UCLA Civil and Environmental Engineering Graduate Student Announcements

Stanford University is looking for a third/fourth-year or Masters student to participate as a Student Research Assistant in Professor Luthy and Professor Sedlak's research groups. Their research is mainly focused on the development of passive systems for the treatment of chemicals in urban water runoffs, with the long-term goal of developing cost-effective, safe, and sustainable systems to manage water resources. This is a joint project between Stanford University, University of California at Berkeley, and the City of Los Angeles. The student will conduct meaningful research for 12 weeks in the water chemistry discipline under the guidance of a post-doc or lab staff at the field site. Please apply by March 5, 2019. The application requires a personal statement that includes your educational background, professional goals, and why you are interested in joining their research groups (maximum length 1/2 page).  For questions and more information, please contact Dr. Marc Teixido...

A PhD student position is available in the Garcia Lab at the School of Sustainable Engineering and the Built Environment (SSEBE) at Arizona State University (ASU) beginning in Fall 2019. Research topics include: impacts of hydrological variability and change on infrastructure performance, sustainable water management, and coupled (socio-hydrological or socio-technical) systems analysis. A M.S. degree in hydrology, water resources, or civil engineering or work experience in the field are preferred. The position will involve modeling, programming, statistical analysis, and collaboration with social scientists, and prior experience and a willingness to learn new things are both 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 here. Prior to applying, interested students should contact Dr. Garcia at M...

The Interconnected and Integrated Bioelectronics Lab (I²BL) is currently seeking outstanding and motivated undergraduate/graduate students who are interested in biology, biochemistry, clinical trial, and medical device fabrication. See the expanded version of this post for their flyer.

The UCLA Library is coordinating a series of  free  workshops designed to meet the needs of advanced researchers across the campus. During Winter Quarter we will offer workshops on topics such as: Introduction to R, Research Data Management, GIS, Presentation Software, etc.  In addition, as part of this series, some graduate students have offered to present research projects that utilize tools and methods they have found useful.   We are asking for your help in suggesting topics for workshops that you would make plans to attend. UCLA librarians are very much interested in ways the library can build and sustain communities of practice around research tools, methods and workflows. We designed this quick (5 minute)  survey  to gather your feedback.  The information you provide will help guide our choices of workshop topics and timing. If you have any questions, you may contact me: zoe@l...

Dear Colleagues, I am delighted to announce UCLA’s third annual Grad Slam . With support from the Office of the Chancellor, Graduate Students Association and Student Fee Advisory Committee, the Graduate Division will host this campus-wide competition that showcases and awards prizes for the best 3-minute research presentations by graduate students. The competition aims to strengthen their presentation and networking skills, as well as their ability to simplify and articulate their research concisely and effectively to a non-specialist audience. Grad Slam will take place April 11 - 25 with the campus winner advancing to a UC-wide competition that will be held in San Francisco on May 4, 2017. The UCLA competition will be comprised of preliminary and semi-final rounds, culminating in a final competition and celebratory reception on April 25, 2017. First, second and third place winners will receive fellowships in the amounts of $3,000, $2,000 and $1,000 respectively. Th...
