Overview<\/strong><\/div>\n

At SERC, the\u00a0Technology in Ecology Lab<\/a>\u00a0collaborates extensively to design and support technological innovation and production to serve ecological research, experimental design, and data infrastructure \u00a0We develop and support several ongoing climate change experiments such as\u00a0SMARTX<\/a>,\u00a0GENX<\/a>, and\u00a0MERIT<\/a>, and maintain sensor and data infrastructure for the\u00a0MarineGEO<\/a>\u00a0chemical and physical observations program as well as\u00a0COMPASS<\/a>. We operate at the interface of ecology, engineering, and data programming.<\/p>\n

The\u00a0SERC Watershed Science Lab<\/a>\u00a0conducts research on the ecosystem ecology and biogeochemistry of watersheds and stream networks. We are especially interested in understanding how land use and land management interact with climate to affect stream network functioning with respect to organic carbon and nutrient transformations and fluxes. This particular position will support the transition of a 50-year old watershed monitoring project to a sensor-based program.\u00a0<\/p>\n

This hire is for a joint position between Technology in Ecology Lab and the SERC Watershed Science Lab to help integrate watershed monitoring into SERC\u2019s real time networks and create data workflows that implement automation into stream monitoring protocols.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Application Period: October 15, 2023\u00a0–\u00a0November 15, 2023<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
