1 PhD and 4 PostDoc positions in Global Hydrology

December 8, 2025

We are creating an interdisciplinary cohort of PhD students and Postdoctoral Research Fellows to work across several institutions and topic areas to progress towards a global understanding for links between water infrastructure and aquatic ecosystems. The positions are offered by Cornell University (School of Civil and Environmental Engineering), the University of California, Santa Barbara (Environmental Studies Program/Bren School of the Environment), and the University of Maryland (Center for Global Sustainability) as part of an upcoming project that will develop a global, time-series dataset documenting the past and present evolution of riverine systems under human influence.
