The Hufford and Nippgen Research Labs at the University of Wyoming invite applications for a motived student seeking to complete a PhD in the field of ecosystem science. The student will work with a team of researchers on an NSF-funded project that aims to explore reclamation outcomes at sites in Wyoming affected by large-scale land disturbances.
The core research program will comprise:
* Assessing ecological and hydrologic conditions using on-the-ground fieldwork, UAV-based remote sensing (multispectral and Lidar), and parsimonious hydrologic models.
* Evaluating the effects of topographic restructuring on vegetation recruitment, species diversity, soil moisture, surface runoff, sediment export, and erosion.
Team members include Dr. Kristina Hufford, Dr. Fabian Nippgen, and Dr. Roger Coupal, and the successful applicant will have opportunities to work with state agency personnel and engineers who regulate and design land reclamation of abandoned mine lands. The student will be guided and supported by the full team with the goal of learning and applying remote sensing and land-based field methodologies, as well as modeling data over a chronological sequence of reclamation sites. Research outcomes will predict how well different reclamation methods meet regulatory requirements as well as baselines for ecological recovery.
Applicants should have a degree (MS preferred) in ecosystem sciences such as hydrology, ecology, or related fields. Preferred qualifications include a keen interest in ecological restoration and reclamation practices, experience (at bachelor's or master’s degree level) in ecology or remote sensing, strong quantitative data analysis skills (e.g., in R or Python) and the desire to apply ecological and hydrological models.
TO APPLY: The team encourages interested students to reach out with questions by contacting Dr. Kristina Hufford at khufford@uwyo.edu (please use the subject line UW Ecosystem Science PhD). You may apply by emailing the following information: (1) a one-page statement describing your interest in the project and relevant aspects of your background, (2) transcripts from bachelor’s programs, as well as any graduate programs (unofficial transcripts are acceptable), (3) a resume or CV, and (4) the contact information of three references.

The Hydrology group at the University of Lausanne, Switzerland, is seeking candidates for 2 fully funded Ph.D. positions. Expected start between February-October 2024.
'''Position 1: Water Transit Times and Water Quality in Catchments (apply: https://shorturl.at/OPT13)'''<br>
This position aims to improve our understanding of the links between water transit times (see Benettin et al., 2022; https://doi.org/10.1029/2022WR033096) and solute transport in catchments. Possible initial topics for this position include: tracer-based estimation of water transit times in natural landscapes; relationships between water flow and rivers’ water quality; effects of urbanization and climate variability on water transit times. This position involves theoretical/modeling work (40%), data analysis (40%), and fieldwork (water sample collection and analyses for water stable isotopes and major ions, 20%).
'''Position 2: Ecohydrology (apply: https://shorturl.at/tLNPY)'''<br>
This position aims to better understand the interactions between water and vegetation (see Fatichi et al. 2015; https://doi.org/10.1002/wat2.1125), especially using tracers like the water stable isotopes (see Penna et al., 2018; https://doi.org/10.5194/bg-15-6399-2018). The initial topic of this position will be understanding how vegetation (in particular grape vines) may use old/deep water stored in the soil during periods of water stress. Examples of additional possible topics include: monitoring and modeling urban vegetation dynamics; modeling water circulation in forested/agricultural landscapes; quantifying water transit times within a tree, from roots to leaves. This position involves data analysis (50%), and then a flexible ratio of modeling and/or fieldwork.
'''Desired Qualifications'''
* Master’s degree in environmental science/engineering, geochemistry, soil physics or closely related disciplines
* Some experience with applied mathematics (for example, statistics, differential equations)
* Some experience with programming (for example, in Python/R/Matlab)
* Some experience with field work and experimental data collection
* Enthusiasm for environmental research
'''How to apply'''<br>
Applications are only managed through an institutional platform: Position 1 (https://shorturl.at/OPT13), Position 2 (https://shorturl.at/tLNPY). Deadline: 30.10.2023. Applications to both positions are possible, if duly motivated. For any questions, feel free to contact Paolo Benettin (paolo.benettin@unil.ch).
The University of Lausanne is committed to equal opportunities and diversity.
