The Department of Geology and Environmental Science (https://geology.pitt.edu/) at the University of Pittsburgh invites applications for a tenure-track Assistant Professor in hydrology and water sustainability. Given the recent and expected environmental change that impacts water quality and its presence, the Department seeks a hydrologist to develop the capacity to understand these issues of regional, national, and global importance. We seek a colleague with expertise in identifying and modeling hydrologic change (e.g., human-, climatic-, or planetary-driven shifts) and an interest in solutions to water challenges. Our goal is to hire a colleague who uses a combination of quantitative field-based measurements, data-driven modeling, or remote sensing to better understand water-climate-human interactions. Specific areas of interest include but are not limited to surface water hydrology, groundwater hydrology, the interacting roles of climate variability and land use change on hydrologic processes, physical models of ecohydrologic processes from the plot to the global scale, as well as volcanic and planetary hydrology.

The successful candidate will complement existing research clusters and establish an externally funded, internationally recognized research program that complements existing strengths in the Department. Strong collaborative opportunities exist across the University, including the nationally awarded Pittsburgh Water Collaboratory (https://www.water.pitt.edu/ – a faculty-led group that drives knowledge co-production among local, regional, and national governments, non-profits, and community groups with a mission of finding sustainable research-based solutions to water challenges, the Climate and Global Change Center (https://www.climatecenter.pitt.edu/), the Mascaro Center for Sustainable Innovation (https://www.sustainabilityinstitute.pitt.edu/), and the emerging Pitt Space Initiative. Other research areas in the Department include environmental biogeochemistry, surface processes, geophysics, volcanology, planetary science, and more. Teaching duties include undergraduate and graduate courses in the candidate’s area of expertise. The department offers a B.S. degree in Environmental Science, a B.S. degree in Geology, a B.A. degree in Environmental Studies, a Geology Minor, a GIS certificate program, a professional M.S. in Geographical Information Systems (GIS) & Remote Sensing, and M.S. and Ph.D. degrees in Geology and Environmental Science.

Position description: The Spatial and Population Ecology of Carnivores (SPEC) Lab at the Caesar Kleberg Wildlife Research Institute at Texas A&M – Kingsville, in partnership with the East Foundation, is pleased to announce a Ph.D. opportunity to assess bobcat (Lynx rufus), coyote (Canis latrans), and ocelot (Leopardus pardalis) spatial and foraging ecology in the context of ocelot reintroduction efforts. South Texas is home to the last two remaining ocelot populations in the United States, and a reintroduction effort is dedicated to establishing a third population. Project work will take place at East Foundation’s San Antonio Viejo Ranch, the proposed site of ocelot reintroduction, and will investigate (1) interspecific interactions of bobcats and coyotes via GPS collars and camera traps; (2) dietary niche overlap as revealed through stable isotope analysis and/or DNA metabarcoding; (3) quantifying resource availability on the reintroduction landscape; and (4) how community processes shift in the presence of reintroduced ocelots. Of note is that ocelot reintroduction is a process with many moving parts – if reintroduction is not feasible over the course of this Ph.D. position, a meaningful comparison can be made with East Foundation’s El Sauz Ranch, a system that has all three mesocarnivore species: ocelots, bobcats, and coyotes. The chosen student will be expected to play a significant role in the field components of the project, including trapping and GPS-collaring of bobcats, coyotes, and eventually ocelots at San Antonio Viejo Ranch, as well as deployment and maintenance of a camera trapping grid.

The SPEC Lab is a new and growing lab and we expect to recruit a student who is passionate about carnivore conservation AND prepared for the challenges of working in dense thornscrub habitat in temperatures that are regularly in the 80s-90s+. Interested applicants should note that a thoughtful cover letter addressing motivations and both minimum *and* desired qualifications will be the most important factor in choosing the finalist pool.

Master’s degree in Wildlife, Ecology, Statistics, or related field by the anticipated start date (Spring 2025) — A note that I will not be accepting students without a Master’s degree for this position
Proficiency in the coding language R
Proficiency in the statistical analysis of data from wildlife populations
Ability to conduct fieldwork in challenging environmental conditions
Ability to work both independently and collaboratively
Ability to meet deadlines
Excellent written and personal communication skills

Desired qualifications:

Experience with live-trapping, chemical immobilization, and/or GPS collaring of wildlife
Experience deploying and monitoring camera trap arrays
Experience in geospatial analysis (R, ArcGIS, QGIS)
