Open Positions

We are an inclusive research group driven by intellectual curiosity and a shared sense of purpose. Join us to leverage Earth science, decision science, statistics, and machine learning to address critical societal challenges and build climate resilience.

Undergraduates

We welcome highly motivated and creative undergraduates to work for pay or credit on cutting-edge projects.

Current opening: Flood Extent Labeling – help label flood extents from NOAA aerial imagery using GIS software.

Current opportunities focus on:

• Developing adaptation strategies for rural and underserved Texas communities.
• Using statistical and machine learning frameworks to assess and manage climate-related risks.
• Applying machine learning to simulate complex environmental systems and hazards.
• Building robust software tools for data-driven environmental engineering.

See our page for prospective undergraduates for application instructions.

PhD Students

We have open positions for outstanding and highly motivated PhD students to start in summer or fall 2026. Potential research topics include:

• Integrating statistical and AI tools to sample and characterize precipitation extremes.
• Advancing multi-process flood prediction across spatial and temporal scales using physics-informed ML.
• Developing frameworks to identify robust decision pathways for infrastructure systems under deep uncertainty.

See our page for prospective PhD students for application instructions.

Postdocs

We are not actively recruiting a postdoc at this time, but welcome inquiries from exceptional candidates with external funding or interest in developing joint proposals. Research topics are flexible and can be tailored to align your interests with the group’s expertise in climate science, hydrology, risk analysis, and decision science.
