Join the lab
We’re always interested in meeting prospective students and postdocs who are interested in advancing scientific understanding of changing water and climate. Ideal qualities in potential group members are enthusiasm, a collaborative spirit, communication skills, and a willingness to learn to use reproducible computational tools for hydrology. Our lab values diversity, equity, and justice, and we welcome applications from students with non-traditional backgrounds.
Students can be admitted into the MS or PhD programs in Hydrologic Sciences & Engineering (HSE) or Geology & Geological Engineering. Funding opportunities may be available through a combination of research and teaching assistantships or external fellowships. Specific funded opportunities will be listed below.
Please note – I’ll do my best to respond to all inquiries, but this may not be possible due to a high volume. Thank you for your patience and understanding!
Open opportunities
The Marshall Lab Group at the Colorado School of Mines is recruiting one or more PhD students who are interested in applying computational approaches to understand changing snow extremes and interactions between snow and terrestrial ecosystems. One student will be supported by the NSF CAREER proposal described here: https://www.minesnewsroom.com/news/adrienne-marshall-wins-nsf-career-award-study-western-snowpack.
Strong applicants will have enough experience programming to be enthusiastic about pursuing a PhD using computational methods, a strong interest in snow hydrology and water resources and/or ecosystems, and career goals that align with getting a PhD in Hydrologic Science and Engineering at Mines. A master’s degree in a related field is helpful but not required.
If you’re interested, please email Dr. Marshall (adriennemarshall at mines dot edu) with a CV and description of your background and interest.
Positions are open to start as soon as applicants are available; will remain open until filled. Inquire by August 31 for priority consideration.
Celebrating Brian and Jongeun heading to new ventures in 2023
Congrats to three HSE awardees!
Get in touch
If you’re interested in a position in our lab (even if there are no currently open opportunities), please send Dr. Marshall an email with your CV and cover letter describing (1) how your background relates to our lab and (2) your research interests.
