About the role

The Department of Civil, Environmental, and Ocean Engineering at Stevens Institute of Technology invites applications for a Postdoctoral Researcher to join the iSMART (Intelligent Systems for Monitoring and Assessment of Riverine and Terrestrial Environments) Lab. This position offers an exciting opportunity to contribute to cutting-edge research in cold regions hydrology, with an emphasis on river ice processes and hydrodynamic modeling in northern U.S. watersheds.

Responsibilities

• Advance research in the field of cold regions hydrology with a focus on US northern watersheds.
• Advance the use of optical and radar remote sensing data to enhance monitoring and analysis of river ice conditions.
• Implement and assess forecasting models for water temperature in river systems.
• Calibrate and validate hydraulic models to simulate ice jam processes and their influence on ice-induced flooding.
• Aid in writing research proposals and publishing findings in collaboration with other iSMART lab members.
• Contribute to the supervision and mentorship of Master's and PhD students within the iSMART lab.
