Applied Research Hydrologist - St. Paul, MN
We are hiring a full-time applied research hydrologist with a focus on hydrologic variability and change in the Midwestern region of the U.S. The applied research hydrologist will work with the MCAP team to co-produce applied research, synthesize literature, and engage with partners on climate impacts and adaptation related to hydrologic variability and change. We are looking for a candidate with expertise in water resources management and training in applied social or natural sciences, engineering, planning, or a related field. Candidates should have familiarity with topics such as climate resilience, water management, and adaptation strategies. The researcher will work at the boundary of scientific research and application by integrating future climate projections with hydrologic models to inform water resources management and decision making. This will include running hydrological models, publishing research in peer-reviewed journals, and collaborating with a growing team of climate researchers and Extension personnel to bring MCAP-generated research into practice.

Post-Doctoral Associate (Hydrology & Climate) - St. Paul, MN
We are seeking a highly motivated and skilled postdoctoral researcher with experience in hydrology and climate variability and change. The successful candidate will conduct applied research focused on analyzing the impacts of climate change on hydrological processes in Minnesota, with a focus on changing patterns of extreme precipitation and drought. This role will involve modeling future hydrological changes at a watershed scale, engaging with community stakeholders, and translating scientific findings into practical resources for planning and decision making with a focus on informing climate adaptation strategies.

NOAA Geospatial and Climate Data Analyst Fellow - Duluth, MN
This position is part of the NOAA Coastal Resilience Fellowship Program, supporting our Advancing Regional Climate Resilience for Minnesota’s Lake Superior Coastal Region project. The fellow will work closely with MCAP, climate adaptation and resilience Extension educators, climate modelers, and GIS and communications specialists, as well as the Minnesota State Climatology Office and other partners to identify and summarize geospatial and climate data that provide Tribal and regional community decision-makers with information needed to assess climate change threats and identify and prioritize local and regional actions to manage these threats. The fellowship will involve assisting in the creation and curation of an online resource website for the project, creating concise community-level handouts that summarize projected climate change, assisting with developing data-rich presentations for community engagement and educational meetings, assisting with summarizing and presenting feedback about regional climate concerns and priority actions, and collecting and summarizing real-world cases of regional climate action.
