NSF-funded MS/PhD opportunity studying hurricanes and climate (Purdue
University)

 

The position: The  <http://web.ics.purdue.edu/~dchavas/> Climate and Extreme
Weather Laboratory in the  <http://www.eaps.purdue.edu/> Department of
Earth, Atmospheric, and Planetary Sciences (EAPS) at Purdue University, led
by Prof. Dan Chavas, has one funded graduate student (MS/PhD) position
available starting Spring/Fall 2021 to study hurricanes and climate. This
position is fully funded by a National Science Foundation (NSF) CAREER
grant. 

 

Diversity: We explicitly and proudly seek to increase participation from
underrepresented minorities (URM) in our field. Individuals from any URM
group are especially encouraged to reach out to Dan (see "If you are
interested" below) to learn more. 

 

About our group: Society is vulnerable to a range of extreme weather
phenomena, including hurricanes and tornadoes. We use observations, theory,
and computer models to understand the underlying physics of these phenomena.
Improved understanding will help us better predict their associated hazards
that impact our world.

 

About Purdue EAPS: Purdue EAPS is a broad department with a large and
vibrant young faculty conducting research across geology and geophysics,
atmospheric and climate science, and planetary science, including planetary
atmospheres. EAPS is a leader in the study of the dynamics of the Earth's
atmosphere across scales and is actively developing a new research and
teaching program in the area of climate and extreme weather. Moreover,
Purdue University boasts  <https://www.rcac.purdue.edu/> one of the best
collections of high-performance research computing systems in the country
maintained by a strong and active computing support staff to serve all your
computing needs. Purdue is also a world-class engineering school with strong
interdisciplinary interests in the impacts of weather and climate on a wide
range of economic sectors. Finally, Purdue is rapidly expanding a novel
University-wide Data Science cluster.

 

If you are interested: Please email  <mailto:dchavas at purdue.edu> Dan Chavas
