<p><span style="font-size:12.0pt;color:black">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 :</span><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:#222222">
