About this position

The AgroHydrology Research Lab at Mississippi State University is seeking applications for two PhD and one MSc positions starting in Summer or Fall 2026. The lab focuses on strategies to promote soil and water conservation, maximize agricultural productivity, and enhance sustainability and ecosystem services. Research areas include watershed scale assessment of regenerative agricultural practices on downstream water quality, linking soil property variations to management practices, and modeling the impacts of regenerative agriculture on water quality. Another focus is the development of irrigation decision support systems, including coupling modeling frameworks, integrating remote sensing and sensor networks, and developing decision logic for furrow irrigation management.

Applicants should have a background in Agricultural Engineering, Civil Engineering, Hydrology, Soil and Plant Science, or closely related disciplines. International applicants must provide a valid TOEFL score of 79 iBT or an IELTS score of 6.5. Demonstrated expertise in hydrologic, water quality, crop, or ecosystem modeling is required, as well as proficiency in programming languages such as R, Python, or MATLAB. The positions are offered as Graduate Research Assistantships, but specific funding details are not provided in the announcement.

To apply, candidates should fill out the application form linked in the announcement and prepare all necessary documents. The application window is open for Summer or Fall 2026 entry. For more information, applicants are encouraged to visit the lab and university websites. This opportunity is ideal for students interested in agrohydrology, environmental science, water quality, and advanced modeling techniques in agricultural systems.
