PhD Position in Snow Hydrology and Forest Modeling

A PhD position is available in snow hydrology at the Cold Regions Hydrology Laboratory, Laval University, Quebec City, Canada, in collaboration with Dr. Giulia Mazzotti from INRAE-Grenoble, France. The research focuses on improving the representation of snow in forests within Canadian models, combining fieldwork, modeling, and a short research stay in Grenoble. This opportunity is ideal for students passionate about snow, forests, and hydrology, and offers a unique international collaboration between Canadian and French institutions. The project will involve hands-on fieldwork in cold regions, advanced modeling of snow-forest interactions, and the opportunity to work with leading experts in environmental science and hydrology. The successful candidate will join the HydroNord lab at Laval University and benefit from a dynamic research environment. A short research stay in Grenoble, France, is also part of the program, providing valuable international experience. Applicants should have a strong background in environmental science, hydrology, earth science, or related fields. Experience with fieldwork, modeling, and data analysis is preferred.
