerical modeling of soil hydrologic/biogeochemical and physical
properties using existing software (e.g., HYDRUS, VS2DT, PFLOTRAN). The
ideal candidate thrives in a collaborative team setting.

The Zimmer lab is motivated to maintain a productive, diverse, and
inclusive lab environment and we encourage applicants from
under-represented groups to consider this program. In addition, UC Santa
Cruz has several initiatives to help foster a welcoming environment for all
(e.g. FirstGen Initiative, Office of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion).

The UC Santa Cruz Department of Earth and Planetary Sciences is regularly
ranked in the top 15-20 Earth Sciences department in the country. The
campus is located in the Santa Cruz Mountains, overlooking Monterey Bay, a
national marine sanctuary.

Interested candidates are encouraged to contact Dr. Margaret Zimmer at
margaret.zimmer ‘at’ ucsc.edu with information on research experiences and
interests, motivations to pursue this position, and career aspirations.
Ideal start date is Winter or Spring 2021, but this is negotiable, so
please provide information on preferred start date. Please include a
current CV. More information about the Zimmer lab can be found on the
Zimmer lab website (http://mzimmer.weebly.com/).
