Ph.D. Research Assistantship in Forest
Ecohydrology
Application Due Date: October 22, 2023
Position Description
Dr. Salli Dymond is
seeking a Ph.D. graduate research assistant (GRA) to join her research group at
Northern Arizona University (NAU) beginning January 2024. The GRA will work on
a collaborative research project with Dr.
Teki Sankey (NAU), Dr. Jackson Leonard (USFS) and Dr. Joel Biederman (ARS) investigating the ecohydrological impacts of thinning
southwestern forests. Specifically, this field-intensive project will comprehensively
assess the long-term ecohydrological impacts of thinning treatments across the
Upper Verde watershed in northern Arizona. Results from this study will inform
land management and restoration efforts in the region, particularly in
watersheds that are facing a multitude of disturbance threats. GRA duties include the installation,
collection, analysis, and synthesis of quantitative hydrological, geochemical,
and ecological data for peer-reviewed publications.
Application
Process
Interested individuals
must submit a CV, one-page cover letter, and contact information for 2-3
professional references to Dr. Dymond via email (salli....@nau.edu) by October 22, 2023. The selected candidate must then apply
and be accepted to the NAU School of Forestry graduate program for January 2024.
Arizona WUI Post-Wildfire Flood and Debris Flow Modeling Postdoc
Application Due Date: October 3, 2023
Position Highlights: We seek a postdoctoral researcher to work as part of a collaborative, interdisciplinary team to better understand and quantify the impacts of post-wildfire floods and debris flows to Arizona’s wildland urban interface (WUI). The postdoctoral researcher will work with novel fuels data to produce maps and predict magnitudes of potential flooding and debris flow risks following fire under the different fire and fuels reduction scenarios. The research is expected to culminate in fact-sheets for managers and policy-makers, conference presentations, and peer reviewed publications. This is a two-year funded position, although re-appointment is contingent upon performance. The researcher will be primarily supervised by Dr. Salli Dymond (Northern Arizona University), but will work closely with Dr. Luke McGuire (University of Arizona) and Dr. Ann Youberg (Arizona Geological Survey), and with an interdisciplinary team of researchers from the Arizona WUI Fire Fuel Mitigation Team led by Dr. Andrew Sanchez Meador (Ecological Research Institute; NAU).
Applications close on October 3, 2023. To apply, visit NAU Careers and reference Job ID
607418. The anticipated start date is January 1, 2024, but is open to negotiation.
