The Global Rivers Group at Texas A&M University is seeking a fully funded PhD student to start Fall 2022. The position is supported through an NSF CAREER Award (http://www.nsf.gov/awardsearch/showAward?AWD_ID=2145628). Tuition, student fees, and a stipend are all funded for 5 years, contingent on good progress. The student will work on a project focused on improving representations of fluvial hydrography and hydrology across scales. This project involves summer fieldwork in mountainous regions in Colorado and Costa Rica. The student will receive training in geospatial analysis, remote sensing data processing, hydrologic modeling, and science communication. This position also includes community engagement and undergraduate student mentorship responsibilities.

Ideal candidates for this position are motivated, organized, possess excellent communication skills (written and oral), and are capable of leading physically demanding fieldwork in steep, mountainous areas. Strong logic/programming skills are also highly valued. The Global Rivers Group maintains a productive, diverse and inclusive working environment, and we strongly encourage individuals from under-represented groups to apply.

Review of applications will begin on February 1st, 2022.

The application involves the submission of a personal statement, 3 letters of reference, and unofficial undergraduate/graduate transcripts. The GRE exam is no longer required (or accepted) to apply. If you plan on submitting an application, please send an email to Dr. George Allen at geoallen@tamu.edu letting him know that you plan to apply. He would also be happy to answer any questions.
