WESA is currently seeking one PhD student and one MS student. The associated research projects aim to better understand the resilience of urban water systems and the sustainability of water resources management with the consideration of compound hydrologic extremes and coastal environmental changes, using a combination of multi-scale modeling, geospatial analysis, and field monitoring. Within this scope, the specific research topics for each position will be discussed and determined.
Required qualification for the PhD position:
- MS degree in civil and environmental engineering, computer science, environmental science, or a related field.
Required qualification for the MS position:
- BS degree in civil and environmental engineering, mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, or a related engineering field.
Preferred qualifications for both positions (any of the following topics):
- Urban water system modeling
- Watershed hydrologic modeling
- Nonpoint source pollution and stormwater management
- Green infrastructure and low-impact development
- Hydrologic and environmental sensors
- Artificial intelligence
- Agent-based modeling
