Northwestern University: PhD Opportunity in Atmospheric Science and Hydrology

The Department of Earth & Planetary Sciences at Northwestern University seeks applicants with interest in pursuing a fully-funded PhD focused on the observation and modeling of precipitation and its hydrological impacts. The successful applicant will join a multi-institution interdisciplinary research team seeking to better understand atmosphere-land surface interactions, with a primarily focus on precipitation and mass wastage events. Research will involve learning, development, use, and advance of in situ and remote environmental observations (e.g., weather radar), as well as numerical models of the atmosphere and land surface hydrology (e.g., WRF-Hydro). The successful applicant will be advised by and work in close collaboration with Jiali Wang and Scott Collis at Argonne National Laboratory and Daniel Horton at Northwestern. Particularly desirable qualities include: Masters or BS in atmospheric science (or similar), interest in extreme precipitation (to include atmospheric rivers), robust written and oral communication skills, experience with high performance computing, and a desire to conduct and document open source science.

To apply, consult: https://www.earth.northwestern.edu/graduate/grad-apply.html.   Application deadline is 18 Dec. Questions about the position can be addressed to Daniel Horton daniel.horton at northwestern.edu<mailto:daniel.horton at northwestern.edu>. Northwestern University is an EO/AA employer. NU is dedicated to the goal of building a culturally diverse university committed to researching, teaching, and working in a multicultural environment. NU and the Department of Earth & Planetary Sciences strongly encourage applications from underrepresented and minority communities.
