[ES_JOBS_NET] Post Doctoral Scholar: Stormwater Management Adaptations to Climate Change at University of Vermont

[Anne Jefferson]

We seek a postdoctoral researcher with interest in stormwater, climate
change, and how communities are adapting their stormwater management
strategies (e.g., green stormwater infrastructure, design standards) to
changing precipitation and temperature patterns. The postdoctoral
researcher will be a key contributor to a new USGS-funded research project
working with communities in the northeastern United States to model the
effects of adopted and potential adaptation strategies on the flow and
quality in urban streams, under present and future climates. The
postdoctoral researcher will be the lead SWMM modeler on the project.



Qualified candidates could come from multiple disciplines of study, but
candidates should be able to demonstrate comfort working in
interdisciplinary, collaborative research teams.

The ideal candidate will have a PhD that has given them experience with
hydrologic modeling in SWMM, along with some background in working with
climate model outputs and/or water quality data. The ideal candidate will
also have some exposure to and interest in social science approaches and
community engaged research. If you meet some, but not all, of these ideals,
we encourage you to apply, highlighting your strengths and areas where you
are interested in growing as a researcher.



The postdoc will be supervised by Dr. Anne Jefferson, who leads the Watershed
Lab <https://all-geo.org/jefferson/> in the Rubenstein School of
Environment and Natural Resources at the University of Vermont (UVM). UVM
is a top research university that prioritizes transdisciplinary research
and collaboration as a strategy for continued strengthening of scientific
inquiry and education. Burlington perennially appears on national rankings
that laud its livability, access to nature and recreation, thriving food
and music scene, and a rising identity as a technology and innovation hub.



The anticipated start date is March-April 2025, but there is flexibility
for the ideal candidate. A remote position may be possible, but occasional
travel is required.



*To apply:* please send a CV, cover letter outlining research interests and
expertise, and contact information for two references to
anne.jefferson at uvm.edu. Review of applications will begin February 10 and
continue until the position is filled.
