Nature Based Solutions Postdoc:

The Wetland Ecology and Ecohydrology Labs at the University of Alabama are seeking a Postdoctoral Associate to work on a collaborative project focused on wetland ecology and coastal resilience. The broader research team is focused on developing actionable design guidance for Nature Based Solutions (i.e., wetland restoration) along the US Gulf Coast. Our highly interdisciplinary group includes social scientists, wetland ecologists, water resource engineers, and government agency partners; and our goal is to develop design guidance for wetland restoration activities that reduce flooding and increase coastal resilience to flooding. To accomplish this goal, we will employ a combination of community engagement, wetland plant community characterization, and state-of-the-art hydrologic and hydraulic modeling. This work is funded by NOAA.

Wetland Connectivity Postdoc:

The ‘Bama Ecohydrology Lab seeks a Postdoctoral Associate to conduct research on hydrologic connectivity, freshwater wetlands, and carbon/nitrogen biogeochemistry. Broadly, the goal of the larger project is to examine how flood disturbances impact nitrogen and carbon biogeochemistry across headwater watersheds at both wetland- and watershed-scales. Our interdisciplinary team includes ecosystem ecologists, biogeochemists, and hydrologists; and the project will focus on headwater watersheds located at the Tanglewood J. Nicholene Bishop Biological Station located 30 miles south of Tuscaloosa, AL. The work is funded by DOE-ESS.
