I am seeking applications for graduate students in my group in the department of Earth, Energy, and Environment at the University of Calgary. I currently have two fully funded Ph.D. studentships in large-scale ecosystem modeling to start in 2026. Links to the advertisements for these positions are below.

All positions will be based full-time in Calgary, Alberta, Canada, a vibrant city situated about 1 hour from the heart of the Canadian Rocky Mountains. Students will also have the opportunity to visit collaborators and field sites in Eastern Canada and overseas.

Applications submitted by January 15, 2026 will receive full consideration.
