Sharing an exciting opportunity for microbial modeling at Oak Ridge National Laboratory. *Postdoctoral Research Associate - Microbial Modeling* Req # 11672 External Link to Apply Postdoctoral Research Associate - Microbial Modeling Apply now ? *Date: *Sep 18, 2023 *Location:* Oak Ridge, TN, US, 37830 *Company: *Oak Ridge National Laboratory Requisition Id 11672 *Overview: * As a U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Office of Science national laboratory, ORNL has an extraordinary 80-year history of solving the nation?s biggest problems. We have a dedicated and creative staff of over 6,000 people! Our vision for diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility (DEIA) is to cultivate an environment and practices that foster diversity in ideas and in the people across the organization, as well as to ensure ORNL is recognized as a workplace of choice. These elements are critical for enabling the execution of ORNL?s broader mission to accelerate scientific discoveries and their translation into energy, environment, and security solutions for the nation. We are seeking a Postdoctoral Research Associate who will support the Biogeochemical Dynamics Group within the Biological and Environmental Systems Sciences Directorate (BESSD) at Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL). We seek an applicant with a deep passion for investigating microbial activities in soils, and a penchant for modeling complex processes. Soil microbial necromass is now believed to be selectively preserved in soil organic matter, contributing strongly to long-term carbon storage. Decomposition pathways and the extent of preservation are determined by interactions between compound chemistry, microbial community composition, soil mineral reactivity, and nutrient and moisture availability. In this project, long-term experiments will be used to trace the decomposition and preservation of specific necromass molecules, the elution of carbon dioxide, and activities of the microbial community over time. Lab-scale measurements of microbial community structure, and metabolic networks from sequence and metaproteomics data will be used to discover key microbial functions associated with decomposition of specific necromass biomolecules. The forefront of modeling soil organic matter decomposition involves identification and parameterization of microbial functional traits. The Continuum Microbial Enzyme Decomposition (CoMEND) model was developed to represent decomposition pathways based on observations of gene functional traits. Several sets of companion experiments, with a range of environmental, biological, and mineralogical data, will be available to test, validate, and improve the trait-based modeling approach. This trans-disciplinary project will enable development of trait-based approaches to improve prediction of microbial functions governing soil carbon and nutrient cycling. BESSD is an interdisciplinary research and development organization with more than 60 years of achievement in local, regional, national, and international environmental research. Our vision is to expand scientific knowledge and develop innovative strategies and technologies that will strengthen the nation?s leadership in creating solutions to help sustain the Earth?s natural resources. Our scientists conduct research, develop technology, and perform analyses to understand and assess responses of environmental systems at the environment-human interface and the consequences of alternative energy and environmental strategies.

Message-ID: Postdoctoral position at University of New Hampshire in the physics of sea level and modeling coastal sea-level change. As coastal sea-levels rise, flooding will increasingly impact coastal communities. The NSF funded EPSCOR project, the Community-Driven Coastal Climate Research & Solutions for the Resilience of New England Coastal Populations, seeks to help communities manage the increasing environmental risks caused by a changing climate. As part of this project, the Ocean Process Analysis Laboratory and the Institute for Earth, Ocean and Space at the University of New Hampshire is seeking a postdoctoral fellow to research the linkages between shelf-scale sea-level, surface wave and wind fields and coastal flooding on a human scale. The goal is to downscale the prediction of shelf-scale and climate-scale coastal models to the human scale of harbors and neighborhoods. The term of this project is 2.5 years (1 year term with possibility of renewal). The focus of this project will be the high-resolution numerical modeling that links shelf scale forcing to human scale sea-level predictions, the validation of that modeling, and the use of machine-learning tools to predict sea-level and other environmental stressors from larger scale models. Experience in physical oceanography and numerical modeling are required. Experience with unstructured mesh numerical models and machine learning would be helpful. Expected duties include submission of results for publication in refereed journals, documenting modeling code and products, and collaborating with other researchers in this project at Brown University, the University of Rhode Island, the Gulf of Maine Research Institute and elsewhere to further the goals of this project.

These ecosystems provide valuable storm-surge buffering and climate regulation services, in part, through rapid and efficient burial of mineral and organic particles. Physical and chemical associations between organic matter and minerals can enhance carbon burial but the importance of these interactions and how they are affected by the dynamic redox environment of salt marsh soils are not well understood. The successful candidate will conduct research characterizing soil mineralogy and organic matter composition in salt marshes along the Georgia coast. This broad spatial characterization will be complemented by lab-based experiments testing physical and chemical mechanisms of organic matter protection under varying redox conditions. In addition to advancing wetland soil science theory, this research will assist state and federal partners in identifying properties of dredge material that can enhance carbon burial in beneficial use projects. The student will gain experience in advanced geochemical and organic matter characterization techniques. Chemical transformations of organic matter in the lab experiments will be captured at the scale of compounds, minerals, and microbes, thereby providing fine-scale mechanistic information that is necessary for understanding large-scale spatial patterns. The student will gain insight into coastal management projects by working collaboratively with government partners to co-develop decision support tools that match dredge material with beneficial use projects for the co-benefit of enhanced carbon storage.

As humanity is facing grand challenges such as climate change and resource depletion, this doctoral school is addressing these and other challenges through interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary academic research connecting the COSMOS with planet EARTH, its environment and the ANTHROPOSPHERE. We aim our students to become world-leading experts in either of these three branches while also confidently communicate and contribute across all three branches. We want our school to become a central place in the heart of Europe for training and as a resource of knowledge about our place in space and time. For further information see: https://visess.univie.ac.at. The school is currently announcing two PhD projects in the fields of Cosmos, Earth and Anthroposphere, including the following position: University assistant predoctoral: Microplastics as Anthropocene markers and proxies for sediment connectivity in fluvial systems Supervision: Prof. Dr. Michael Wagreich, Prof. Dr. Daniel Le Heron (both Department of Geology) and Dr. Ronald P?ppl (Department of Geography and Regional Research), in collaboration with Prof. Dr. Andreas Stohl, Dr. Silvia Bucci (both Department of Meteorology and Geophysics) and Dr. Veronika Koukal (Department of Geology) Funding type: fully-funded Expected starting date: at the earliest possible date Duration of employment: 3 years Project outline: Plastic pollution is recognized as a major environmental threat and a new class of particle transported by by various geomorphic agents (water, wind). Microplastic has become a hot emerging topic, accumulating in sedimentary archives, thus providing a widespread marker for the Anthropocene. Detailed studies on microplastics in sediments from source to sinks in fluvial-atmospheric systems are largely missing. Objectives of the project are i) to investigate the amount, distribution and age of microplastics in selected fluvial systems, ii) to relate changes in sediment connectivity (e.g. by land use/management, dams, high-magnitude (hydro-)meteorological events) to changes in microplastics in the record (proxy approach), and iii) to investigate contemporary microplastic loadings in soils and rivers and relate them to key input sources and related process dynamics (i.e. via modelling atmospheric transport, water- and wind-mediated erosion, transport and deposition of sediment/microplastic). The study is based on two neighbouring medium-sized catchment systems in Lower Austria (Thayatal National Park). The upper and middle reaches of both systems are dominated by agricultural land use, soil erosion and related high rates of lateral sediment input, as well as widely engineered river channels, while the lower reaches exhibit near-natural forest cover and river conditions. Methods will include the use of a FT-IR-microscope for microplastics attribution (Bruker-LumosII) as well as of the FGGA-(IP-)funded water, sediment and climate monitoring station located in the Fugnitz River. Expected outcomes are detailed case studies on behavior of microplastic in catchment systems.

Deadline for application is November 10, 2023, with job interviews (online or in Munich) of the short-listed candidates scheduled for Nov 20-22. For further information please contact Prof. Dr. Julia Pongratz (julia.pongratz at lmu.de ). ABOUT THE PROJECT: The likelihood of large-scale Earth system tipping events under ongoing anthropogenic forcing remains uncertain. ClimTip will substantially advance the process understanding of possible Earth system Tipping Elements (TEs). It will provide the methodological framework for characterising and constraining potential TEs from paleoclimate, observational and model data, for identifying unknown tipping potential from observations and models, and for quantifying resilience and changes thereof in climate and ecosystems, including early-warning of forthcoming transitions. Earth system models (ESMs) are the primary tool for projecting the risk of large-scale tipping events and ClimTip will substantially improve their representation of suggested TEs. This will enable the identification of safe operating spaces for a stable Earth system by characterising key Earth system TEs in terms of their critical thresholds and rates, hysteresis and overshoot potential via empirical data and ESMs, taking into account the associated uncertainties. ? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Julia Pongratz LMU Munich, Department of Geography Luisenstr. 37, 80333 Munich, Germany http://www.geographie.uni-muenchen.de/department/personen/pongratz-julia.php julia.pongratz at lmu.de phone: (+49 89) 2180 - 6652 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

The successful candidate will be supported to design a research project within the broad themes of mountain ecohydrology and water resources that excites them and complements ongoing projects. The project will use computational simulations constrained with measurements to build new understanding of how these watersheds function and affect water resources. Areas for potential projects include, but are not limited to, the drivers of water partitioning and its effects on drought occurrence and severity; groundwater-vegetation feedbacks in a shifting climate; and multiobjective calibration of watershed models using machine-learning-based surrogate models and novel measurements. The selected candidate will have the opportunity to collaborate with others at Northeastern University, particularly in the College of Science and the Departments of Marine & Environmental Science and Civil & Environmental Engineering. They may also collaborate with colleagues at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (LBL), including but not limited to in LBL?s Watershed Function Science Focus Area, and with others across Boston?s many world-class Universities. This candidate will further have the opportunity to mentor as well as learn from current and future lab members. The WRElab seeks to better understand how watersheds function as systems with interactions among meteorological forcing, geologic setting, and ecological process, and how these systems affect critical water resources in a changing climate. To do so, we use state-of-the-science computational watershed and ecological simulators that are constrained with novel field and remotely-sensed measurements, including stable isotope analyses and spatial-pattern calibration approaches. Current projects focus on the partitioning of rain and snow to streamflow and evapotranspiration in mountain environments, groundwater-vegetation feedbacks at watershed scales in a changing climate, and watershed responses to disturbances including extreme storms and wildfire. The WRElab emphasizes productive collaboration facilitated by a dedication to a respectful and inclusive work environment. We encourage candidates from a broad variety of backgrounds to apply, particularly those with majors in earth science, ecology, geography, computer science, and civil and environmental engineering and experience in computational modeling and data analysis. Ideal candidates will have research experience, a passion for learning and scientific exploration, and a commitment to equity and inclusion. While an M.S. is preferred, it is not required. A positive attitude and the ability to work both independently and part of a team are required. Candidates from historically and currently marginalized groups are particularly encouraged to apply and to ask the questions necessary to ensure they can feel safe, supported and comfortable in the lab, university, community, and field environments. Candidates can apply to the Lab through either Northeastern?s Department of Marine & Environmental Science or Northeastern?s Department of Civil & Environmental Engineering depending on their background, and can be housed in either department. Funding: This position will be funded on research and teaching assistantships for up to five years. Students will be supported and encouraged to apply for university and national fellowships, where Northeastern has a successful track record. The position includes a competitive stipend, tuition waiver, health insurance benefits, and funding to attend academic conferences annually. Need more information?

The Postdoctoral scholars at JPL benefit from an informal mentoring network, an annual conference showcasing their results, a dedicated seminar series, exposure to diverse career paths, and social connections across the JPL and Caltech community for advice on housing, childcare, and other aspects of living in southern California. The Earth Science Section at JPL seeks an outstanding postdoc researcher. The successful candidate will be a member of JPL?s Water and Ecosystems Group in the Earth Sciences section. The group develops new methods for using remote sensing data to understand the interaction of water and the environment, including contaminant mobilization and transport. This position will be based in at JPL in Pasadena, California. This project will focus on risks of acid mine drainage (AMD) in the western US. AMD results from mining activities, particularly those involving sulfide-rich minerals like pyrite. When exposed to air and water, these minerals generate sulfuric acid that contaminates soil and groundwater. AMD releases highly acidic water into rivers and groundwater, harming aquatic ecosystems by lowering pH levels, rendering it inhospitable for aquatic life. Additionally, AMD often carries toxic heavy metals like lead, cadmium, copper, and zinc, posing risks to both aquatic life and human health through the food chain. In the western United States, where mining is a significant part of the economy, AMD remains a persistent issue, requiring a balance between economic interests and environmental and public health concerns. We are seeking a Postdoctoral Researcher to design and implement an applied sciences project focused on mapping areas with the potential for acid rock drainage, applying data from the Earth Surface Mineral Dust Source Investigation (EMIT). The successful candidate will have expertise in visible to shortwave infrared imaging spectroscopy, geochemical contamination, or acid mine waste remediation. This role will involve collaboration with the United States Geological Survey (USGS) and relevant government agencies to contribute to environmental decision-making in. Key Responsibilities: Data Analysis and Mapping: * Use EMIT level 2b mineralogy products to assess the feasibility of spaceborne visible to shortwave infrared imaging spectroscopy data for identifying acid rock drainage potential across the western US. * Generate detailed maps and reports highlighting areas at risk of acid rock drainage based on spectral analysis.

Collaboration with USGS: * Work closely with USGS partners to explore practical applications for mineral leachability maps in prioritizing acid mine waste remediation efforts. Establish Working Group: * Establish and lead a working group that includes representatives from agencies such as the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), Bureau of Land Management (BLM), and United States Forest Service (USFS) to ensure effective data utilization and decision-making. Required Qualifications: * Ph.D. in a relevant field, such as geosciences, remote sensing, or environmental science. * Proven ability to initiate and lead projects independently. * Excellent communication and teamwork skills for working with interdisciplinary teams and government agencies. Preferred Qualifications (but not required): * Expertise in visible to shortwave infrared imaging spectroscopy, geochemical contamination, or acid mine waste remediation. * Strong analytical skills and experience with geospatial data analysis tools and software. * Fieldwork experience and proficiency in coordinating laboratory analysis. * Remote sensing experience. * Proficiency in Python programming. * Experience in working groups, user needs assessment, or applied sciences.
