The Climate System Research Center (CSRC) at the University of Massachusetts, Amherst invites applications for a postdoctoral research associate position in Arctic hydroclimatology. This full-time, two-year position, with potential for extension contingent on performance and availability of funding, will be located in Amherst, Massachusetts. The anticipated start date for this position is August 2018.
The successful candidate will develop, refine, and implement numerical models characterizing the land branch of the Arctic hydrological cycle. The overarching goal of the research is to advance understanding of linked hydrological and biogeochemical processes, including the timing and magnitude of terrestrial freshwater export. This research is part of a larger project supported by the National Science Foundation focused on changes occurring within lagoon complexes at the land-ocean interface in northern coastal Alaska.
Requirements include:
- PhD in atmospheric science, biogeochemistry, ecology, hydrology, or related field;
- Background in biogeochemistry or hydrology in the context of modeling and analysis;
- Experience in development and application of hydrological/biogeochemical and/or land-surface models;
- Demonstrated proficiency in scientific programming languages such as Fortran and C/C++;
- Expertise in shell scripting and/or data languages used to analyze and interpret large spatial data sets (Matlab, R, Python);
- Ability to work well in a collaborative environment and interact closely with other scientists and students working on related projects; and
- Ability to travel and work some evenings and weekends.
