Hydrologic Modeling Research Associate

University of Mississippi; Oxford (MS); Vor Ort; USD 55.000 - 90.000; Vollzeit

Zusammenfassung

The University of Mississippi invites applications for a research-focused position in watershed hydrology and surface water systems. The role emphasizes developing and applying advanced numerical models for flood forecasting, watershed planning, and water resources management, with opportunities to publish and collaborate across disciplines.

Required is a graduate degree and strong programming skills (FORTRAN, Python, R).

Qualifikationen

• Master’s degree required in Civil Engineering, Environmental Engineering, Environmental Science, Atmospheric Science, Earth Science, Hydrology, Water Resources Engineering or closely related field.
• Candidates expected to receive their degree by end of current semester encouraged to apply.

Aufgaben

• Develop, implement, and apply surface water, watershed, and flood models for hydrologic, hydraulic, and water quality analyses.
• Verify and validate models using field observations, monitoring data, and historical flood events.
• Simulate watershed processes including rainfall-runoff transformation, streamflow routing, flood inundation, sediment transport, and pollutant fate and transport.
• Evaluate impacts of land use change, climate variability, and extreme weather on flooding and water quality.
• Support development of computational tools and decision-support systems for flood forecasting and watershed planning.
