Postdoctoral Researcher

Responsibilities Design, install, and maintain a field well-level monitoring network, including pressure transducers, data loggers, and manual water-level and specific conductance measurementsDevelop, calibrate, and apply numerical groundwater flow models (e.g., MODFLOW 6) to evaluate aquifer conditions and water resourcesDevelop variable-density models (e.g., SEAWAT, SUTRA, or MODFLOW 6) to assess saltwater intrusion in coastal aquifers and evaluate management scenariosConduct solute fate and transport modeling to evaluate the movement of salinity and contaminants in groundwaterManage, quality-check, and analyze monitoring data using statistical and data science methods (time series analysis, trend detection, spatial analysis) in R or PythonPrepare technical reports, peer-reviewed manuscripts, presentations, and summaries for agencies and stakeholdersContribute to grant proposals and help train students in field and modeling methods
