Post-Doc: Future of Aquatic Flows - CU, Boulder

[David K]

Professors Holly Barnard and Mike Gooseff at the University of Colorado-Boulder, Institute of Arctic and Alpine Research and USGS North Central Climate Adaptation Science Center (NC CASC), seek a post-doctoral scholar as part of the National and Regional Climate Adaptation Postdoctoral (CAP) Fellows Program focused on the “Future of Aquatic Flows.” Possible areas of research include:

1. How do hydrologic flowpaths and consequent water quality vary with land-use and disturbance regimes?
2. How will shifts in the timing and magnitude of precipitation inputs alter low flow hydrologic processes and stream permanence?
3. Can forest management techniques, such as forest thinning, be used to manipulate key landscape positions to mitigate the sensitivity of forests and streamflow to droughts?

In addition, the postdoctoral researcher will collaborate with other CAP scholars from across the country on national-scale research and synthesis on how climate change will impact aquatic flows and how this information can be integrated into aquatic ecosystem management. Natural resource stakeholder input is a fundamental component of this research, and the postdoctoral researcher will be mentored by a team that consists of federal stakeholders from three different agencies (USGS, USFS, NPS).  We strongly encourage individuals from historically marginalized groups in Earth and environmental sciences to apply. The preferred start date is January 2, 2023, but can be sooner. There are not funds to support international visa fees at this time.
