[Hoori Ajami]

*Postdoctoral Researcher Position in Integrated Watershed Modeling – UC 
Riverside*

The Department of Environmental Sciences at the University of California 
Riverside (UCR)seeks to hire a postdoctoral researcher. The selected 
candidate will work closely with a team of scientists from UCR and the 
USDA on the development of a watershed model that couples existing 1D or 
2D versions of surface water (KINEROS2), vadose zone (HYDRUS 1D), and 
groundwater (MODFLOW) models that are open source. The specific 
objectives of the project include developing a computationally efficient 
watershed model to simulate groundwater-surface interactions, erosion, 
reactive solute transport, and preferential flow and transport 
processes. This research position will provide an exceptional 
professional development opportunity in a highly collaborative, 
multidisciplinary environment.

*Qualifications:*

The successful candidate should hold a Ph.D. in Hydrology, Civil and 
Environmental Engineering or a related field with a specialization in 
physical hydrology or hydrogeology. Candidates must have received a PhD 
within the past five years from an accredited college or university.


*Skills: *
The ideal candidate will have:

·Strong programming skills in Fortran, Python, and/or C++;
·Experience using HYDRUS, KINEROS2, MODFLOW, and MATLAB;
·Experience with high performance and parallel computing;
·Demonstrated record of high-quality publications;
·Experience working in a collaborative research environment

*Application contents: *
·Cover letter describing the applicant’s research experiences and interests
·Curriculum vitae
·Names, addresses, email, and phone number for 3 references
