Distinguished Sabbatical Visitor Fellowship

The Wyoming Center for Environmental Hydrology and Geophysics (WyCEHG) invites applications for the WyCEHG Distinguished Sabbatical Visitor Fellowship.  WyCEHG (uwyo.edu/wycehg) is an interdisciplinary, NSF-supported research center at the University of Wyoming that combines near-surface geophysics, surface and groundwater hydrology, ecology, modeling and surface processes.

Fellowships will support scientists in these and related fields who will spend a one- or two-semester stay at UW to work with WyCEHG scientists.  Fellowships are available for stays beginning in 2013 or 2014 and carry a personal stipend of up to $33 K for a two-semester sabbatical; additional resources may be available for WyCEHG-related research. 

WyCEHG

Wyoming Center for Environmental Hydrology and Geophysics (WyCEHG) was designed to "establish a lasting center of excellence in environmental hydrology and geophysics that transforms science and watershed management in Wyoming by providing cutting-edge knowledge and tools to water resource managers and scientists in the public and private sectors."

"This multidisciplinary center encompasses new physical and intellectual infrastructure that enables a comprehensive research program linking surface and subsurface watershed hydrology, geophysics, remote sensing, and computational modeling. This effort builds on existing intellectual strengths in Wyoming and exploits unique infrastructural advantages such as the new NCAR-Wyoming Supercomputing Center (NWSC). The scientific focus of this project aligns with the State Science and Technology Plan and also coordinates with Wyoming’s recently funded EPSCoR Track-2 collaborative program to develop computing resources for hydrology modeling."
