The Laboratory of Hydrology of Cold Regions (HydroNord) at Université Laval, in partnership with Hydro-Québec, is offering a fully funded master's project in water engineering (hydrology) focused on snow melt in the boreal forest. The research aims to improve understanding and prediction of snow melt processes, which are critical for managing water resources, preventing floods, and mitigating the impacts of climate change in cold regions. The project involves fieldwork, data analytics, and collaboration with a dynamic research team. Students will work with advanced instrumentation and modeling tools to analyze hydrometeorological and nivometric data, contributing to predictive models for snow melt and water flow in Quebec's boreal forests. The project is supervised by Professor Daniel Nadeau (Université Laval) and Dr. Simon Tardif (Hydro-Québec), both experts in hydrology and environmental science. The position offers a stipend of $23,000 CAD/year for two years, with potential for additional teaching assistant contracts. Applicants should have a background in engineering, physics, environmental sciences, or geography, and experience in programming and fieldwork is highly valued. The HydroNord lab is renowned for its research on water and energy exchanges in cold regions, and students will benefit from hands-on experience and access to a wide network of research partners. To apply, candidates should email their CV, motivation letter, transcripts, and references to the supervisors. This is an excellent opportunity for students passionate about hydrology, climate change, and environmental science to advance their careers in a supportive and innovative research environment.
