Postdoctoral Fellow, River Coastal Science and Engineering – Ecohydrological Modeling of Saline Environments
The Department of River‑Coastal Science and Engineering at Tulane University invites applications for a Postdoctoral Research Scientist position in Ecohydrological Modeling of Saline Environments
. The anticipated start date is between May 1 and September 30, 2022. Appointments are for one year, with possible renewal based on performance and funding.
The position will focus on modeling climate‑plant‑water interactions in salt‑affected ecosystems, particularly coastal wetlands and their vulnerability to sea‑level rise and salinization. Responsibilities include developing simplified models of plant hydraulics under osmotic stress, upscaling to plot‑to‑ecosystem scales for hydrologic and climate models, and working with stochastic modeling and eddy covariance data. Prior experience with plant hydraulic trait parametrization, stochastic modeling, and eddy covariance methods and data is strongly preferred.
Collaborations with the Departments of Earth and Environmental Sciences, Ecology and Evolutionary Biology, and the ByWater Institute are expected. The department values diversity, equity, and inclusion; candidates with shared interests are encouraged to apply.
Location:
New Orleans, LA. Salary range: $74,000–$83,641 (annual).
