Postdoctoral Research Associate in Global Environmental Change and/or Urban Ecohydrology:
Posted: 4/21/2020 (Employment)
A new postdoctoral associate position is available at Washington State University in Vancouver, WA, in Urban Ecohydrology, Urban/Global Environmental Change, or a related field such as Urban Environmental Biophysics/Ecophysiology, Urban Environmental Modeling, or Remote Sensing Data Analytics. (This is in addition to the first such position, previously advertised in 2019.)
Specific research foci will be led by the postdoctoral researcher, in consultation with the supervisor Dr. Kevan Moffett. Possible research themes include, but are not limited to: urban water-heat relations, biophysical modeling and scaling of urban heat and water balances, urban forest ecohydrology, vulnerability and adaptation of dense populated areas to extreme hydroclimate events across diverse social norms and climate zones, remote sensing data-mining, or the basic natural science needed to support environmental justice.
The researcher will also be invited as a full participant in a growing multi-institutional Collaborative on urban environmental research based out of the Portland/Vancouver area, thereby gaining network contacts, mentors, collaborators, and opening career paths at other types of universities, agencies, offices, and non-profits.
Flexible start date, with possibility of part-time telecommute work until full-time relocation is possible. Relocation to the Portland OR/Vancouver WA area hoped for by end of 2020, if feasible. Additional details at: https://labs.wsu.edu/ecohydrology/opportunities/
Please apply as soon as possible by emailing kevan.moffett@wsu.edu: (1) a letter describing your interests and experiences relevant to the position (maximum 3 pages single-spaced), (2) current CV, (3) contact information for three professional references. Priority application deadline May 11, 2020, but applications will be accepted until position is filled.
