We are seeking a highly motivated Postdoctoral Research Associate to join our team at Oak Ridge National Laboratory. The successful candidate will have a strong background in hydrology and water cycle modeling, with a focus on flood risk assessment and mitigation.
Key Responsibilities- Develop and evaluate models of gray and green infrastructure in Amanzi-ATS, a process-based hydrologic model.
- Leverage these developments to evaluate how changing climate, land use/land cover, and scenarios of infrastructure development will affect flooding in Southeast Texas in the coming decades.
- Develop hypothesis-driven numerical experiments around the changing risk of compound flooding, bringing data and hydrologic process understanding together with models to evaluate these hypotheses, and leading papers describing those findings.
- Interact with local stakeholders and experts in design, facilitating the codesign of flood mitigation strategies and evaluating, with models, the efficacy of these strategies which will inform local climate and flood mitigation plans.
- Deliver ORNL's mission by aligning behaviors, priorities, and interactions with our core values of Impact, Integrity, Teamwork, Safety, and Service. Promote diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility by fostering a respectful workplace – in how we treat one another, work together, and measure success.
- A PhD in hydrology, applied mathematics, civil/environmental engineering or a related field completed within the last 5 years.
- Prior knowledge and demonstrated expertise in one or more of the following areas are required: 1) flood modeling; 2) integrated surface subsurface hydrologic modeling; 3) modeling the effects of green or gray infrastructure on the water cycle; 4) modeling the coastal water cycle, e.g. hydrometeorology, tropical storms, coastal flooding, etc; 5) high-performance computing.
- Experience using hydrologic, hydrodynamic, or similar models is required; experience developing them is a plus.
- Experience in programming languages including C++ and Fortran (for model development) and python or GIS (for model evaluation and workflow) is advantageous.
- Experience processing and leveraging large, complex datasets of observations is advantageous.
- Excellent written and oral communication skills.
- Motivated self-starter with the ability to work independently and to participate creatively in collaborative teams across the laboratory.
- Ability to function well in a fast-paced research environment, set priorities to accomplish multiple tasks within deadlines, and adapt to ever changing needs.
