Master and PhD Posi/ons in Earth and Environmental Sciences The University of Texas at El Paso

We are seeking multiple highly motivated Master’s and PhD students to join our lab, which focuses on a broad spectrum of Earth and environmental sciences. Our primary interest lies in studying Earth-life systems across various temporal and spatial scales. Students can join our lab through either the Geoscience Program or the Computational Science Program. Prospective Master’s and PhD students will engage in interdisciplinary research utilizing a combination of mechanistic theoretical models (based on fundamental physics), highdimensional mathematical models (with numerical simulations), machine learning methods and big data analyses, computational biology and bioinformatics as well as laboratory experiments and field observations. The research in our lab is driven by the overarching goal of answering fundamental questions about the microscopic/macroscopic interactions, dynamical properties, and evolutionary processes of Earth-life systems as well as identifying basic rules governing Earth’s sustainability and exoplanets’ habitability. The main responsibility of graduate students is to conduct scientific research and publish in high-quality academic journals. These positions offer generous benefits packages, including contributions to tuition and health insurance, by UTEP policies.
