<div dir="ltr"><p>A Postdoctoral Research Associate is sought to conduct research
spanning the Critical Zone Observatory network (<a href="http://www.criticalzone.org/" target="_blank">http://www.criticalzone.org/ </a><wbr>).
This network of nine heavily instrumented landscapes is
generating large datasets and deep insights into the nature of
the water and energy fluxes through Earth’s living terrestrial
surface. The successful applicant will be supervised by Noah
Molotch (CU Boulder) and Ciaran Harman (Johns Hopkins
University) to work with a team of scientists from across the
network. They will synthesize these data, and answer two
fundamental questions about the relationship between critical
zone architecture and hydrologic function: 1) How does critical
zone structure influence hydrologic processes and functions? 2)
Do hydrologic processes and critical zone structures co-evolve?
They will address these questions through an inter-comparison of
1) perceptual models (in the sense of a model based on words,
description, diagrams, etc.) of each CZO, capturing what is
understood about their internal structure and hydrologic
processes, and 2) quantitative hydrologic signatures that
capture essential differences in the CZOs’ hydrologic
functions. The initial position is for one year, with the
possibility of extension.</p>
