APPLICATION WINDOW

Open date: April 15, 2026

Most recent review date: Friday, May 1, 2026 at 11:59pm (Pacific Time)
Applications received after this date will be reviewed by the search committee if the position has not yet been filled.

Applications will continue to be accepted until this date, but those received after the review date will only be considered if the position has not yet been filled.

POSITION DESCRIPTION

Position Overview

The Lynch Lab at UC Davis is seeking a motivated and qualified postdoctoral researcher to lead the ecohydrological components of an interdisciplinary forest health project. In collaboration with the US Forest Service Pacific Southwest Research Station—working closely with collaborators David Dralle (Research Hydrologist) and Natalie van Doorn (Research Urban Ecologist)—and funded by the San Francisco Public Utilities Commission (SFPUC), this project investigates tree resilience to "weather whiplash" and extreme climate events in the San Francisco Bay Area's wildland-urban interface. The researcher will focus on understanding the underlying subsurface hydrological drivers of tree water stress and mortality in oak woodlands across the Alameda Creek Watershed.

Research Areas We are seeking qualified applicants to work on the following areas of research:

The influence of drought and reduced water availability in soils and weathered bedrock on tree health and water balance.
Establishment of water relations for trees to understand water limitation tolerance and develop vulnerability curves.
Linkages between tree water sourcing, subsurface water storage, and forest health outcomes.
Integration of hydrological data with broader ecological predisposing factors and biological agents.

Responsibilities

Review literature on water relationships in oak woodland ecosystems.
Install and monitor multi-depth soil moisture sensors (time domain transmissometers) up to 1m deep, and lead (under guidance of Dr. David Dralle) installation of deep monitoring boreholes targeting the bedrock root zone.
Collect monthly field measurements of tree water stress, including pre-dawn and mid-day water potentials at two oak woodland sites.
Conduct lab work to establish tree water relations, identifying critical stress thresholds like the turgor loss point and mapping leaf hydraulic vulnerability curves.
Collaborate across disciplines, regularly engaging with Forest Service hydrologists and ecologists, SFPUC land managers, and other project stakeholders.
Analyze data, prepare manuscripts for peer-reviewed journals, and present findings at scientific conferences and partner meetings.

QUALIFICATIONS

Basic qualifications (required at time of application)

PhD in ecohydrology, hydrology, plant physiology, ecology, forestry, or a related field.

Preferred qualifications (other preferred, but not required, qualifications for the position)

Experience conducting fieldwork, ideally involving complex environmental instrumentation.
Experience with plant water potential field measurements (e.g., pressure chambers) and/or subsurface moisture monitoring.
Ability to work independently and collaboratively across disciplines.
Strong writing, communication, and organizational skills.
Publication record in relevant ecohydrological or physiological areas.
Familiarity with Mediterranean-type climate ecosystems, oak woodlands, or tree canopy dynamics.
