From CSDMS
One Ph.D. and one Postdoc position in large-scale water table modelling at the Department of Earth and Environmental Sciences, University of Illinois Chicago
University of Illinois Chicago, Illinois, United States
Start reviewing process: 30 September 2022


I am seeking one Ph.D. student and one postdoc to join my lab in the Department of Earth and Environmental Sciences at the University of Illinois Chicago (UIC).


The focus of our work will be on the water table in the past, present, and future. This will include understanding long-term change in the water table; changes in water storage between different reservoirs (lakes, groundwater, ice, and the ocean); and the interactions between landscape morphology and water storage. You can learn more about my past and current research here.

There will be a focus on computer modelling and coding experience would be an advantage. Possible projects will include regional or global studies using the Water Table Model and/or Fill-Spill-Merge to assess changing water storage. There may also be opportunities for some field work. I would be happy to discuss potential projects in more detail, including if you have ideas for your graduate/postdoc research.

The expected starting date for the Ph.D. would be Fall (August) 2023. The starting date for the postdoc is flexible within the year 2023.

If you are interested in or have questions about either position, please contact me (email: kerryc@ldeo.columbia.edu).
