About this position

The GATOR Lab at the University of Florida is potentially recruiting a funded PhD student for Fall 2027. This four-year research assistantship is intended for a motivated researcher who wants to develop as a geospatial scientist and contribute to the growth of the lab.

The main research directions include GeoAI and scalable analytics, including next-generation GeoAI, large language models for geospatial reasoning, governed agentic AI, and cloud-native geocomputation. The lab is also interested in Discrete Global Grid Systems (DGGS), with research involving spatial indexing, multi-resolution analysis, and planetary-scale data integration. Well-motivated proposals aligned with the lab's core pillars may also be considered.

The position is fully funded for four years and includes a stipend, tuition waiver, and health insurance. Students will have access to dedicated laboratory GPU workstations and HiPerGator, described as the most powerful AI supercomputer in U.S. academia.

The primary location is the UF/IFAS Fort Lauderdale Research and Education Center in the Miami metropolitan area. Students may have the option to spend Year 1 in Gainesville for coursework. Successful applicants should demonstrate relevant technical preparation, strong research alignment, intellectual curiosity, and a willingness to critically evaluate computational tools. Fit with the lab's culture and long-term research plans is also emphasized.

The priority deadline is December 31, 2026, and applications will be reviewed on a rolling basis. Prospective applicants should explore the lab's work and full details before reaching out.
