The Departments of Botany and Ecosystem Science and Management at the University of Wyoming seek motivated applicants for a PhD student position. The successful candidate will join a watershed ecohydrology team led by Drs. Fabian Nippgen, Ginger Paige, and David Williams working on a new NSF EPSCoR project aimed at addressing the ecological and socioeconomic consequences of climate driven changes to water supply in a key region in northwestern Wyoming.

The open PhD position will focus on hydrologic modeling of water resources in the headwaters of the Columbia, Colorado, and Missouri River Basins in northwestern Wyoming using WRF-Hydro. The position includes modeling and field-based data collection of hydrologic and meteorologic variables, such as streamflow, snow cover, and precipitation, as well as work with eddy covariance data. Initial work will focus on medium to large-scale modeling applications, with the goal to downscale at later stages in the project.

Applications are welcome until the position is filled.
