The University of Minnesota Climate Adaptation Partnership (MCAP) is hiring a full-time applied research hydrologist with a focus on hydrologic variability and change in the Midwestern region of the U.S. The applied research hydrologist will work with the MCAP team to co-produce applied research and engage with partners on climate impacts and adaptation related to hydrologic variability and change. We are looking for a candidate with expertise in water resources management and training in applied social or natural sciences, engineering, planning, or a related field. Candidates should have familiarity with topics such as climate resilience, water management, and adaptation strategies. The researcher will work at the boundary of scientific research and application by integrating future climate projections with hydrologic models to inform water resources management and decision making. This will include running hydrological models, publishing research in peer-reviewed journals, and collaborating with a growing team of climate researchers and Extension personnel to bring MCAP-generated research into practice.
About Us: MCAP offers critical resources and training to help communities respond to changing climate conditions and prepare for the years to come. Affiliated with both University of Minnesota Extension and the College of Food, Agricultural and Natural Resource Sciences, we perform foundational climate research while also offering hands-on support to individuals and organizations across a range of backgrounds and industries in Minnesota, the Midwest region and beyond.
