PhD Position in Civil and Environmental Engineering at Colorado State University

We (Dr. Antonio Meira and Dr. Ryan Morrison) are seeking a motivated PhD candidate to join an exciting USFS-sponsored research project in the Colorado Rocky Mountains in the Spring of 2025. This project aims to explore the hydrologic and hydraulic impacts of process-based restoration on headwater streams. We aim to understand the effects of common process-based restoration techniques on subsurface flow paths, groundwater levels, and floodplain connectivity. The successful candidate will work on-site, utilizing advanced geophysical methods, including seismic refraction and electrical resitivity tomography (ERT) surveys, to monitor changes before and after implementation. Knowledge of geophysical methods and shallow subsurface hydrology is essential. Experience with modeling tools like Modflow or Parflow might be advantageous. This research offers a unique opportunity to contribute to innovative floodplain management strategies with significant ecological benefits.

Required qualifications are:
(1) MS (for PhD position at CSU) in Civil and Environmental Engineering or related discipline.
(2) Clear research interest in subsurface hydrology, floodplain services, and natural water resources.
(3) Proficiency in oral and written English communication.

Preferred qualifications for this position are:
(1) Experience with coding in R, Python, Matlab, or another programming language.
(2) Experience with hydrologic field data collection.
(3) Experience with Geophysical methods such as seismic refraction and ERT.
(4) Experience with Parflow, or Modflow.
(5) Research experience in water resources science or engineering.
(6) Demonstrated ability to work effectively in teams.
(7) Demonstrated ability to write and publish original research.
(8) Interest in integrating equity into graduate research

If interested, contact Prof. Antonio Meira (ameira@colostate.edu) with the following materials as a single PDF attachment and email subject line “Application for Posted PhD Position”:

(1) A 1–2-page cover letter with your interest in the position and research topics, and how you meet the required and preferred qualifications, and
(2) A current resume or CV.

Applications will be accepted until September 15th.You may simultaneously or soon afterwards apply to CSU. Information about applying to the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at Colorado State University can be found here: https://www.engr.colostate.edu/ce/graduate-application-information/.

My lab (at Clemson University) has openings for three PhD students, as well as one postdoc fellow (experienced researchers can also be considered for the rank of Research Assistant Professor) to work on several topics: (1) energy management and environmental (lighting and climate) control in solar powered greenhouse; (2) heterogeneous multi-agent systems with applications in field-based and controlled environments agriculture; and (3) learning-based predictive controls. Interested applicants are invited to send their complete CV, a copy of all publications (if any), and a copy of BS and/or MS trannoscripts (all in a single PDF) to javadm@clemson.edu. Anticipated start date will be as early as January 2025.

MS/Ph.D. Position in Coastal Plant Ecology at the University of Louisiana at Lafayette

The Zerebecki Coastal Plant Ecology Lab (https://lnkd.in/gTCeAUKU) at the University of Louisiana at Lafayette invites applications for a PhD or MS position starting in Spring 2025.

Research in the lab focuses on: 1) the ecological effects of genetic diversity within coastal and wetland foundation plant species; 2) eco-evolutionary feedbacks in coastal marshes; and 3) the impacts and responses of wetlands to changing environmental conditions. Current lab projects are exploring these questions in salt marsh and mangrove habitats and within coastal restoration projects. We use a variety of techniques in our work, including field surveys, field and greenhouse experiments, and molecular analyses, to address ecological and evolutionary questions.


The desired candidate will be interested in coastal plant ecology. They will lead the development of a project exploring ecological questions within coastal salt marshes in alignment with their own interests. The student will have opportunities to conduct experiments in the lab, greenhouse, and field setting, working with a fun, and supportive lab group.

Candidates with experience conducting fieldwork in aquatic and wetland ecosystems, or with standard molecular assays (e.g., DNA extractions, and PCR), possessing strong quantitative and writing skills, ability to work collaboratively and independently and with a passion for ecology are particularly encouraged to apply.

A BS (and preferably a MS if interested in pursing a PhD) in the field of ecology, ecology & evolution, botany, marine biology, environmental science, biology or other related field of study is required.

The graduate student will be supported with a teaching and/or research assistantship consisting of a $22,000 USD per academic year (10-month) stipend and a tuition waiver. Note this minimum stipend is a starting point: additional top-up is possible contingent on scholarships and additional funds in the lab.

Interested candidates, please email (1) a statement of interest describing what area(s) of research you are most interested in exploring and any previous experience and skills related to those interests; (2) CV/resume and 3) contact information for 2 professional references to Dr. Robyn Zerebecki (robyn.zerebecki@louisiana.edu).

Candidates will be contacted for further discussion (including formal application). Review of applications will begin immediately and the position will remain open until filled. Individuals from historically underrepresented groups in STEM are encouraged to apply.
