Job Description
New Mexico Tech’s Dept. of Earth and Environmental Science (www.ees.nmt.edu) seeks applications for a post-doctoral fellow in mountain hydrology with an emphasis on the role of deep groundwater. The appointment will support a project investigating hydrologic impacts of climate change on snow-dominated mountain watersheds in northern New Mexico and southern Colorado. The project integrates new physical, chemical and isotopic measurements as well as existing spatial/temporal data sets, remote sensing imagery, and downscaled regional climate-modeling products with new 4D coupled surface-ground water models at the 1000 km2 scale. Research goals include identifying flow paths and determining residence times, with an ultimate goal of quantifying hydrologic response in downstream irrigated mountain valleys.
Applicants should have a demonstrated ability to independently conduct field investigations, utilize large data sets, and develop hydrologic simulation studies. Ability to generate new research questions and develop an approach to their answers is desired. The appointment is for one year with an option for a second year. Working collaboratively with the project PI, students, and staff, the successful candidate will lead research activities within the project that generate the submission of two or more peer-reviewed publications each year. Interested applicants should email a CV, transcripts, one relevant publication, a one-page statement of past and present research goals, and the names and addresses of three references to Professor John L. Wilson (jwilson@nmt.edu) by September 30, 2011.
