Rising Star Faculty Researchers - Fixel Institute

Degrees earned from an educational institution outside of the United States require evaluation by a professional credentialing service provider approved by the National Association of Credential Evaluation Services (NACES), which can be found at http://www.naces.org/. The postdoc will design and deploy small seismic arrays across beach–dune transitions and integrate seismic observations with pressure/wave sensors, vegetation and morphology mapping, and UAS/drone flyovers.

We are launching an interdisciplinary effort to quantify how ocean waves transmit energy into coastal dunes and how that energy interacts with sediment properties, vegetation, water-table dynamics, and tides. A central goal is to integrate these observations with process-based numerical models to predict and explain morphological change of coastal dunes. The postdoc will design and deploy small seismic arrays across beach–dune transitions and integrate seismic observations with pressure/wave sensors, vegetation and morphology mapping, and UAS/drone flyovers. Initial tests will occur near St. Augustine/Matanzas Inlet (FL), with opportunities to expand to other Florida sites as the program grows.<table><tbody><tr><th>Classification Title:</th><td>Postdoctoral Associate</td></tr><tr><th>Classification Minimum Requirements:</th><td>The appointee shall have received the doctorate in a field appropriate to the assigned duties and responsibilities.</td></tr><tr><th>Job Description:</th><td><ul><li>Lead design, deployment, and recovery of a compact multi-station seismic array across the beach–dune transition; manage instrumentation, power, and data logistics.</li><li>Build data pipelines for continuous and campaign-style recordings; perform time-series and spectral analyses.</li><li>Integrate seismic signals with tides, water-level anomalies, and wave forcing; evaluate controls of sediment properties, vegetation, and water table position on energy transmission.</li><li> Co-develop and apply process-based numerical models of dune morphological change informed by collected datasets.</li><li>Coordinate field campaigns; interface with park/permit authorities as needed.</li><li>Mentor students; lead manuscripts and conference presentations; contribute to follow-on proposals (e.g., continuous monitoring concepts).</li></ul>UF is located in Gainesville, a city of approximately 150,000 residents in North-Central Florida, 50 miles from the Gulf, and 67 miles from the Atlantic Ocean, and within a 2-hour drive to large metropolitan areas (Orlando, Tampa, Jacksonville).
