Two Fully Funded Ph.D. Positions in Hydroinformatics at Clemson University
Clemson University, South Carolina, United States
Apply before: 15 October 2025


The Clemson Hydroinformatics Lab (http://hydro-informatics-lab.com/) invites applications for two fully NSF- funded Ph.D. positions focusing on advanced informatics and C++ software development for water resources. Successful candidates will be admitted to the Clemson Agricultural Systems Management program.


Overview: Two doctoral candidates will be recruited to develop advanced C++ software targeting complex challenges in water system modeling. The students will engage in computationally intensive work to design high-fidelity, optimized workflows that seamlessly integrate traditional models with cutting-edge deep learning techniques. The candidates will also work on synchronizing execution and data workflow, setting up a control loop in C++ software to provide inputs, trigger model runs, retrieve outputs, and iterate simulation.

Eligibility Requirements: Applicants must hold a master’s degree in civil engineering (water resources), environmental engineering, computer science, or related fields. Proficiency in C++, Python, and Java is required.


Application Instructions
Submit a single PDF containing all materials to hydroinformatics@clemson.edu. A minimum GPA of 3.6 (on a 4.0 scale) and GRE scores are mandatory.

Include:

  • Contact information and personal details
  • Highest degree earned
  • Language proficiency
  • GPA, GRE, and TOEFL scores
  • Contact details for 2–3 references
  • Cover letter detailing research background, motivation, expected benefits, and career goals
  • Curriculum vitae outlining degrees, coursework, work experience, and projects
  • Unofficial transcript


Deadline:
Applications are due by October 15, 2025, 5:00 PM EDT. Positions will remain open until they are filled.

Applicants are advised to verify their country of origin’s eligibility for U.S. visa issuance and travel in accordance with current U.S. immigration policies and regulations. Women and underrepresented minorities are strongly encouraged to apply.


Best to you.
