University of Maryland (UMD) PhD Research Assistantship Opportunities



PhD Research Assistantship Opportunities

 

The Department of Environmental Science and Technology at the University of Maryland (UMD) invites applications for up to two PhD-level graduate research assistantships in the areas of water resources management and water reuse starting in the Fall semester (or Summer) 2022.

Prospective applicants should have BS/MS degrees in water resources management, agricultural engineering, environmental engineering, environmental science, biosystems engineering, ecological engineering, or other closely related fields. Applicants are expected to have strong experience in geospatial analysis (e.g., ArcGIS) and hydrological modeling (e.g., SWAT). Experience in data analysis, agent-based modeling, and decision support systems is very desirable.

The students will work on a recently funded USDA-NIFA grant titled: “Stakeholder Inclusive Water Management in a Changing Mid-Atlantic: Alternative Water Sources, Related Socioeconomic Factors, and Sustainability”. The overall goal of this project is to facilitate the use of alternative water sources and the implementation of efficient water conservation practices (i.e., best management practices (BMPs)). The PhD research will focus on the development of a multiscale water resources management framework using Agent-Based Modeling (ABM) to identify and implement BMPs for efficient freshwater and recycled water use. The PhD student(s) will perform data collection and management, development of hydrologic and ABM models, and geospatial data analysis. The PhD student(s) will also develop decision support systems that integrate socioeconomic and biophysical factors in agricultural water management and the use of alternative water sources. Students will work with Dr. Negahban-Azar and Dr. Shirmohammadi in the ENST Department, and Dr. Montas in Bioengineering Department.

The position(s) will include year-round support (including salary, health benefits & tuition) through a 12-month research assistantship for up to three years (contingent upon satisfactory performance). Interested applicants may contact Dr. Negahban-Azar via email (mnazar@umd.edu) to discuss their background and research interests.

 

Please note that applications to the UMD graduate school are due December 15, 2021, for the 2022 Fall semester start date. Application materials will include transcripts, recommendation letters, TOEFL/IELTS scores (for international applicants), GRE (optional), CV, and a research statement.
