#  Postdoctoral Position, Sustainability Management (Water Security) @ Brigham Young University 

 





May 05, 2021

 

 

*Funded Positions Available:* We are seeking diverse and creative  
candidates from any water-related or water-interested background for a  
postdoc position starting in summer or fall of 2021. Salary and benefits  
included.  
   
*Project:* Improving water security through sustainable management depends  
on an accurate understanding of human-water interactions. However,  
pervasive misconceptions of the water cycle persist among policymakers and  
the public. In a world where water mismanagement kills millions and causes  
trillions in economic damages each year, correcting water misconceptions  
has graduated from an academic exercise to a planetary priority.  
   
The postdoc will be fully integrated into a dynamic interdisciplinary team  
of 9 faculty and 25 students to coordinate research and outreach  
surrounding three interrelated activities:  
   
*1. *Creation of images, animations, performances, and interactive  
software that integrate current hydrological understanding from local to  
global scales,  
   
*2. *Quantifying the effect of teaching materials on elementary teacher  
instruction and undergraduate knowledge,  
   
*3. *Flooding the world with the pedagogical products from activities 1  
and 2 using traditional and novel dissemination channels.  
   
There will be opportunities for primary research in hydrology or education,  
development of proposals, and professional development. Our  
interdisciplinary team will combine cutting-edge hydrological, educational,  
and social sciences with innovative artistic design and outreach to  
transform how we teach and manage water.  
   
*To Apply:* email CV and letter of interest to <benabbott@byu.edu>,* by  
Friday May 21st*.
