The Desert Research Institute (DRI) is accepting applications for a Postdoctoral Researcher in Snow Hydrology within the Division of Atmospheric Science (DAS). The incumbent will contribute to a multi-institute funded project that focuses on the snow-soil interface and atmospheric drivers of terrestrial water input to the soil. Candidates should have a background in snow hydrology, atmospheric science, and field experience with both snow and soil observations. We are particularly interested in candidates with sensor development and data management experience.

The position will be based at DRI’s Reno campus. Travel will be a significant component of the project, and will include travel to field sites, collaborators’ offices, and conferences.

Required Qualifications

• Ph.D. from an accredited university in a relevant field completed within the past 5 years.
• Research experience in one or more of the areas relevant to the funded project including but not limited to: snow hydrology, snowmelt (hydrology and the large-scale atmospheric processes driving snowmelt), boundary layer meteorology, and in situ observations of snowpack, soil moisture, and meteorological variables.
• Demonstrated contribution to original research published in peer reviewed journals.
• Excellent oral and written English communication skills.
• Experience using computer programming (e.g., Python, R, Matlab) for data analysis and visualization.
• Experience operating a vehicle and equipment in adverse weather and road conditions.
