PhD Opportunities in Hydrology in Turkey

Charles University in Prague is offering a PhD research opportunity in hydrology and machine learning focused on the predictability of floods. The project investigates how much hydrological information is needed to predict floods reliably. The PhD researcher will examine how hydrological information, flood-generating processes, and changing climatic and environmental conditions influence flood predictability. A central aim is to determine whether relationships identified through the research can...

Ali Ameli is recruiting a fully funded PhD student to join his group at The University of British Columbia in Vancouver, Canada, beginning in September 2027. The doctoral project investigates global watershed hydrologic function —how watersheds collect, store, and release water, and how these functions vary across landscapes and over time. The student will examine global patterns in hydrologic function across forested, mountainous, wetland, agricultural, and urban watersheds. The research combin...

Ali Ameli is recruiting a fully funded PhD student to join his group at the University of British Columbia in Vancouver, Canada, beginning in September 2027. The doctoral project investigates global watershed hydrologic function : how watersheds collect, store, and release water, and how these functions vary across landscapes and through time. The student will examine global patterns in hydrologic function across forested, mountainous, wetland, agricultural, and urban watersheds. The research co...

[Funded through the CENTA3 DLA by the Natural Environment Research Council (NERC); funding covers an annual stipend, tuition fees at home-fee level, and a Research Training Support Grant. International students are eligible for up to 30% of the cohort, but funding does not cover additional moving or residing costs in the UK.] This PhD studentship investigates how biodiversity protection can be embedded into battery supply chains, with a particular focus on lithium and cobalt extraction in ecolog...

This PhD project is part of the University of Cologne’s interdisciplinary initiative “The Rhine Floodplain – a Biogeochemically Coupled System under Stress” , which examines how altered hydrology reshapes floodplain sediment dynamics, biodiversity, food webs, microbial processes, and greenhouse gas emissions. The advertised doctorate focuses on soil microbial nutrient stoichiometry and soil-atmosphere exchange in river floodplains. The successful candidate will investigate how nutrient constrain...

The University of Cologne’s Institute of Geography is offering an interdisciplinary PhD project on the Rhine floodplain as a biogeochemically coupled system under stress. The project examines how altered hydrology shapes floodplain sediment dynamics and the wider ecosystem response, linking physical and geochemical processes with biodiversity, food webs, microbial activity, and greenhouse gas emissions. The doctoral researcher will contribute to a collaborative project with other PhD students an...

This PhD position in VA-teknik at Luleå University of Technology is part of a research environment focused on urban water systems, especially stormwater and wastewater. The project aims to improve the maintenance of urban stormwater facilities such as gullies and retention ponds by developing a data-driven understanding of sediment accumulation and facility performance. The doctoral researcher will work with long-term monitoring data collected using high-resolution sensors, capturing sediment dy...

Urban Water Engineering at Luleå University of Technology is offering a PhD position focused on making urban drainage maintenance more data-driven and environmentally responsible. The project sits within the Urban Water Engineering research group in the Department of Civil, Environmental and Natural resources engineering, and combines experimental work with theoretical analysis in an international research environment. The doctoral research examines how smart monitoring and predictive modelling ...

Concordia University in Canada is seeking two highly motivated PhD students to advance research on Scan-to-BIM-to-Digital Twin and uncertainty-aware methods for climate-resilient infrastructure systems. Under the supervision of Dr. Chih-Shen (Stephen) Cheng , students will work at the intersection of sensing, artificial intelligence, flood modeling, and uncertainty quantification. The research will support the assessment of flood impacts on buildings and power infrastructure and help facilitate ...
