Davis Endowed Postdoctoral Fellow

The Davis Endowed Postdoctoral Fellow in Natural Resource Innovation within the Louise Dilworth Davis College of Science and Engineering (DCSE) will work with the Harvey Research Group to advance field-based research at the intersection of critical minerals, water reuse, produced-water-impacted soils, serpentine/ultramafic soil systems, biochar-enabled technologies, native plant systems, and marginal-land restoration.

This position complements a Postdoctoral Research Associate focused on laboratory and computational studies of reactive interfaces. Together, the two positions will help to advance a field-to-lab-to-computation research platform that connects molecular-scale geochemical processes with field-scale natural-resource challenges of economic, ecological, and national strategic relevance.

The project specifically explores how field-scale soil, water, plant, and amendment interactions can be used to understand and improve marginal landscapes. The Fellow will help strengthen a field platform spanning produced-water impacted soils and naturally metal-rich serpentine soils, allowing TCU to study restoration, resource recovery, and plant-soil adaptation across marginal landscapes.

This role is an initial one-year appointment, with renewal contingent upon satisfactory performance and the availability of funding. (Use the "Apply for this Job" box below).-states
