Opportunities

We are looking for motivated graduate students and postdocs to join our group at UNLV! Possible research topics include:

  • Monitoring floodplain biogeochemistry using in situ sensor arrays
  • Investigating water quality in the Las Vegas Wash and its role in the formation of harmful algal blooms in Lake Mead
  • Investigating controls on managed aquifer recharge using geophysical data, machine learning and hydrologic models

Students with a background in earth science, chemistry, engineering or other related fields are encouraged to apply. Previous coding or research experience is a strong plus, but not a strict requirement. Please feel free to email me directly with your CV and some information on your research interests.

Successful applicants will join the Department of Geoscience at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas — one of the top Geoscience programs in the West. In addition, Las Vegas is an affordable city with a ton to do, ranging from mountain biking and rock climbing to music festivals and a great food scene. In fact, Vegas has better access to more national parks than any other city in the U.S.! More information about the UNLV graduate program in Geoscience can be found here.
