Hydrology

The Terrestrial Hydrology and Ecosystems Intelligence Group at the University of Texas at Austin, led by incoming Assistant Professor Dapeng Feng, is recruiting two fully funded PhD students and postdoctoral researchers to join in Fall 2026. The group is part of the Jackson School of Geosciences and focuses on integrating physical models, artificial intelligence, and large-scale Earth observations to advance understanding of the terrestrial water cycle and its interactions with climate and ecosystems. The PhD positions are fully funded for five years, including stipend and tuition. Applicants should have a strong background in hydrology, environmental science, earth science, or related disciplines, and experience with modeling, AI, or big data is highly desirable. The group offers a collaborative research environment at a leading US institution. Interested candidates should review the details in the post and prepare to apply for Fall 2026. Formal applications should be submitted through the University of Texas at Austin's graduate admissions portal. Postdoctoral opportunities are also available, with details to be provided by the group.
