Location | Main Campus |
Address | Tucson, AZ USA |
Position Highlights | This collaborative research infuses data collected from hydraulic, river stage, electrical resistivity tomography, and tracer tests to yield a more reliable map of fractures and conduits in karst aquifers in a cost-effective manner and in turn, a better understanding and prediction of flow and solute transport in the karst aquifers. The overarching goal of this project is to develop, test, and validate an innovative approach and technology for characterizing 3-D karst aquifers in detail based on the data fusion concept. Outstanding UA benefits include health, dental, vision, and life insurance; paid vacation, sick leave, and holidays; UA/ASU/NAU tuition reduction for the employee and qualified family members; access to UA recreation and cultural activities; and more! The University of Arizona has been recognized for our innovative work-life programs. For more information about working at the University of Arizona and relocations services, please . |
Duties & Responsibilities | This
collaborative research infuses data collected from hydraulic, river stage,
electrical resistivity tomography, and tracer tests to yield a more reliable
map of fractures and conduits in karst aquifers in a cost-effective manner and
in turn, a better understanding and prediction of flow and solute transport in
the karst aquifers. The overarching goal of this project is to develop, test,
and validate an innovative approach and technology for characterizing 3-D karst
aquifers in detail based on the data fusion concept. These individuals should have strong backgrounds in numerical methods, computer programming using Python, Fortran, or C##, some familiarity with hydrogeology, electrical, magnetic theories, and geostatistics, and be willing to learn our successive linear estimators, VSAFT3 (variably saturated flow and solute transport in 3D), and Tecplot graphic program. The individual will be responsible for expanding our existing graphic user interface program for 2-D to 3-D situations and testing numerical data fusion methods for characterizing and understanding water flow systems in karst aquifers. |
