Apologies for cross-postings, the USGS is seeking a motivated postdoctoral researcher for a two-year Mendenhall position.
The goal of this research opportunity is to investigate the influence of vegetation and geomorphic type on marsh edge dynamics and marsh resilience with numerical modeling. The successful candidate will have a strong background in estuarine processes and modeling. Applicants have the opportunity to define and focus on a specific question within the broad topic that align with their background and interests.
Model application can build on existing domains (San Francisco Bay, Plum Island Estuary, Barnegat Bay, Chincoteague Bay), new realistic domains, or idealized contexts. Depending on the applicant’s expertise, further work on the feedbacks between vegetation and geomorphology or biogeochemistry could be explored with the modeling system. Interested applicants are strongly encouraged to contact the Research Advisors early in the application process to discuss project ideas.
