Job Details
Position Summary
A Post-Doctoral Research Associate position in environmental geophysics and hydrogeology is available at University at Buffalo. The successful candidate will work on a project to advance stochastic analysis of field-scale solute transport parameters in highly heterogeneous aquifers from geophysical and hydrogeological measurements. The project includes developing and testing novel stochastic estimation strategies that: 1) incorporates prior physics-based constraints of the solute transport process (i.e., accounts for multiple scales of plume dispersion and complexity) to improve velocity, plume-dispersion, and mass estimations; and 2) performs stochastic estimation in the reduced-hydrologic-process parameter space to improve computational efficiency and enable field-scale characterization of small-scale transport processes in highly heterogeneous aquifers.
The required background includes a PhD in geophysics/hydrogeophysics, applied mathematics, or related field. Relevant experience includes hydrogeophysical forward and inverse modeling, stochastic analysis, reduced-order-modeling, etc. Familiarity with designing and conducting laboratory solute transport experiments and strong programming ( MATLAB or Python) background are highly desirable. The position is in the Department of Geology at the University at Buffalo.
The position is available immediately with a term of two year and may be extended for an additional year based on satisfactory progress and additional funding considerations.
