From CSDMS
1 PHD student on ice in stream at Center for Ecohydraulics Research
University of Idaho, Idaho, United States
Start reviewing process: 8 November 2024


We are looking for 1 energetic and dynamic PhD student interested in investigating the formation and transport of ice in mountain streams starting on January 2025. Ice formation has important implications for river morphology, flooding, safety, infrastructure damage and aquatic habitat. The candidate will join an active, dynamic, multi-agency team which include the University of Idaho, of Saskatchewan, Southern Illinois University and Reclamation. The successful candidate will study the hydromorphological and meteorological conditions that are conducive to the formation and accumulation of frazil ice in the Lower Lemhi river (Idaho) with a set of numerical simulations supported by field data and statistical analysis. The position will be based in Boise at the Center for Ecohydraulics Research and expected starting date at the beginning of January.


Interested students are encouraged to contact me directly (dtonina@uidaho.edu) and include a copy of their CV/transcript and any experience working on ice.
