[交流] Postdoc------a groundwater flow and transport modeler, University of California 已有1人参与

Groundwater Flow and Contaminant Transport Modeling
Department of Land, Air and Water Resources
University of California, Davis
A position is available for a postdoctoral researcher interested in pursuing research in groundwater
contaminant hydrology within agricultural landscapes. We are seeking a modeler with a strong
background in modeling reactive groundwater flow and transport processes at the field and regional
scale and an interest in upscaling of transport processes. Knowledge of unsaturated flow and
transport is helpful but not required. The successful candidate will be part of a research team that
links field and laboratory research with various numerical modeling tools within an integrated
hydrologic framework at the groundwater-agriculture interface. The project work offers the
possibility to work on application of upscaling contaminant transport issues related to nitrate, salt,
and pesticide transport, but also to the transport of emerging contaminants. Deliverables will support
ongoing implementation of groundwater management and protection efforts in irrigated regions.

Qualifications: The candidate must have strong skills in computational modeling of environmental
systems (preferably groundwater or variably saturated flow and transport systems), and must have
experience in programming with Matlab, Octave, or similar and with MODFLOW and MT3D or
other groundwater zone flow and transport modeling codes. Preferably, the candidate is also familiar
with GIS (ArcGIS) and data management software (e.g., in MS Excel, MS Access). Interest in
geochemistry and water quality is a definite plus. We are looking for someone that enjoys the
responsibility, independence, and leadership needed in working with a small research team. The
successful candidate will be part of a broader effort to understand the interaction between
California’s agricultural and broader urban landscape and groundwater, and will actively engage in
the group’s data collection, data processing, and model application efforts to ensure integration of
various modeling aspects. The successful candidate will be responsible for meeting project
deliverables and participates in public outreach events. Excellent writing and presentation skills are
expected.
Review of applications will begin December 1, 2015. Recruitment will remain open until filled.
Interested applicants are required to submit 1) a cover letter, 2) resume or curriculum vitae, and 3) a
list of three references with contact information including mailing address, phone number, and email
address. Salary is based on the University of California Academic Salary Scale, in accordance with
current Postdoctoral Scholar Salary scale. A full-benefits package consisting of medical/dental and
vision plans will also be offered.

Interested applicants should send a resume and names and addresses of at least two references to:
Dr. Thomas Harter, Department of Land, Air, and Water Resources; University of California, Davis,
CA 95616-8628, e-mail: thharter@ucdavis.edu (subject line: Postdoc Application). Interviews at the
upcoming AGU meeting (December 2015) in San Francisco may be available upon arrangement. For
