PhD position on land surface - atmosphere interactions

at the University of Texas at Arlington



The Department Civil Engineering at the University of Texas at Arlington is seeking a motivated graduate student at the PhD level on a project funded by the National Science Foundation. The overarching goal of the proposed research is to advance our understanding and modeling of mass and energy exchange at the land-atmosphere interface over a wide range of scales, and ultimately improve land surface models (LSMs) that are utilized in global climate prediction. The graduate student will be engaged in numerical modeling that dynamically couples mass and energy transfer processes in the soil near the land surface and the atmospheric boundary layer as well as experimental work at both the laboratory and field scale, depending on background/qualifications. Graduate student applicants should have a M.S. degree in Environmental, Civil, Chemical, or Petroleum Engineering or related field (e.g. atmospheric sciences) and have prior experience in numerical modeling.  The successful applicants will be joining a dynamic group headed by Dr. Kate Smits and co-advised by faculty from collaborative partners at the University of Stuttgart and University of Hannover. See our research group website at : https://www.uta.edu/faculty/smitsk  The planned start date is August 2019.  Successful students will receive full financial support including tuition coverage, benefits, and competitive stipend.  Interested applicants should send a CV and a brief statement that addresses your academic background and long term career goals to Kate Smits at  kathleen.smits at uta.edu<mailto:kathleen.smits at uta.edu>
