Master’s Opportunities in Architecture

Forschungszentrum Jülich GmbH offers a master’s thesis at the Institute of Climate and Energy Systems – Jülich System Analysis (ICE-2), in collaboration with TH Köln. The project examines how industrial biotechnologies could contribute to more sustainable and bio-based production routes in the chemical industry. The thesis will investigate economic evaluation methods for industrial biotechnology production processes. The work includes identifying suitable methods, defining their objectives and f...

The Polar Remote Sensing Research Group at McGill University is recruiting at least one MSc student and one PhD student for the Fall 2027 intake. The project focuses on radar remote sensing of Arctic sea ice using multi-frequency synthetic aperture radar (SAR) . Students will investigate Arctic sea-ice conditions through radar-based remote sensing, contributing to polar observation and the interpretation of multi-frequency SAR data. The work is based in Dr. Mallik Mahmud’s lab within the Polar R...

The Smart Building Materials Lab in the Department of Civil Engineering at the University of Calgary is offering fully funded master's and PhD research positions in sustainable building materials. The research focuses on developing and applying low-carbon construction materials, advancing sustainable manufacturing, and supporting circular construction approaches. The positions also involve AI-enabled sensing and materials science, creating an interdisciplinary research environment at the interse...

The Olden Lab in the Department of Forest and Conservation Sciences at the University of British Columbia is offering funded MSc and PhD opportunities in freshwater science in Vancouver, Canada. The positions focus on major freshwater research challenges, including freshwater conservation , climate change, sustainable water management, biodiversity, environmental DNA (eDNA), and machine learning. Students will be able to develop research connected to the conservation and management of freshwater...

This fully funded master’s opportunity is based in the Remote Sensing & AI Lab within the Department of Geography at the University of Victoria in Canada. The research focuses on mapping wildfire severity by combining satellite time-series data with LiDAR forest-structure data. The project offers training and research experience in remote sensing, geospatial analysis, GIS, wildfire science, environmental monitoring, and artificial intelligence. Students will investigate how Earth-observation dat...

This EPA fellowship is based at the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s Office of Chemical Safety and Pollution Prevention at the Andrew W. Breidenbach Environmental Research Center in Cincinnati, Ohio. The project is centered on improving how toxicity of environmental contaminants is assessed for aquatic organisms using alternative testing approaches and high-throughput methods. The research focuses on generating and interpreting toxicity information for small aquatic organisms such as embry...

This opportunity at DEVCOM Army Research Laboratory focuses on developing electromagnetic skins based on metamaterial/metasurface and reconfigurable intelligent surface concepts for radar and communication applications. The research is framed around the Army’s interest in next-generation RF microwave antenna and radar systems that use engineered surfaces to improve performance and functionality. The selected researcher will work on both passive and active metamaterial/metasurface technology and ...

This research opportunity at the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency in Duluth, Minnesota focuses on the aquatic toxicity, uptake, and partitioning of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS). The project examines how broad classes of PFAS behave in aquatic systems, how they accumulate in biota, and how they partition in biphasic systems such as octanol/water. Working with EPA scientists and co-mentors Will Backe and Ian Mundy, the participant will contribute to experimental design, sampling ...

The U.S. Army Engineer Research and Development Center’s Coastal & Hydraulics Laboratory (CHL) offers a research opportunity in advanced engineering and physical science applications for coastal environments. CHL brings together a multi-disciplinary team of scientists, engineers, and support personnel working in internationally known facilities focused on coastal, estuarine, riverine, and watershed systems. The project centers on solving complex water-resource and navigation challenges across hy...
