[ES_JOBS_NET] Postdoctoral Research Scholar - Stochastic Hydrology and Hydroclimatology

[Villarini, Gabriele]

IIHR - Hydroscience & Engineering (https://www.iihr.uiowa.edu/) and the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at the University of Iowa (https://uiowa.edu/) seek a highly motivated postdoctoral research scholar to join Dr. Gabriele Villarini's research group (www.gabrielevillarini.com). The initial appointment is full-time for one year, with the possibility of renewal subject to satisfactory performance and continued funding. Research will fall within the broad topics of stochastic hydrology and hydroclimatology. Of particular interest is the examination of spatial and temporal changes in floods, their attribution and projected changes. The research team is open to other related research topics and encourages all qualified applicants to apply.

The successful candidate will have the opportunity to work closely with faculty, staff, and students of IIHR-Hydroscience & Engineering (www.iihr.uiowa.edu<http://www.iihr.uiowa.edu>), a national and global leader in environmental and fluids-related research, education, and service. 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).
