Ecohydraulics Laboratory at the University of Central Florida in Orlando is
seeking to fill <b>Postdoctoral and Ph.D./M.Sc. student positions</b> to
support research focused at how feedbacks between hydrodynamics and biota
(mangroves, seagrasses, marsh grasses, oyster reefs) influence sediment
transport and geomorphic processes. Successful candidates will combine field
data collection and experimentation, lab experimentation in a sediment
recirculating flume, and modeling to support fundamental science in
flow-biota-sediment interaction, with direct applications to robust design of
green infrastructure. Positions are available from Summer/Fall 2021, but Spring
2022 may also be possible. The Kibler Ecohydraulics Lab fosters inclusion and
diversity and particularly welcomes applications from students currently
under-represented in the Engineering field. </span><span style="color:rgb(5,99,193);text-decoration:underline"><span style="color:windowtext;text-decoration:none"><span></span></span></span></p>
