in fall 2023. </span></a><a name="OLE_LINK5"><span style="mso-bookmark:OLE_LINK1"><span style="color:#626262">The Lab seeks to better understand how watersheds function as systems with interactions among meteorological forcing, geologic setting, and ecological
process, and how these systems affect critical water resources in a changing climate. To do so, we use state-of-the-science computational watershed and ecological simulators which are constrained with novel field and remotely-sensed measurements including
stable isotope analyses and spatial-pattern calibration approaches. Current projects focus on the partitioning of rain and snow to streamflow and evapotranspiration in mountain environments, groundwater-vegetation feedbacks at watershed scales in a changing
climate, and watershed responses to disturbances including extreme storms and wildfire.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:6.0pt"><span style="mso-bookmark:OLE_LINK1"><span style="color:#626262">The successful candidate will be supported to design their own research project within the broad theme of mountain ecohydrology that excites them,
complements ongoing projects, and builds new understanding of how these watersheds function and affect water resources. Areas for potential projects include, but are not limited to, groundwater-vegetation feedbacks in a shifting climate; the effects of water
partitioning on drought occurrence and severity; and multiobjective calibration of watershed models using machine-learning-based surrogate models and novel measurements. The selected candidate will have the opportunity to collaborate with others at Northeastern
University, particularly in the </span></span><a href="https://cos.northeastern.edu/cos-connected-science-community-phd-summer-program/"><span style="mso-bookmark:OLE_LINK1">College of Science</span><span style="mso-bookmark:OLE_LINK1"></span></a><span style="mso-bookmark:OLE_LINK1"><span style="color:#626262">

work environment.</span></a></span><span style="mso-bookmark:OLE_LINK1"><span style="color:#626262">
<a name="OLE_LINK2">We encourage candidates from a broad variety of backgrounds to apply, particularly those with majors in earth science, ecology, geography, computer science, and civil and environmental engineering and experience in computational modeling
and data analysis. Ideal candidates will have research experience, a passion for learning and scientific exploration, and a commitment to equity and inclusion. While an M.S. is preferred, it is not required. A positive attitude and the ability to work both
independently and part of a team are required. Candidates from historically and currently marginalized groups are particularly encouraged to apply and to ask the questions necessary to ensure they can feel safe, supported and comfortable in the lab, university,
community, and field environments.</a> Candidates can apply to the Lab through either Northeastern’s Department of Marine & Environmental Science or Northeastern’s Department of Civil & Environmental Engineering depending on their background, and can be housed
in either department. <o:p></o:p></span></span></p>
