The Hydro-Urban Bhaskar research group is seeking a postdoctoral researcher for the NSF CAREER project "Science and Education for Connecting Urban Irrigation Efficiency to Streamflow in Semi-Arid Cities". The position will focus on applying integrated hydrologic modeling to analyze hydrologic partitioning in urban areas with a focus on differences with climate and water management. Urban water management scenarios will investigate how landscape transformations shifting away from cool-season turfgrass affect groundwater recharge, streamflow, urban heat, and water use. Modeling will build on field-based data collected in Denver, Colorado and will be used to inform water management in the region.

Undergraduate summer water resources research assistant

The Hydro-Urban Bhaskar (HUB) research group is seeking a CU undergraduate student as a research assistant/intern for summer field work and other research studying how urban development affects water resources. The starting date for this work is summer 2024 and beyond, and could start in spring 2024 depending on student availability. Field work will involving monitoring hydrologic conditions in a developing watershed in Parker, Colorado with other undergraduate research assistants and graduate researchers. Other research tasks will be computer-based (could be completed remotely), while others will be providing assistance in SEEC (East Campus). Research work will be paid hourly. Required qualifications for this position are reliability and a valid driver’s license. Ideal (but not required) qualifications are Civil Engineering or Environmental Engineering major with interest in water resources and access to a vehicle that can be driven for field work (mileage will be reimbursed), with early undergraduate students encouraged to apply. Preference will be given to students from backgrounds historically underrepresented in engineering. To be considered, send an email about your interest and resume to aditi.bhaskar@colorado.edu.
