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 href="http://www.friendsofherringriver.org">http://www.friendsofherringriver.org</a><br><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.
