Job Summary:
The successful candidate will support research focused on watershed hydrology surface water systems flooding and water quality through the development and application of advanced hydrologic and hydraulic models. Responsibilities include developing implementing calibrating verifying and validating numerical models; simulating watershed processes; evaluating the effects of land use change climate variability and extreme weather events on water resources; and supporting the development of computational tools and decision-support systems for flood forecasting watershed planning and water resources management.Job Description:
Essential Duties/Responsibilities:
- Develop implement and apply surface water watershed and flood models for hydrologic hydraulic and water quality analyses.
- Verify and validate hydrologic and hydraulic models using field observations monitoring data and historical flood events.
- Simulate watershed processes including rainfall-runoff transformation streamflow routing flood inundation sediment transport and pollutant fate and transport.
- Evaluate the impacts of land use change climate variability and extreme weather events on flooding watershed hydrology water quantity and water quality.
- Support the development of computational tools and decision-support systems for flood forecasting watershed planning and water resources management.
Job Responsibilities:
- Experience in numerical modeling of watershed hydrology surface water systems flood processes and/or water quality.
- Experience in model calibration verification and validation using field laboratory and/or observational datasets.
- Experience in writing peer-reviewed scientific publications.
