[ES_JOBS_NET] Postdoctoral Research Associate in Modelling Coastal Wetland Processes

[Noyce, Genevieve]

The Biogeochemistry Lab at the Smithsonian Environmental Research Center (SERC) is seeking a Postdoctoral Research Associate for a Department of Energy (DOE) funded university project. The postdoc will be employed by SERC but stationed at Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) in Oak Ridge, TN to take advantage of the computing capabilities and resources. This position provides an excellent opportunity for the candidate to work with a multi-institutional team within a data-model integration framework. There will be immediate opportunity for engagement in two or more multi-year research projects within both SERC and ORNL.



You will work as part of a multidisciplinary team developing representation of ecological-biogeochemical-geomorphic feedbacks in coastal systems using the reactive transport model, PFLOTRAN and the land component of DOE’s Earth System Model - the Energy Exascale Earth System Model (E3SM). The position will focus on the brackish marsh of the Global Change Research Wetland at SERC, but candidates with research experience in other saltwater or freshwater coastal systems are also encouraged to apply.


Major Duties/Responsibilities:

• Develop and test new mechanistic modeling representations for coastal wetland vegetation and biogeochemistry, including the influence of redox conditions and salinity gradients production of methane and carbon dioxide
• Incorporate geomorphic feedbacks in E3SM’s land model (ELM)
• Work directly with experimentalists and observationalists to test hypotheses regarding variability in biogeochemical processes across coastal land-water interface gradients.
• Publish research results in high-quality journals, and present results at conferences.
• Assist in field work during intensive measurement campaigns.


More information about desired qualifications, ORNL, and SERC is available here<https://www.glnoyce.net/2022-modelling-postdoc>.

To apply, please send a 1-page cover letter describing your relevant experience and qualifications, a CV, and the contact information of three references to Teri O’Meara (omearata at ornl.gov). Applications will be reviewed on a rolling basis.
