About the Role

Position Summary
We are seeking a highly motivated Postdoctoral Scholar to conduct research on the application of geophysical survey tools to quantify subsurface water dynamics and aquifer processes in irrigated agricultural systems. The successful candidate will integrate field-based geophysical measurements with hydrologic data and modeling approaches to improve understanding of water quantity, recharge, and subsurface flow in intensively managed fields.

This position emphasizes the use of noninvasive geophysical methods to characterize spatial and temporal variability in soil moisture, vadose zone properties, shallow aquifer dynamics, and irrigation impacts on groundwater resources.

Research Responsibilities


+ Design and conduct geophysical surveys in irrigated fields using methods such as electrical resistivity tomography (ERT), electromagnetic induction (EMI), ground-penetrating radar (GPR), and related techniques

+ Integrate geophysical da...
