1.Postdoc Position in Hydrology Available at NASA/JPL
Department Description:
NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL), California Institute of Technology (Caltech) seeks a recent Ph.D. graduate with a unique background in hydrology, remote sensing, computer programming, Geographic Information Systems (GIS), and a demonstrated record of multiple first-author publications. The position will be part of the Caltech Postdoctoral Scholars Program at JPL in the Atmospheric Physics and Weather Group, Earth Science Section.
Requirements:
The research will involve exploring almost all components of the water cycle and using various datasets from satellite remote sensing, in situ, or reanalysis. The emphasis will be on hydrology of cold regions including high latitudes and mountainous regions. Past experience in using precipitation from satellite (such as those used in the Global Precipitation Measurement mission; GPM), total water storage from the Gravity Recovery And Climate Experiment (GRACE), and global hydrologic modeling is highly desirable. The Postdoctoral Scholar will build a framework for assessing regional to basin-scale water budget and hydrologic changes, interact with GPM and GRACE science team members, and publish scientific papers on the developed framework and results.
