UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA |
| Application Deadline | July 31, 2008 |
| DESCRIPTION: | |
The Water Resources Engineering Program, located at the Southwest Florida Research and Education Center (SWFREC) and the Agricultural and Biological Engineering (ABE) Department of University of Florida (UF) is seeking a full-time post-doctoral research associate in watershed hydrology to conduct research in the area of watershed-scale effects of water management alternatives (WMA) (e.g. wetland and pasture water retention) on surface and ground water dynamics and quality. Experience in applications of numerical methods in hydrology, hydrologic model development and use, wetland hydrology, analyses of nutrient transport to surface and ground water, and model uncertainty analyses is desired. The position is funded in a 3-year project by state and federal agencies to evaluate the effectiveness of water retention on ranchland in reducing water and P discharges to the Lake Okeechobee basin. The person will work as a member of a multi-disciplinary research team on an ecosystem services project in the Lake Okeechobee basin. The project team comprise of World Wildlife Fund (WWF), UF, Archbold Biological Station, USDA, and three state agencies. The position will be available for one year and is likely to be renewed up to 3 years depending on the performance and funding. |
|
BASIC RESPONSIBILITIES AND QUALIFICATIONS: Responsibilities include but are not limited to collection and analyses of hydrologic and water quality, soil, land use, and other data to quantify the effectiveness of the WMAs, modification and use of hydrologic/water quality models for analyzing watershed-scale effects of WMAs, model uncertainty analyses, and writing refereed journal articles, reports, and other publications. A Ph.D. in agricultural/civil/environmental engineering or closely related science discipline is required. |
