Seeking postdoctoral and post-master’s applicants for 2 Great Lakes Fellowships:
J. Philip Keillor Wisconsin Coastal Management-Sea Grant Fellow
J. Philip Keillor Wisconsin Great Lakes Coastal Leadership Academy Fellow
Application Deadlines: February 2, 2024
The Wisconsin Sea Grant College Program and the Wisconsin Coastal Management Program seek postdoctoral and post-master’s candidates interested in tackling science and policy challenges related to increasing coastal community resilience across the Great Lakes region. Together, these programs will fund two state fellowship positions, named in honor of a longtime Sea Grant coastal engineering expert Phil Keillor, to celebrate his legacy in building resilience in Wisconsin communities. The Fellow will work closely with Wisconsin Coastal Management Program’s Coastal Hazards Work Group, Sea Grant’s coastal engineer, local government representatives, and researchers from a variety of fields to tackle the important challenge of connecting science related to coastal processes – including flooding, erosion, and storms – with communities that could benefit from the information.
These Fellowship positions provide a unique educational and career opportunity for a recent graduate interested both in coastal resources and the policy decisions affecting those resources in Wisconsin. The program places a recent master’s or doctoral graduate within a state agency full-time for one year, with the Fellow bringing technical skills to address water issues while receiving valuable real-world science-policy experience from the resource professionals who serve as mentors. These mutual partnerships result in advancing science to support policy decisions as well as valuable training opportunities for new professionals entering the workforce. The fellowship provides strong mentoring and relationship-building with an emphasis on the Fellow's professional development and success.

Ph.D./MS Position: Groundwater Tracers and Age Dating at the University of Idaho, Geological Sciences.
We invite Ph.D./MS applicants to participate in a recently funded collaborative research study to evaluate groundwater recharge at the margin of the flood basalts composing the Columbia River Plateau. This study will use a traditional groundwater age-dating technique and a hypothesized relative age indicator to discriminate faster or slower recharge zones along a mountain front to improve our understanding of groundwater residence time and influences on groundwater recharge.
This study will build on recent work that used noble gases and δ2H and δ18O values to infer faster and slower pathways into this highly heterogeneous aquifer system. The student will perform a high-intensity sampling of wells in the margin alluvium for analysis of chlorofluorocarbons, sulfur hexafluoride, per- and polyfluorinated substances, and the stable isotopes of water. Additionally, the student will synthesize new and existing tracer data to evaluate aquifer dynamics because of variable recharge along the basin margin. This project represents a developmental process to increase our understanding of recharge in these complex fractured-basalt systems to better estimate the effects of increased withdrawals, drought, and(or) artificial/enhanced recharge.
Applicants must have a degree in geochemistry, hydrology, or a related field. Preference will be given to candidates with experience using groundwater tracers. Stipend, healthcare, and tuition coverage are covered. Applications will be reviewed as they are received. The position will remain open until filled. If you have any questions regarding the application process and eligibility, please contact Dr. Jeff Langman, at jlangman@uidaho.edu. In your application email, please provide a CV and motivation for applying for the position along with contact information for three references.

Postdoctoral Scholar in Groundwater Quality and Land Use
https://lnkd.in/dn_Wmxww
Interested applicants should send a CV and cover letter no later than February 15, 2025, to Prof. Bernhard Mayer: bmayer@ucalgary.ca
The Department of Earth, Energy, and Environment in the Faculty of Science at the University of Calgary is accepting applications for a Postdoctoral Scholar in Groundwater Quality and Land Use.
Job Denoscription:
At the University of Calgary, the Applied Geochemistry Group has an opening for a postdoctoral scholar. This is a full-time position with the option to work in-person, or hybrid (or a combination of both) for up to 1 year (with potential for extension) with a preferred start date in early 2025. The ideal candidate combines experience in groundwater quality assessments with expertise in geospatial analyses and statistics.
The project investigates the causes of decadal-scale changes in groundwater quality in Alberta. The successful candidate will use approaches including statistical and geospatial analyses of provincial-scale groundwater quality and land use datasets from the Alberta Biodiversity Monitoring Institute (ABMI) to identify land use impacts on the quality of shallow groundwater. The Investigations will focus on areas where increasing trends in nitrate and chloride have been found in shallow groundwater (<150 m). In combination with isotopic and geochemical data, the research team led by the post-doc will assess where anthropogenic impacts on shallow groundwater have occurred and which land use changes have facilitated change.
The science is enabled by a provincial-scale historical groundwater quality dataset with over >6M results and the ABMI Human Footprint Inventory with >5M polygons delineated for >100 feature types from SPOT6 satellite imagery. Human footprint occupies 31% of Alberta, with agriculture covering 21%. Most of the human footprint in central and southern Alberta is a result of the province's farming legacy since the late 1800s. Previous studies in Alberta have shown the effects of agricultural land use on shallow groundwater contaminants including local changes in nitrate and chloride concentrations where confined animal feeding operations impacted groundwater quality from manure application at the land surface. While a province-wide picture of groundwater quality variations is emerging very recently, there has not yet an analysis of how temporal trends relate to land use changes throughout the last decades.
The postdoc will join the Applied Geochemistry Group (AGG) at the University of Calgary (https://lnkd.in/drPfeWWy). AGG researchers collaborate with the Geospatial Centre at the ABMI at the University of Alberta (https://lnkd.in/dJXnMADm) led by Dr. Cynthia McClain, the Alberta Geological Survey (Dr. Jessica Liggett) and other collaborating agencies.

PhD Researcher (f/m/x) - Quantifying catchment susceptibility to rapid transitions between hydroclimatic extremes
The UFZ
The Helmholtz Centre for Environmental Research (UFZ) with its 1,100 employees has gained an excellent reputation as an international competence centre for environmental sciences. We are part of the largest scientific organisation in Germany, the Helmholtz association. Our mission: Our research seeks to find a balance between social development and the long-term protection of our natural resources.
The job
We are looking for a PhD candidate for the interdisciplinary PhD Cohort SEESAW (Societal and environmental impacts of complex extremes in a changing world). The cohort aims to understand the impacts of hydroclimatic extremes with a focus on droughts and transitions from drought to floods by combining unique large-scale datasets of hydrometeorological observations, remote sensing, climate simulations and newspaper-based impacts.
Your tasks
For this, the candidate will use Germany-wide hydrometeorological observations and process-based data-driven approaches to identify river catchments particularly prone to the rapid transitions between extremes. The candidate will particularly investigate catchment controls of fast onset and slow recovery of streamflow and groundwater droughts, identify catchments susceptible to unprecedented floods and examine changes in drought to flood transitions in last decades.
The candidate is also expected to interact with other PhD candidates of the SEESAW cohort to select extreme events and link hazard and impact perspectives together to improve our preparedness for complex hydroclimatic extremes in a changing climate.
