The newly established Actionable & Computational Terrestrial Hydrology Lab (a.c.t. hydro lab, led by Dr. Yifan Cheng) at the Department of Geology at the State University of New York at Buffalo is excited to invite applications for multiple motivated students pursuing Ph.D. or M.S. degrees in Geological Sciences, specializing in computational hydrology. In a.c.t. hydro lab, we develop novel numerical modeling methods to better assess the resilience of water-related sectors under climate change, with a special interest in cold regions. We collaborate with social scientists, experts from water-related sectors such as power, ecosystems, as well as local communities to enhance the salience, tangibility, and usability of our data and model products. Please feel free to check the research overview and publication pages in our website (https://acthydro.com) for more information.
Basic qualifications
- A Bachelor’s degree in Hydrology, Civil Engineering, Environmental Engineering, Earth and Atmospheric Science, Computer Science, Statistics, or a related field
- Strong analytical and problem-solving skills.
- Experience in coding (e.g., Python, Fortran, C++) and data analysis
- Excellent written and verbal communication skills
Preferred qualifications
- A Master’s degree in related field
- Experience with physically based hydrologic models
- Enthusiasm for actionable science and interdisciplinary research involving experts from hydrology and broad water-related sectors
- Proficiency in programming languages and prior research experience in the relevant fields is highly desirable
