The Earth System Observations Group (EES-14) in the Earth and Environmental Sciences (EES) Division at Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL) is seeking applications from diverse candidates with expertise in surface and groundwater hydrology, geochemistry, ecohydrology, or hydrodynamics (preferably related to coastal systems). Research experience on salinity in coastal systems, nutrient and water quality, sediment transport, and hydrological feedback with vegetation are desirable. This position will focus on using numerical models to better understand coastal surface and subsurface hydrologic processes and nutrient transport under climate change. The successful candidate will work with a multi-disciplinary team of hydrologists, computational geoscientists, geomorphologists, ecologists, and climate modelers focused on developing multi-physics models for high-resolution simulations using high-performance computational architectures. The successful candidate will have the opportunity to work with the current state-of-the-art DOE-sponsored modeling codes such as the Advance Terrestrial Simulator (ATS) and evaluate model predictions with observations from the field or remote sensing.
Minimum Job Requirements:
Education: A Ph.D. in hydrology, ecology, environmental science, geosciences, civil engineering, water resources engineering, climate modeling, or a closely related field. The candidate must have completed all Ph.D. requirements by the commencement of the appointment or received a Ph.D. within the last five years.
Desired Qualifications:
Note to Applicants:
For full consideration, please submit a cover letter describing your background and relevant experience, a CV, and (C) contact information for three professional references.
Review of applications will begin on December 5th, 2022, and until the position is filled.
For additional information, please contact Yu Zhang (yuz...@lanl.gov).
