Applications are invited for a PhD position (Fall 2024) in the field of Hydrology at the University of Colorado Boulder. Research will explore the interactions among climate change, mountain hydrology, and water availability across the Upper Colorado River Basin using a combination of dynamical models and data-driven approaches. The candidate will use hydrologic modeling, observations, and existing climate information (in particular, from a new dynamically downscaled set of climate projections designed to sample natural climate variability) to test hypotheses that explore climate change signals in snow water resource metrics. Collaborators include climate and water scientists at the Aspen Global Change Institute, Fathom, and Cornell University. The project includes opportunities to collaborate with regional water resource decision makers.
The position will be housed in the Geography Department and the Institute of Arctic and Alpine Research (INSTAAR). A background in earth sciences, geography, geology, engineering, physics, or related fields is required. Experience with numerical modeling and the use of gridded data is desired.
Support of the position will be a mix of Research Assistant and Teacher Assistant. The target start date is Fall 2024 and a Summer 2024 start can be arranged.
If interested in the position or for more information, please contact Dr. Keith Musselman (keith.musselman@colorado.edu) by October 27, 2023. Please include your CV and a brief cover letter explaining your interest in the position.
Sincerely,
Of interest for: Hydrology Focus Research Group
