Oak Ridge, United States Oak Ridge National Laboratory Full time

Requisition Id 13518 

Overview:

ESD is an interdisciplinary research and development organization with more than 60 years of achievement in local, regional, national, and international environmental research. Our vision is to expand scientific knowledge and develop innovative strategies and technologies that will strengthen the nation’s leadership in creating solutions to help sustain the Earth’s natural resources. Our scientists conduct research, develop technology, and perform analyses to understand and assess responses of environmental systems at the environment-human interface and the consequences of alternative energy and environmental strategies.

As a U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Office of Science national laboratory, ORNL has an extraordinary 80-year history of solving the nation’s biggest problems. We have a dedicated and creative staff of over 6,000 people Our vision for diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility (DEIA) is to cultivate an environment and practices that foster diversity in ideas and in the people across the organization, as well as to ensure ORNL is recognized as a workplace of choice. These elements are critical for enabling the execution of ORNL’s broader mission to accelerate scientific discoveries and their translation into energy, environment, and security solutions for the nation.

Major Duties/Responsibilities:

The selected candidate will have responsibility for:

Developing and evaluating models of gray and green infrastructure in Amanzi-ATS, a process-based hydrologic model.

Leveraging 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.

Developing 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.

You will also have the opportunity to 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.

Basic Qualifications:

A PhD in hydrology, applied mathematics, civil/environmental engineering or a related field completed within the last 5 years.

Preferred Qualifications:

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.

Applicants cannot have received their Ph.D. more than five years prior to the date of application and must complete all degree requirements before starting their appointment. The appointment length will be for up to 24 months with the potential for extension. Initial appointments and extensions are subject to performance and the availability of funding.
