The Department of Earth, Environmental and Resource Sciences (DEERS) at the University of Texas El Paso (UTEP), invites applications for 1 position at the Masters level research assistantships on the broad areas of hydrology and fluvial geomorphology observations and modeling. We seek dedicated and motivated students holding Bachelors of Science degrees in civil or electrical engineering, earth science, geology, geography, computer science, data analytics or a related physical science field. The student will work under the supervision of Prof. Alvarez (alvarez@utep.edu). Students interested in the following fields are encouraged to apply: autonomous systems (aerial and aquatic), machine learning, robotics, water resources, fluvial geomorphology, numerical modeling. The selected student will be engaged in one of the following research projects: 1) Use of autonomous systems (unmanned aerial systems and autonomous boats) for innovations in process-based robot learning complemented with real-time adaptive sampling for path planning and rapid surveying of hydrosystems. 2) Development, testing, improvement and application of distributed, parallelized, physically based modeling of flow, sediment and bed evolution at the scale of a large river reach and at the scale of a laboratory flume.
Review of applications will start immediately, and successful applicants may start in Fall 2021. Applications will be reviewed on a rolling basis until suitable candidates are found. Interested candidates should email their CV and unofficial transcripts to Prof. Alvarez (alvarez@utep.edu).
