Dear colleagues and friends,
My group has a postdoc position opening, please kindly circle the ad to the
potential candidates. Apologize for the cross posting.

*Postdoc position*

The Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering in the P.C. Rossin
College of Engineering and Applied Science at Lehigh University is seeking
a multi-disciplinary post-doctoral scientist with experience in
process-based hydrologic modeling and/or agent-based modeling (ABM) to work
on research projects related to water-food-energy-environment nexus at
watershed and regional scales. As part of a multi-disciplinary team of
water scientists and engineers, the selected candidate is expected to
participate in the development of an integrated complex distributed water
systems model and apply it to understand effects of variations in the
hydrologic cycle and climate change on coupled human-natural systems.



*Duration*

This is a one-year position (starting salary as $55,000 with benefit) with
the possibility of extension for the following years depends on work
performance and available funding. The position is immediately available
and with a flexible start date before 2019/05/01.



*Minimum Qualifications*

· Ph.D. in Civil and Environmental Engineering, Environmental Science,
Natural Resources Management, Geography, Computer Science or similar fields;

· Coding experience in Python, R, Matlab, or C++;



*Preferred Qualifications*

·Research experience in developing and applying hydrologic models in water
resources, including knowledge of optimization and water resources system
analysis;

·Experience with RiverWare or any ABM software (e.g. NetLogo) is a major
plus;

· Experience conducting original research and publishing in peer-reviewed
scientific journals;



*Major Duties*

1. Running an agent-based model that coupled with a river-reservoir routing
model: RiverWare to simulate influences of human decisions at watershed
level regarding energy-water nexus;

2. Developing an agent-based model that coupled with RiverWare to simulate
influences of human decisions at a regional level regarding energy-water
nexus. This study area will be the Colorado River and the RiverWare
software will be the Colorado River Simulation System (CRSS);

3. Participating in other research work in the Complex Adaptive Water
System (CAWS) research group, located at Lehigh University



*Application Materials Required*

The postdoc will report directly to Prof. Y. C. Ethan Yang. Please send the
following material in one single PDF file *1) letter of interest* (describing
applicants’ research experience and interests), *2) CV with a list of
publications*, *3) contact info of two references (name and email)* and/or
questions to [log in to unmask] The position will remain open until filled.

all the best,

Ethan Yang
