Postdoctoral Researcher
About The Position
Applications are invited for one postdoctoral researcher position at Florida Gulf Coast University (FGCU) as part of a collaborative research project involving FGCU, the University of Florida (UF), and Florida State University (FSU). The project integrates field experiments, watershed modeling, and artificial intelligence to investigate the effects of agricultural nutrient reduction on downstream water quality and harmful algal blooms. Research will focus on lysimeter experiments, field hydrology, nutrient and water-quality monitoring, and integration of field observations with watershed and machine learning analyses. Field activities will primarily occur in Immokalee, Florida. The successful candidate will work as part of an interdisciplinary team across FGCU, UF, and FSU and will have opportunities to conduct field and computational research, publish in peer-reviewed journals, present findings at national conferences, supervise undergraduate and graduate students, and engage in multiple career development opportunities.
