We are seeking a motivated PhD student to join our research group at the University of Toronto, starting in January 2026. This fully funded position will focus on advancing flood risk assessment and mitigation strategies for the Greater Toronto Area, combining hydrological and hydraulic modelling with risk-based planning to support resilient urban infrastructure.
Applicants should hold both a Bachelor’s and a Master’s degree in Water Resources Engineering, Civil Engineering, Environmental Engineering, or a closely related discipline. A strong background in hydrological and hydraulic modelling is essential, and experience with Python programming and GIS tools will be considered an asset.
The position is based in the Department of Civil & Mineral Engineering and offers a competitive funding package of CAD 40,000 per year, which includes tuition fees.
To be eligible, applicants must:
- Hold undergraduate and master’s degrees with GPA averages of at least B+ (3.3/4.0 or 78%).
- For International degrees, use the International Degree Equivalencies Tool to find grade equivalencies (https://www.sgs.utoronto.ca/future-students/admission-application-requirements/international-credentials-equivalencies/).
- Meet the English Language Proficiency Requirements of the department (https://civmin.utoronto.ca/home/admissions/admission-requirements/).
