*Postdoctoral Researcher in Hydrologic Modelling at Wake Forest University*

Seeking a motivated Postdoctoral Researcher interested in collaborating on
a project that explores new techniques to investigate vegetation resilience
to drought. The goal is to develop a catchment-scale hydrologic modelling
framework that incorporates feedbacks between subsurface water storage and
vegetation growth and water-use. The project will involve numerical
modelling of surface-subsurface hydrology and plant phenology, as well as
synthesizing remote sensing data, field observations, and model output.

The Postdoctoral Researcher will be advised by Dr. Lauren Lowman
<https://engineering.wfu.edu/people/faculty/lauren-lowman/> in the
Engineering Department at Wake Forest University (WFU), and will have the
opportunity to work as part of a collaborative team of graduate and
undergraduate students in the Environmental Dynamics Lab.

Boulder, CO, and opportunities to network with members of the Dynamic Water
Cluster <https://criticalzone.org/dynamic_water> of NSF’s Critical Zone
Network.

*The Environmental Dynamics Lab is committed to fostering diversity and
inclusion in STEM fields and encourages candidates from underrepresented
groups to apply.*
