Job Description
Position will enhance capabilities at University of Texas at Dallas and link to a successful interdisciplinary research Team. These individuals would work with a vibrant team of faculty postdocs and graduate students to conduct integrated hydrologic modeling efforts investigating climate land use and water resources at large basin scales. This team seeks to develop and improve models to predict the effects of changes in land use and climate on hydrology and to apply models to better understand how to improve sustainability of land use practices and adapt to future changes. Our highly interdisciplinary research is conducted in collaboration with researchers at multiple universities nationwide. Possible projects include: Understanding the hydrologic footprint of irrigated agricultural practices across the US using model / data synthesis to understand paths toward sustainability. Fusing integrated hydrologic models with remote sensing estimates of water storage to develop nowcast and reanalysis of groundwater levels and streamflow across the Great Lakes Region. Quantifying the combined effects of changes in land use and climate on hydrology across a region experiencing rapid urbanization. Developing hydrology energy agriculture and ecosystem models to better understand the footprint of solar arrays which are being rapidly installed in agricultural lands.
Essential Duties And Responsibilities
We are seeking postdoctoral scientists to conduct integrated surface and groundwater modeling at regional scales at the University of Texas at Dallas. Through this hire Dr. David Hyndman seeks to create a core of scientific and modeling expertise leading and enhancing the work of a vibrant team of graduate and undergraduate students. We have several collaborative research projects with researchers at multiple universities; projects include: Applicants must have expertise in programming (such as Python MATLAB R or FORTRAN and a strong publication record. Prior hydrologic modeling experience is also required. Familiarity with groundwater modeling data science and spatial data analysis are desired. The initial position isfor one year (renewable based on performance). We are hiring at the Research Scientist level however exceptional candidates with a strong record of successful grants may be hired as a Research Assistant Professor (see separate posting at jobs.utdallas). These positions require writing peerreviewed publications and research proposals to extend their position and help grow this interdisciplinary research team.
