River estuaries. The postdoctoral scientist will have opportunities to 
work with an interdisciplinary team of researchers and stakeholders from 
the Chesapeake Bay Program, Delaware River Basin Commission, and Woods 
Hole Oceanographic Institution to assess groundwater-surface water 
exchange in the three study estuaries. The position will also provide 
opportunities to assist with implementing an outdoor hydrogeology 
instructional lab for students and groundwater professionals, as well as 
opportunities in mentoring high school, undergraduate, and graduate 
student researchers. The research may include limited field data collection.

transport modeling, and scientific programming (e.g. MATLAB, Python). 
The candidate should have experience working with model input files in a 
programmatic environment, and experience synthesizing large model 
outputs. Additional candidate strengths include experience in cluster 
computing, reactive transport modeling, and variable-density flow.
