About this position

Danny White, Assistant Professor at Colorado State University, is recruiting a PhD student for the White Water Research Group.

The project focuses on aquatic habitat in mountain and desert river systems, combining field-based measurements of river hydraulics with 2D hydrodynamic modeling to quantify physical habitat characteristics across a range of flows.

Fieldwork is a major part of the position and may include remote and backcountry river environments, wading, rafting, and collecting hydraulic and geomorphic data. This opportunity is well suited to students interested in river processes, geomorphology, aquatic ecosystems, and numerical modeling.

Preferred background: a master's degree in civil engineering, environmental engineering, water resources, geomorphology, or a related field; experience conducting fieldwork in challenging settings; experience with 2D hydrodynamic modeling; and evidence of strong research skills and scientific independence.

How to apply: contact Danny White by email with a short summary of your background, research interests, and fit for the position. No deadline was stated in the post.

More information about the research group is available via the linked page.

What's required

Applicants should have a master's degree in civil engineering, environmental engineering, water resources, geomorphology, or a related field. Preferred experience includes fieldwork in remote or backcountry settings, working in and around rivers from rafts or other boats, 2D hydrodynamic modeling, and a strong interest in aquatic ecosystems, river processes, hydraulics, geomorphology, and flow-habitat interactions. The ideal candidate should demonstrate strong research skills and scientific independence.

How to apply

Email Danny White with a brief description of your background, research interests, and how your experience aligns with the position. Share the post with anyone who may be a good fit.
