We are advertising a funded PhD in Civil or Environmental Engineering at North Carolina State University (Department of Civil, Construction, and Environmental Engineering) for 2023, with a preferred August start date. The student will join the https://chaz.wordpress.ncsu.edu/ (led by Dr. Katherine Anarde) within the larger Coastal Engineering Team at NCSU (Drs. Elizabeth Sciaudone, Casey Dietrich, and Jorge San Juan).
The PhD will focus on multi-decadal barrier island and habitat evolution. Specific research interests include classification and modeling of habitat (land cover) changes within a National Wildlife Refuge, as well as questions surrounding how barrier evolution is influenced by human management activities over decade to century timescales.
The ideal candidate will have interest in:
- Geospatial analysis
- Remote sensing and shoreline change
- Programming (Python, Matlab)
- Coastal modeling (exploratory or process-based)
Please contact Dr. Katherine Anarde (mailto:kanarde@ncsu.edu) and/or Dr. Elizabeth Sciaudone (mailto:ejsciaud@ncsu.edu) with any questions about this PhD opportunity. To receive full consideration for graduate studies, you must apply for admission (https://www.ccee.ncsu.edu/admission/).
