Climate change and hydrology postdoc
Duke University's
Nicholas School of the Environment is looking for a
highly motivated postdoctoral researcher in the
field of hydrologic process interactions, snow
distribution and melt processes, optimization and
modeling. The overall purpose of this position is
to provide scientific information on the
interaction between climate, vegetation, topography
and hydro-geology on spatio-temporal variability of
surface and subsurface hydrologic processes.
A Ph.D. in hydrology,
climatology, geosciences, applied mathematics,
computer
science or related fields is required. Required qualifications include
extensive knowledge of programming in C or C++, and expertise in
optimization methods or modeling in one or more of these areas:
hydrology, vegetation dynamics, snow physics and contaminant/sediment
transport. Salaries and benefits are competitive.
Applicants are encouraged to submit an application package to Dr. Mukesh Kumar
(mukesh.kumar@duke.edu), that includes a cover letter, curriculum
vitae, PhD thesis abstract, and contact information of three
