Funded PhD position in Coastal Hydrology

[Hamed Moftakhari]

Dear colleagues,

Please, help spread the word.

Thanks,

A Ph.D. research assistantship position is available in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at The University of Alabama. A qualified candidate will join the Coastal Hydrology Lab and will collaborate with researchers at The Center for Complex Hydrosystems Research.

The focus of research will be on coupling hydrologic and hydrodynamic models to explore compound coastal flooding inundation dynamics (and related processes) under various hydroclimate variability scenarios, human activities (i.e. urbanization and dredging) and sea level rise.

A qualified applicant must have strong quantitative and analytical skills, and preferably have expertise in hydrologic and hydrodynamic modeling and programming with Matlab/Python/R.

Send your inquires (with a a copy of your CV attached) along with the contact information for three references and a sample writing to Dr. Hamed Moftakhari (hmoft...@eng.ua.edu).

Members of underrepresented groups in STEM are particularly encouraged to apply. The positions carry a full tuition support, a stipend, and health insurance. Additional funding for conference presentations will be available. Position can start as early as January 5, 2022.
