CAP Future of Aquatic Flows Cohort (2022-24) Active
The 2022-2024 Climate Adaptation Postdoctoral (CAP) Fellows cohort will explore how climate change is altering aquatic flows in streams and rivers across the country and how climate can be integrated into aquatic ecosystem management.
About
In ecosystems characterized by flowing water, such as rivers and streams, the dynamics of how the water moves - how deep it is, how fast it flows, how often it floods - have direct effects on the health, diversity, and sustainability of underlying communities. Yet increasingly, climate extremes like droughts and floods are disrupting fragile stream ecosystems by specifically changing their internal aquatic flows. Human infrastructure, such as irrigation and dams, further disrupt these dynamics, leading federal and state agencies to develop environmental flow standards to protect the Nation's aquatic ecosystems.
The 2022-2024 "Future of Aquatic Flows" cohort of the Climate Adaptation Postdoctoral Fellows (CAP Fellows) Program will explore how climate change contributes to changes in aquatic flows across the nation, how these changes will affect the long-term sustainability of ecosystems, and how climate can be integrated into establishing and maintaining environmental flow standards. Fellows situated at each of the nine regional CASCs will work with USGS, university, and regional partners to conduct research directly applicable to regional management priorities relating to aquatic flows. The fellows will also work with each other on a national synthesis project on the topic and participate in professional development training on conducting management-focused research.
Applications Now Open
Nine post-doctoral positions (one in each regional CASC) will open throughout Summer and Fall 2022 for the "Future of Aquatic Flows" CAP Fellowship cohort. Each position will be a two-year appointment and will be hosted by a regional CASC university partner. See below for project descriptions, university hosts, and application information.
Eligibility
This opportunity is open to individuals who are obtaining or have obtained a PhD at institutions of higher education; for complete eligibility requirements, please see the specific job opportunities as announced by the consortium universities.
The CAP Fellows program is committed to increasing the diversity of the workforce within our network, and encourages individuals of all ages, races, ethnicities, national origins, gender identities, sexual orientations, disabilities, cultures, religions, citizenship types, marital statuses, job classifications, veteran status types, income, and socioeconomic status types to apply. The CASC network is committed to building inclusive research and educational programs that support people of all backgrounds.
