About this position
I am seeking a highly motivated PhD student to join the Mountain Ice & Water Lab at the University of Lethbridge (Canada), starting Fall 2026, to work on glacier melt–groundwater interactions in alpine environments. This project combines fieldwork at Peyto Glacier with advanced hydrological and groundwater modelling to understand how meltwater contributes to subsurface storage and supports mountain streamflow under climate change.
Ideal for someone interested in:
- Mountain field hydrology
- Cryosphere–groundwater connectivity
- Hydrological or groundwater modelling
- Climate change impacts on water availability
Funding is secured for 4 years, with opportunities for scientific publication, field leadership, and collaboration across Canadian and international research networks.
Prospective candidates are encouraged to get in touch by mid-April 2026 to discuss the opportunity ahead of the formal May 15 university application deadline.
Funding details
Full funding including tuition fees and living expenses is available for this position. The scholarship covers all educational costs and provides a monthly stipend.
How to apply
Please submit your application including a cover letter, CV, academic transcripts, and contact information for two references. Applications should be sent via the online portal before the deadline.
