The Water Systems Analysis Group in the Institute for the Study of
Earth, Oceans, and Space at the University of New Hampshire seeks a
postdoctoral associate to collaborate on research to understand the
controls of biogeochemical fluxes through river networks at continental
U.S. to global scales.

The position involves the development and integration of aquatic
biogeochemical models, remote sensing information, and existing field
observations. Model development will focus on coupling the
biogeochemical cycles of carbon, nitrogen, phosphorus, and sediments in
a spatially distributed modeling framework. Research will explore the
mechanisms of changing biogeochemical fluxes in response to various
anthropogenic changes, including climate change, land use change,
population change, and hydrologic engineering. Model predictions will be
integrated with remote sensing information from both freshwater and
coastal ocean satellite products. This position is supported by
three-year research grants from NASA.

Applicants must have a recent PhD in Earth system science, hydrology,
biogeochemistry, or related field, with significant experience in
computer modeling and remote sensing. Previous experience in spatially
explicit modeling is preferred. Candidates should be strong in GIS,
remote sensing, database management, and computer programming languages,
with an interest in exploring the biogeochemical properties of river
networks.

To apply, please send a curriculum vitae, statement of research
interests, and the names and contact information of three references to:

The position will remain open until a suitable candidate is identified.
