We recruit researchers interested in physical processes, statistics and computation, and in seeing their results used in engineering practice. Funded openings are posted here with their start date and funding source; expressions of interest are welcome at any time.
PhD
About four years of thesis research leading to first-author journal papers. Funding details are given with each advertised position.
- Master's in civil or environmental engineering, hydrology, atmospheric science or a quantitative field
- Python or R and comfort with large datasets
MESc
A two-year research master's on a defined question inside a funded project.
- Bachelor's in engineering or a related science
- Statistics, ideally extremes
Postdoctoral fellows
Postdocs lead research lines. Bring a direction you want to own: coastal processes, emulators, convection-permitting climate or risk.
- A one to two page research statement
- CV and three referees
Undergraduate and visiting

I read every inquiry and keep it on file, but I receive many and may not be able to reply to each one personally. Your application stays on record and is reviewed when a funded position that fits your background opens. Funded openings are announced on this page when they arise.
