Employer: The University of Memphis
Location: Memphis, Tennessee
Salary: Up to $55,000 per year
Posted: Feb 26, 2020
Closes: Mar 27, 2020
Ref: FAE1100 and FAE1095
Discipline: Hydrology
Career Level: Postdoctoral
Education Level: PhD
Desired Certifications: Professional Hydrologist
Job Type: Full-time
Relocation Cost: No Relocation
Sector Type: Academia
Position 1:
https://workforum.memphis.edu/postings/24837
The position involves addressing groundwater sustainability in western Tennessee, working within the rural landscape to assess groundwater use and availability, assessing recharge mechanisms to the region’s aquifers, determining threats to aquifer recharge and mechanisms to encourage recharge, investigating the exchange between groundwater and surface water, assisting in the development of educational material for distribution among multi-generational audiences, and seeking external funding opportunities to advance CAESER’s research agenda. The goals are to determine aquifer recharge mechanisms, ascertain the impact of land-use change on groundwater sustainability, derive best practices to ensure the longevity of groundwater quantity and high-quality in the region, and inform the public and elected officials on the topic of groundwater sustainability and to encourage informed decision making. The research will be conducted through CAESER, primarily under the direction of Dr. Brian Waldron. The primary location for the post-doctoral researcher will be in Memphis, Tennessee, at the University of Memphis main campus with much time also spent at the University of Memphis-Lambuth campus in Jackson, Tennessee. This is a one-year appointment with possibility of renewal subject to satisfactory performance and continued funding.
Position 2:
https://workforum.memphis.edu/postings/24722
The position encompasses a broad range of activity that includes assisting graduate students in conducting their water-related field research in groundwater and surface water, developing innovative methodologies to collect data beyond traditional means, advancing CAESER’s research agenda by pursuing external funding opportunities, building regional and international collaborations among other science research centers, and developing educational material for outreach purposes to multi-generational audiences including elected officials.
