[ES_JOBS_NET] Postdoctoral Researcher Position: Understanding the Interface between Roots, Regolith, Rocks, and Climate-the R3-C Frontier - UC Riverside

[Hoori Ajami]

*Postdoctoral Researcher Position: Understanding the Interface between 
Roots, Regolith, Rocks, and Climate-the R3-C Frontier*

A postdoctoral researcher position is available in the Department of 
Environmental Sciences at the University of California, Riverside. This 
position is split between two laboratories: the Catchment Hydrology and 
Spatial Analysis Lab (https://www.hooriajami.ucr.edu/ 
<https://www.hooriajami.ucr.edu/>) and the Pedology Lab at Texas Tech 
University (https://www.ttupedology.com/ <https://www.ttupedology.com/>).

We are looking for a highly-motivated, independent researcher to join a 
collaborative, NSF-funded project to understand how critical zone 
thickness and root water uptake dynamics interact to regulate 
evapotranspiration dynamics under changing water supply and demand 
conditions.

The successful candidate will lead the hydrologic modeling experiments 
using a physically-based numerical model (e.g., ParFlow.CLM and EcoSLIM, 
HYDRUS) at multiple sites in the project.

The postdoctoral researcher will be expected to participate in regular 
and annual project meetings as well as lead papers stemming from this 
work. This position will provide the successful candidate with 
professional development opportunities within the context of a highly 
collaborative and interdisciplinary team.

*Qualifications: *

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

*Skills: *The ideal candidate will have:

  * Strong programming skills in a Unix/Linux environment
  * Experience using ParFlow.CLM or other integrated modeling platforms
  * Experience with inverse modeling and high performance computing
  * Demonstrated record of high-quality publications
  * Demonstrated success working and communicating in a team environment
  * Excellent communication and presentation skills

*Contact: *Interested applicants should fill in the application form 
<https://forms.gle/fqvRc8CyxvrwNcvE6>.**Informal inquiries can be sent 
to Dr. Hoori Ajami at hooria at ucr.edu and Dr. Daniel Hirmas at 
dhirmas at ttu.edu with R3-C POSTDOC as the subject line.
