Postdoc Position Summary-
A postdoctoral research associate position is available in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at Michigan State University (MSU). Dr. Yadu Pokhrel will serve as the primary advisor. This is a one-year position renewed annually with an extension contingent on funding and performance.

Deadline for application: 10 July 2024, 11:59 PM EST
Apply at:  https://careers.msu.edu/en-us/job/520021/research-associatefixed-term

The research associate will have the following responsibilities:

The new hire will work on a project that requires improving and executing multi-scale hydrological and hydrodynamic models (e.g., The Community Land Model version 5, CLM5, and CaMa-Flood) to assess the impacts of human activities (e.g., irrigation, groundwater pumping, and reservoir operation) on various water cycle processes, including nutrient transport. The new hire will be a key member of the project and collaborate with an interdisciplinary team within MSU and globally. The research associate will have opportunities to closely interact with a wide range of stakeholders and collaborators toward developing sustainable solutions for dam development and operation, irrigation, and groundwater use.

The research associate will particularly coordinate research activities and handle large datasets from multi-scale climate and hydrological modeling and socio-economic survey and analysis. The tasks will include high-resolution hydrological modeling using the Community Land Model version 5 (CLM5) at multiple scales. There will be close coordination with the social science team to utilize socio-economic data in driving the model and using outcomes to understand social dimensions of irrigation and groundwater use and their role in the Earth system. 

Dr. Pokhrel will work closely with the research associate in a collaborative lab environment to achieve project goals while providing ample opportunities and resources for the research associate to grow professionally and achieve career goals. The appointment will be initially for one year with the possibility of renewal for two additional years based on satisfactory performance and continuation of funding
