Postdoctoral and Research Scientists Positions
Inorganic Carbon and Water Modeling
Available at Yale University
We intend to hire seven professionals (postdoctoral associates and/or research scientists) to participate in the Global Ocean and Land Alkalinization (GOAL-A) Project. This study, which is funded by the Department of Energy (DOE) Earth Shot Program, is a collaboration among scientists at Yale, Georgia Tech, Princeton, and Texas A&M universities that aims to create a soils-to-oceans modeling framework to evaluate the efficacy, co-benefits, and risks of enhanced mineral weathering (EMW) and ocean alkalinity enhancement (OAE). To support this interdisciplinary initiative, we are seeking applicants with proficiency in modeling that is relevant to simulating physical and chemical processes that govern the flows of water, energy, and chemicals within and between watersheds, river networks, the atmosphere, and the ocean. We are especially interested in candidates with expertise in earth-system and climate modeling, ocean circulation/biogeochemical modeling, river-network modeling, watershed modeling, and reactive transport modeling.
At Yale, we are searching for post-doctoral and/or research scientists to focus on:
- Large Scale modeling of water and inorganic carbon including water transport between the ocean and watersheds, the production and transport of alkalinity in soils, riverine transport of inorganic carbon and CO2 gas exchange, and coastal ocean alkalinity cycling.
- Leading and developing innovative systems modeling frameworks to understand geospatial and temporal implications of agricultural liming on CO2 sequestration and river chemistry in the Mississippi River basin
- Facilitating collaborations with researchers in different disciplines and domains
- Mentoring graduate and undergraduate students and advising student course projects.
Required education and experiences of:
- Ph.D. in engineering, oceanography, ecology, hydrology, climate science, chemistry, or systems analysis.
- Experience in the modeling of carbon or water.
- A strong publication record
Successful applicants will be eligible to take part in the Yale Environmental Leadership and Mentoring certificate as well as pursue other career development opportunities available at the Yale POORVU center.
Interested candidates should email a cover letter and their CV, along with a list of at least three references to [email protected]
