<p>All, I am excited to announce a Post-Doctoral opportunity in
estuarine sedimentation to support tidal restoration. The full
position description is attached. <br>
<br>
<b>Project: </b>The Herring River Restoration Project is being
planned and will be undertaken by a partnership comprised of the
Town of Wellfleet, Massachusetts; Cape Cod National Seashore;
several other federal and state agencies and local advocacy
groups. Restoration of tidal influence to the Herring River
through the replacement of tidally restrictive flow structures is
expected to promote reestablishment of hundreds of acres of
inter-tidal salt marsh and associated habitats and ecological
functions. However, there are several concerns about uncertain
outcomes and potential unintended consequences. Among these are
changes to sediment transport and nutrient flows that may
negatively impact local resources. Potential impacts to the
abundant and financially valuable aquaculture operations in the
receiving waters of Wellfleet Harbor are a particular concern.
Development and implementation of rigorous, science-based
monitoring protocols are needed to fully understand and document
the pre-restoration baseline conditions and to support meaningful
projections of future conditions with the Herring River undergoing
tidal restoration. Data and analyses derived from this study will
also be incorporated into the project’s detailed, quantitative
decision-analysis process and adaptive management plan. Detailed
information about the Herring River Project can be found at <a

<br>
<b>Position: </b>The primary focus is study design,
implementation, and deployment of field instrumentation and other
data collection that will quantitatively capture the processes
that drive fine-grained (suspended load and bedload) sediment
transport between the river and the harbor. This position is based
at the Center for Coastal Studies’ Hiebert Marine Lab in
Provincetown, MA. This is a fully funded, full-time position with
benefits for a 3-year appointment. Extension of the position
beyond the 3-year term is anticipated, pending future funding and
project needs. A rough breakdown of work-related duties is 40%
field, 30% lab, 20% data entry/management and 10% other duties as
assigned. The PD will be guided by a post-doctoral review
committee comprised of the primary CCS supervisor and staff from
Cape Cod National Seashore, the Herring River project team, the
University of Massachusetts-Boston, and the USGS at Woods Hole. <br>
