JOBS:

• Exciting postdoctoral opportunity: Research into the connection between groundwater and surface water in the Thirlmere Lakes National Park (Sydney, Australia)

  • Project: The successful postdoc candidate will be responsible for hydrogeological investigations, with particular emphasis on novel methods to map and quantify surface water groundwater interactions and shallow groundwater flow in a complex lake system. The postdoc will be responsible for providing data on the subsurface component of the water balance for the lakes, but will also be developing and trialling novel methods for quantifying surface water groundwater interactions and publishing the results in high quality water resource journals. The preferred candidate will have a proven track-record of research excellence in the field of groundwater hydrology especially the area of surface water groundwater interaction including experience with fieldwork, deployment of monitoring equipment and data interpretation. The position comes with a 50% teaching responsibility, which includes tutoring and preparing as well as delivering lectures and workshops.

• Students can apply for mini (<$1500) or large (>$1500) grants. Previously completed grant projects include small installations like water bottle fill stations and bike racks; interpretive projects like installing solar panels on the NEMHA art truck; and large projects like the Campus Farmers Market, the student permaculture garden, and the industrial composter. In addition to being a great way for you to make an impact on campus, the Student Sustainability grants also provide excellent opportunities to practice grant writing, develop professional networks, and acquire funding for exceptional class projects.  More information is available at usu.edu/bgg
