Antarpreet Jutla

Professor Antarpreet Jutla at the University of Florida is seeking highly motivated doctoral students to join a dynamic research team. The group focuses on leveraging satellite technologies and machine learning to analyze water systems and their connections to climate-sensitive pathogens. This interdisciplinary research sits at the intersection of environmental science, data analytics, and public health, addressing critical global challenges related to climate change and disease dynamics. Ideal candidates will have a background in Environmental Science and Engineering, Data Science, Hydrology, or Water Resources. The team welcomes applicants with an MS degree in these or related fields, and exceptionally strong BS degree holders will also be considered. The research aims to uncover patterns in water systems using innovative technologies, contributing to the understanding of how environmental factors influence public health. Students will have the opportunity to work on cutting-edge projects that integrate satellite data, machine learning, and environmental modeling. The University of Florida provides a collaborative environment with access to state-of-the-art resources and mentorship from leading experts in the field. This position is ideal for those passionate about interdisciplinary research and eager to make a global impact through science and technology. To apply, interested candidates should send an email to [email protected], including their CV and a statement of interest highlighting relevant experience and motivation for joining the team.

Join the GeoHealth and Hydrology Lab at the University of Florida for a PhD opening in interdisciplinary research at the intersection of hydrology , remote sensing , environmental science , public health , and climate-health studies. The lab investigates remote sensing of hydrological processes and how surface and subsurface water dynamics relate to climate-sensitive pathogens and diseases. Research themes include hydrological dynamics, climate–hydrology–disease linkages, pathogen transmission in climate-sensitive environments, and data-driven approaches to environmental health and resilience. This opportunity is a strong fit for students with backgrounds in engineering, hydrology, environmental science, or geosciences. Interest in modeling, satellite data, advanced analytics, and interdisciplinary problem-solving is especially relevant. Strong analytical and programming skills are preferred, though not required. Funding opportunities are available for qualified graduate applicants, but the post does not specify exact stipend, tuition, or duration details. To apply, email your CV/resume and a brief statement of interest outlining your background and research goals to the professor listed in the post. Location: Gainesville, Florida, United States.
