The successful candidate will employ a range of statistical techniques to detect causal networks in water systems based on time-series data. In particular, the postdoc will focus on understanding feedbacks between hydro-climatic conditions, riverine ecosystem integrity, human needs, and reservoir operations; and on applying these inferences to the Lower Colorado River Basin in the context of multi‑objective reservoir operation. The postdoc will be part of an exciting, interdisciplinary team composed of stream ecologists, hydrologists, social scientists, and modelers (see ad for more details).
