Science Directorate (BESSD) at Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL). We are interested in qualified candidates who can apply their creativity and skills in aquatic biogeochemistry and/or ecology to advance a predictive understanding of how and why watershed

patterns to variable inputs associated with dynamic connectivity of the stream network, and (a)synchrony in emergent metabolic regimes along stream networks. This work will be caried out in close collaboration with related research to understand how network
connectivity and solute export respond to variable saturation in non-perennial headwaters, and predictively model watershed hydro-biogeochemical function.</span><span style="color:#222222"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
