1. Post-Doctoral Researcher: Watershed Modeling
Description: Drs. Jay F. Martin and Margaret M. Kalcic have 2 years of support for a Post-doctoral Scientist to contribute to ongoing biophysical modeling projects focused on Lake Erie and its watershed.
This position will lead a major modeling effort in support of multiple projects investigating linkages among climate change, ecology, and human behavior (e.g., farmers, decision-makers) in the largely agricultural watersheds that are the primary source of sediments and nutrients to western Lake Erie. These projects include one funded by NSF INFEWs that examines potential effects of deglobalization on the sustainability of Great Lakes’ food-energy-water systems (FEWS), and another funded by NOAA using climate forecasts to reduce nutrient runoff and algal blooms. The Post-doc’s primary responsibilities include: 1) predicting how climate and land management interact to affect water quality and ecosystem attributes (flow, nutrients, harmful algal blooms) using an existing watershed model set up using the Soil and Water Assessment Tool (SWAT); and 2) communicating these results to the scientific community and stakeholders via journal publications, presentations, and reports. Interdisciplinary results are desired and will be achieved using watershed models to analyze impacts of public policy, farmer behavior, and land management change.

2.Research Position in Modeling and Understanding the Observed Arctic Sea Ice Decline in Recent Decade
The Atmospheric and Oceanic Sciences Program at Princeton University in cooperation with NOAA's Geophysical Fluid Dynamics Laboratory (GFDL) seeks a postdoctoral or more senior scientist for research related to modeling and understanding of the rapid decline of Arctic sea ice observed over the satellite era. The position will be focused on improved understanding of the mechanisms causing the observed ice decline using coupled climate models and observations. The research will explore the response of Arctic sea ice to anthropogenic forcings, natural forcings, and natural decadal/multidecadal variability. Both recent graduates and more senior candidates will be considered for this position.
The selected candidate will have a Ph.D. in a related field and one or more of the following attributes: (a) a strong background in climate/ocean/sea ice dynamics (b) experience using and analyzing coupled climate models and (c) strong diagnostic skills in analyzing simulated and observed data sets. Appointments are initially for one year with renewal for an additional year based on satisfactory performance and continued funding.
