Required:

Ph.D in civil engineering, physical geography or closely related fields; strong written and oral communication skills; proven record of high productivity.

Desired Skills:

Experience in hydrology and statistics, stochastic streamflow approaches, flow extremes, and paleoclimate reconstruction preferred.
