PhD Position in Ecohydraulics and River Systems Modeling Colorado State University in United States

The White Water Research Group at Colorado State University, led by Dr. Daniel White, is recruiting a PhD student to join their research team in ecohydraulics, with a start date in summer or fall 2026. The group focuses on the interaction of physical and biological processes in river systems, aiming to advance the science of river hydraulics and geomorphology while informing river corridor management for improved ecosystem health and community benefits.

The PhD position will center on ecohydraulic processes in river systems, involving 2D hydraulic modeling, field data collection in remote settings, and interdisciplinary research. The research group employs a variety of methods, including field studies, laboratory experiments, and computational modeling simulations, to study river hydraulics and geomorphology.

Applicants should have a Master of Science degree in Civil and Environmental Engineering or a closely related field and be enthusiastic about combining modeling, fieldwork, and interdisciplinary approaches. The position is ideal for candidates interested in ecohydraulics, river systems, hydraulic modeling, and environmental science. No specific funding details are provided in the announcement.

Interested candidates are encouraged to contact Dr. Daniel White for more information or to discuss the opportunity, especially if attending the AGU conference. For further details about the research group and its activities, visit the White Water Research Group website.
