PhD Opportunity
Position Description: Two PhD student positions are available in the Garcia Lab at the School of Sustainable Engineering and the Built Environment (SSEBE)
at Arizona State University (ASU) beginning in Spring 2018. Research
topics include: hydrological variability and change, sustainable water
management, coupled (socio-hydrological or socio-ecological-technical)
systems analysis, and resilient infrastructure systems.
A
M.S. degree in hydrology, water resources, or civil engineering and/or
work experience in the field are preferred. The position will involve
modeling, programming, statistical analysis, and collaboration with
social scientists, and prior experience is desirable. The research
assistantships come with a stipend, full tuition, and health
insurance. Students from groups underrepresented in engineering are
particularly encouraged to apply. Admission requirements and procedures
are available at http://ssebe.engineering.asu. edu/prospective-students/ gradstudies.html. However, interested students should contact Dr. Garcia atM.Garcia@asu.edu for more information. In your email please include your CV, research interests, and motivation for the position.
The
graduate program in SSEBE at ASU emphasizes innovative and
interdisciplinary approaches to address the challenges of sustainability
and resilience of critical infrastructure systems. SSEBE offers
students a broad range of classes on sustainable and hydrosystems
engineering. The position is at ASU’s main campus in Tempe, AZ, a
vibrant city close to Phoenix, AZ and accessible via light rail. For the
past two years, ASU has been ranked the most innovative school in the
nation by U.S. News & World Report.
