The CREST Center for Geospatial and Environmental Informatics, Modeling and
Simulation at Texas A&M University-Corpus Christi is seeking a PhD student
to study coastal resilience and environmental sustainability, starting Fall
2022. The five-year research project is funded by the National Science
Foundation, aiming to better understand the interactions of urban
hydrology, water infrastructure systems, and environmental management
strategies in coastal regions, using a combination of observation,
simulation, and experimental methods.



This position is fully funded, covering stipend, benefits, and tuition. The
successful applicant will be admitted into the Geospatial Computer Science
PhD Program:

Skills with any of the following topics are not required but will be highly
valued: (a) hydrologic or water quality modeling; (b) monitoring or
experiment of green infrastructure, (c) unmanned aircraft systems, (d)
Python programming, (e) Google Earth Engine or Planet Platform, and (f)
artificial intelligence.



Interested applicants are encouraged to contact Dr. Hua Zhang (
hua.zhang at tamucc.edu), Associate Professor of Civil Engineering, via email
including the following materials:

(1) CV;

(2) a statement of research experience and interest;
