I am currently recruiting creative graduate students interested in coastal hydrodynamics and hydrology to join my research group at Louisiana State University (Department of Oceanography and Coastal Sciences: http://www.lsu.edu/cce/graduate/docs/index.php). I have two funded positions (stipend + tuition): a PhD assistantship (up to 5 years of funding) and an MS assistantship (2 years of funding). Both positions will be funded by NSF. Applications will be accepted right away and the positions will remain open until filled with anticipated start dates of Fall 2022 (Spring 2023 may be okay). The project addresses an urgent need in hydrology to understand how hydrological process evolve in non-stationary ecosystems. To do this, we will investigate how water transport patterns and timescales evolve as a function of long-term morphological change and short-term hydrodynamic perturbations in river deltas. Field work, numerical modeling, and network analysis/graph theory will primarily be used to solve these problems and I am open to fun, creative approaches driven by students.
My group works to understand how water transport and hydraulic connectivity affect ecology (algal blooms, nutrients, etc.) and morphological development (e.g., deltaic growth) in coastal environments. We use field work and numerical modeling in our research projects. We also build cool hydraulics experiments to share with students at Baton Rouge Schools, which is super fun. Experience with field work, programming (Matlab or other languages), or numerical modeling is a plus. Applicants from underrepresented groups in STEM are encouraged to apply in addition to students with backgrounds in non-oceanographic fields such (e.g., engineering, geosciences, physics, mathematics, etc.). All applicants will receive consideration without regard to race, color, national origin, gender, religion, age, identity, or disability. I’m committed to fostering an inclusive environment within my research group and at LSU. Prospective students should know that LSU has mandatory fees, but I am committed to stipends that partially offset the additional fees to maintain a competitive stipend.
For more information please visit my website (https://matthewhiatt.wixsite.com/coastalhydrolsu) and I encourage prospective students to contact me at mhiatt1@lsu.edu with their CV and a short description of background/interest.

I am currently recruiting one PhD student and one MSc student to join an exciting research project on the impacts of wildfires on water resources in boreal watersheds of the Canadian Shield. This interdisciplinary project integrates hydrological modeling, remote sensing, machine learning, and geochemical analyses to better understand how wildfire disturbances affect water quantity and quality over space and time.
The positions are based within the Groundwater Research Group (GRES) at the Institut de recherche en mines et en environnement (IRME), Université du Québec en Abitibi-Témiscamingue (UQAT), and are funded by a newly awarded NSERC Discovery Grant. Students will work in close collaboration with an interdisciplinary team and benefit from fieldwork opportunities and professional development.
Key research themes include:
Remote sensing and machine learning for post-wildfire flood modeling
Groundwater recharge modeling in burned landscapes
Field sampling and hybrid deep learning–numerical modeling of nutrient and contaminant transport
Start dates are flexible (Fall 2025, Winter 2026, or Summer 2026), depending on admission timelines.
To apply, please contact me at rahim.barzegar@uqat.ca. Applications should include a brief statement of interest (max 1 page), a CV, and academic transcripts. Review of applications will continue until the positions are filled.
Best regards,<br>

I am currently recruiting two graduate students to study environmental transport processes at Boise State University (BSU). Potential research topics include (but are not limited to):
# Investigating feedbacks between mass transport, microbial growth, and reactions in natural and engineered hydrologic systems. The student will have the opportunity to design and execute small-scale experiments (e.g., microfluidics, sediment column experiments) and leverage the capabilities within BSU’s Biomolecular Research Center (https://www.boisestate.edu/brc/).
# Modeling (numerical and analytical) of reactive transport processes in natural hydrologic systems and engineered water systems, at scales ranging from porewaters to river networks. This work aims to build predictive, physically based models that capture the spatial and temporal variability inherent to these systems.
Students must have a bachelor's or master's degree in engineering, physics, earth sciences, or a related degree with relevant quantitative coursework. Those with prior experience performing small-scale experiments (e.g., columns, microfluidics, biofilm growth), coding experience (e.g., Python, Matlab), and/or a strong interest in mathematical modeling are encouraged to apply. Individuals interested in fieldwork will have the opportunity to interface with researchers in the BSU’s Department of Geosciences. I am committed to fostering a diverse, equitable, and inclusive research group whose trajectory is shaped by the unique backgrounds of its members. Click here (https://www.boisestate.edu/admissions/nextsteps/diversity/) for resources that support Boise State University's commitment to a diverse and inclusive on-campus culture.See my webpage for more information (https://kevinrroche.weebly.com/).
'''Please email me (kevinroche@boisestate.edu) directly before applying and include both a CV and a brief (max 1 page) statement of research interests.''' Students will be members of the Department of Civil Engineering and will join an interdisciplinary Ph.D. program that best suits their skills and interests. The start date is flexible, with the option of beginning Fall 2020, Spring 2021, or Fall 2021. To accommodate the changing economic climate, the BSU College of Engineering has extended the application deadline to the end of May (Fall 2020 start) and has waived the application fee.
Boise State University (https://www.boisestate.edu/) sits along the Boise River Greenbelt in the heart of Idaho’s rapidly growing capital city. A unique blend of city amenities and outdoor access – including 180+ miles of nearby trails – make it one of the highest rated cities (https://realestate.usnews.com/places/idaho/boise) in the U.S. for livability.
