MS Position in Hydrological & Biogeochemical Modeling at Auburn University

Auburn University is offering a fully funded MS position in Hydrological & Biogeochemical Modeling, starting May 2026, under the supervision of Dr. Nitin Singh (Assistant Professor of Environmental Systems). The research focus includes understanding hydrological and biogeochemical processes at regional scales, working with large environmental datasets, applying hydrological and water quality models, and using Bayesian estimation methods. The position is ideal for students interested in hydrology, biogeochemistry, and environmental modeling. Applicants should have a BS in hydrology, biogeochemistry, environmental science, or a related field, with experience in hydrological modeling and skills in Python, R, or MATLAB. The lab integrates empirical observations and large datasets with process-based and statistical models to study water quality and hydrological processes from watersheds to continental scales. The Singh Environmental Systems Lab is dedicated to advancing the understanding of ecosystems in response to climate change and disturbances, with projects ranging from pristine forests to managed landscapes. The position offers a competitive stipend, tuition coverage, and health insurance. Interested students should prepare a single PDF titled 'Graduate Student Application' including a CV, a 1-page cover letter describing fit and interest, and GRE and TOEFL scores, and email it to Dr. Nitin Singh at [email protected]. The application deadline for Summer 2026 is approaching, so early applications are encouraged.
