<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">Stillwater Sciences is seeking a senior fluvial geomorphologist to lead both laboratory- and field-based research projects out of its Berkeley office.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">A principal responsibility of this position will be to lead a three-year study that uses physical modeling to investigate the controls on channel width in alluvial rivers. This study is designed to advance the theoretical understanding of channel planform dynamics and, in turn, inform the design of channel and floodplain reconstruction projects that have been planned for several Central Valley rivers. </FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">This study is part of a larger investigation funded by the California Bay-Delta Authority, entitled "Physical modeling experiments to guide river restoration projects." The applicant would be expected to contribute significantly to the other two studies that comprise this larger investigation, one of which addresses gravel augmentation below dams, and the other of which focuses on sediment movement in association with dam removal. The project was awarded to Stillwater Sciences in collaboration with U.C. Berkeley and will be conducted at U.C. Berkeley's Richmond Field Station. In addition to working with Stillwater's scientists on this project, the applicant will work closely with Dr. Bill Dietrich at U.C. Berkeley and Dr. Leonard Sklar at San Francisco State University. </FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">The applicant will also work on other Stillwater Sciences projects that address issues such as gravel transport and deposition in bedrock/boulder rivers<I></I> and<I></I> the<I></I> ecological flow requirements for rivers<I>.</I> The applicant will be expected to publish papers regularly in scientific journals. Because of the type of research being conducted and the emphasis on publications, this position should benefit applicants who may ultimately desire academic positions. </FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">The position requires a Ph.D. in geomorphology or engineering. Physical modeling/flume expertise is highly desirable, but not a necessity. The successful applicant must have strong, proven quantitative/theoretical fluvial geomorphic skills and talent and substantial experience conducting field research. The start date for the position is flexible, ranging from now to June 2004. The position will remain open until filled.</FONT></P>

<BR><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">Stillwater Sciences (</FONT><A HREF="http://www.stillwatersci.com/"><U><FONT COLOR="#0000FF" SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">www.stillwatersci.com</FONT></U></A><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">) was founded in the mid-1990s to promote rigorous science and a collaborative decision making approach to environmental problem-solving. Rather than repeat the common practice of environmental or industry advocacy, Stillwater Sciences has focused on conducting applied scientific research, providing real solutions to environmental problems. Industry and regulatory clients as well as stakeholders are equally well-served as costs are reduced by focusing on effective solutions based on mutually agreed-upon scientific results. We use a multi-disciplinary approach to properly evaluate and understand the biological and physical interdependence of ecosystems while maintaining a casual, collaborative work environment that promotes high productivity and rigorous scientific research. Stillwater Sciences has offices in Berkeley, Arcata, and Davis, California. </FONT></P>
