The Civil and Environmental Engineering Department (CEE) at the University of California, Davis invites applications for a Postdoctoral Research Associate focusing on the impact of reservoir operations on large-scale hydrologic modeling, under the supervision of Professor Jon Herman. The project will be carried out in collaboration with Professor Stefano Galelli (Cornell University). Specifically, the project aims to (1) characterize the structural uncertainty associated with the choice of dam operation models, (2) explain how this uncertainty propagates to the parameterization of large-scale hydrologic models, (3) quantify the impact of this uncertainty on the simulation of hydrologic processes, and (4) generalize practical modelling guidelines. The successful candidate will lead the reservoir simulation modeling for large-scale river basins across the continental U.S., and will also collaborate on the hydrologic modeling led by the Cornell team.

This is a two-year position beginning Winter or Summer 2025. Remote work options available for candidates located in the United States.

Required:
Ph.D. in Civil & Environmental Engineering or a related field
Strong programming experience
Strong communication skills in oral and written English
Ability to work effectively as part of a multidisciplinary team
Preferred:
Background in statistics and operations research
Proficiency with Python, high-performance computing, and machine learning
Contact Jon Herman (jdherman@ucdavis.edu) or Stefano Galelli (galelli@cornell.edu) for more information. Candidates should send a full CV, 1-2 relevant publications, and contact information for three references. Applications will be reviewed on a rolling basis, and the position will remain open until filled.
