Dear Colleagues, please share these position with your students.


The Ecohydraulics Laboratory at the University of Central Florida (UCF) in
Orlando, Florida is seeking to fill 2 Graduate Research Assistantship
positions (including tuition, stipend) to support PhD research focused on
feedbacks between hydrology and hydrodynamics, biota (vegetation, shellfish
reef) and soils/sediment. Successful candidates will pursue a PhD in Civil
Engineering within UCF’s Department of Civil, Environmental & Construction
Engineering. The selected candidates will undertake research aimed at
robust design of natural and nature-based infrastructure to support climate
resiliency and water quality, supported by state and federal agencies.



PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS AND EXPERIENCE

Environmental, Biological or Ecological Engineering, or in a related area
(Hydrology, Geomorphology, Marine or other relevant Earth Sciences) from an
accredited institution before August 2025.

Strong quantitative background (both coursework and professional or
research experience) in hydrology/hydraulics. Coding and computational
analysis experience (e.g. MATLAB, R, Python).

Interest or relevant experience in Ecohydrology or Ecohydraulics.

Excellent oral and written communication skills. Prior record of published
scholarly work, including Master’s thesis or journal publication.

Field experience in aquatic environments (boating experience a plus).
