[LTER-All-lter] Interesting CZO postdoc opportunity (sorry for any cross-listing)

[Frank Davis]

A Postdoctoral Research Associate is sought to conduct research spanning
the Critical Zone Observatory network (http://www.criticalzone.org/
<http://www.criticalzone.org/>). 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.
