Recruiting a Postdoc in Groundwater Modeling for Karst Aquifers - Florida St Univ

[David Kirschtel]

Dear Colleagues,

I am recruiting a postdoc to join my research group in the Department of Earth, Ocean, and Atmospheric Science at the Florida State University (FSU). The postdoc position is open, and will be initially supported for 12 months, with the possibility of extension depending on the performance. Benefits (like health insurance) will be provided in addition to a competitive salary.

PROJECT

The post-doc will work on a project that maps karst conduit systems of Wakulla Springs in the Tallahassee region using an autonomous underwater vehicle. The post-doc will use the mapping data to develop numerical models (using conventional and machine learning approaches) to simulate karst spring discharge and matrix-conduit water exchange. The selected candidate will present the findings in peer-reviewed articles and conferences. It is also expected that the postdoc will contribute to student mentoring and assist in writing research grants.

REQUIRED/DESIRED QUALIFICATIONS AND SKILLS

• A doctoral degree in geology, hydrology, civil engineering or any closely related field
• Solid understanding of physical and chemical processes related to karst hydrology, geology, and hydrogeology
• Strong computer programming as well as analytical and quantitative skills
• Groundwater modeling, fluid dynamics, and geospatial analyses
• Independency, communication, presentation (oral and written), fast learning and the ability to work in an interdisciplinary team.

 

ABOUT US

Located in the capital of Florida, Tallahassee, FSU is classified by Carnegie as an R1 rank (Doctoral Universities — Highest Research Activity). The Department of Earth, Ocean, and Atmospheric Science promotes interdisciplinary research. Tallahassee is located within a short drive to multiple springs and beaches. Wakulla Springs is about 40-minutes driving from the FSU campus.

IF INTERESTED…

Highly motivated applicants should contact Dr. Ming Ye (m...@fsu.edu) with a CV, a list of three references and a brief statement describing how their interests can contribute to the project.
