Subject: Ph.D. Position in Nevada Mountain Ecohydrology Lab<br>
<br>
The Nevada Mountain Ecohydrology Lab in the Natural Resources and Environ=<br>
mental Science=20<br>
Department at the University of Nevada, Reno is expecting to hire a quali=<br>
fied Ph.D. student to start in=20<br>
Fall of 2016. Research in the lab group focuses on improving process-base=<br>
d understanding of snow-<br>
dominated watershed hydrology to advance resource management and model pr=<br>
edictions. Projects=20<br>
typically integrate field and remote sensing observations with ecohydrolo=<br>
gical models. The specific=20<br>
research project has flexibility, but will investigate snow hydrology an=<br>
d water partitioning in the Great=20<br>
Basin and the larger Western U.S.=20=20<br>
<br>
Students capable of working independently with a quantitative background =<br>
are encouraged to apply.=20<br>
Training in physical hydrology, engineering, remote sensing, or environme=<br>
ntal science is appropriate.=20<br>
Computer programming (e.g. Matlab, R, Python, etc.) and/or remote sensing=<br>
and GIS experience is=20<br>
preferred. Students are also expected to be strong written and oral commu=<br>
nicators. Ability to install and=20<br>
maintain field equipment (e.g. programming dataloggers, installing sensor=<br>
s, etc.) is a benefit. Many=20<br>
projects require the ability to work in remote areas and travel long dist=<br>
ances over snow.<br>
<br>
The University of Nevada is a Tier 1 research university with an excellen=<br>
t graduate program in hydrologic=20<br>
sciences (<a href="http://www.hydro.unr.edu/home/" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">http://www.hydro.unr.edu/home/</a>) that leverages resources at UNR=<br>
and the Desert Research=20<br>
Institute. Reno is close to outdoor recreation (biking, skiing, climbing=<br>
, river sports, and more) locally=20<br>
and nearby in the Sierra Nevada mountains. Reno also has ample city activ=<br>
ities (its the biggest little city=20<br>
for goodness sake!). Graduate student salaries are competitive and cost =<br>
of living is relatively low. More=20<br>
