Water Institute Job Opportunities
Water Institute Fellow at the University of Florida
The University of Florida seeks a Water Institute Fellow to begin a two-year post-doctoral program. The successful candidate will join an interdisciplinary group of faculty and students from the University of Florida and the Colorado School of Mines who seek to understand and predict the temporal and longitudinal dynamics of surface-groundwater mixing, and the transport and transformation of ecologically relevant solutes, in karst river basins. The Fellow will be responsible for developing and testing coupled surface-subsurface flow and transport models for the Santa Fe River basin in Florida; using these models to test hypotheses and gain insights into the behavior of the system; and developing data assimilation algorithms to ingest in-situ and remote sensing data into the model to improve its predictions.
A recent Ph.D. Civil or Environmental Engineering, fluid mechanics or related field is required. Potential candidates should demonstrate:

- a strong quantitative understanding of flow and mass transport processes in surface and subsurface hydrologic systems;
- experience in modeling flow and mass transport behavior in subsurface and surface hydrologic systems;
- a strong proficiency in modeling analyses including large-scale parallel computing, scientific data visualization and analysis;
- experience with programming languages and scripting tools such as FORTRAN, C, C++, python and tcl/tk;
- experience in using hydrologic models to gain insights, answer hypotheses, and interpret observations and behavior in subsurface and surface hydrologic systems;
- demonstrated ability to publish research results in peer-reviewed literature.
