SWAT-Related Job Announcements

We seek a highly skilled candidate to be part of an interdisciplinary team that will use an integrated approach to understand how landscape-scale processes and land management activities are affecting instream habitat and associated aquatic communities. The successful candidate will lead the development of a modeling framework (using SWAT+ and hydrodynamic modelling tools) that links the effects of land management activities, i.e. Best Management Practices, on river ecohydrology (river discharge and timing) to anticipate responses of associated aquatic biota. There will be opportunities to develop peer-reviewed manuscripts, attend professional society conferences, and to collaborate with other researchers in the MU School of Natural Resources. More information and how to apply is provided in the document.

A postdoctoral research associate position is available at Texas A&M AgriLife Research, Temple, Texas, with a focus on hydrologic modeling, water quality, carbon dynamics, and greenhouse gas emissions (CO₂ and CH₄) from freshwater systems. Applicants should hold a Ph.D. in Agricultural Engineering, Civil and Environmental Engineering, Soil and Crop Sciences, Earth and Environmental Sciences, or a closely related field, with demonstrated experience in terrestrial and freshwater ecosystem modeling at the watershed scale. The successful candidate will conduct literature reviews, compile and analyze emissions data, integrate environmental datasets, and implement CO₂ and CH₄ processes within APEX and SWAT agroecosystem models. Strong background in agroecosystem and watershed hydrology, proficiency in scientific programming (Python, Fortran, etc.), and experience with process-based models are preferred. The candidate will be expected to publish findings in peer-reviewed journals, contribute to proposal development, and collaborate with interdisciplinary teams. Appointment and extension are contingent on performance and available funding.
