Interested in working with me?

I am always open to discussing collaborations, either using my existing Water Table Model and Fill-Spill-Merge code, developing new code, or thinking about hydrology or the Earth's surface in some other way. I am also happy to just talk to you about research in general and share more about my work! Feel free to get in touch and we can set up a meeting.

Open positions:

I am seeking one Ph.D. student and one postdoc to join my lab in the Department of Earth and Environmental Sciences at the University of Illinois Chicago (UIC). The focus of our work will be on the water table in the past, present, and future. This will include understanding long-term change in the water table; changes in water storage between different reservoirs (lakes, groundwater, ice, and the ocean); and the interactions between landscape morphology and water storage. There will be a focus on computer modelling and coding experience would be an advantage. Possible projects will include regional or global studies using the Water Table Model and/or Fill-Spill-Merge to assess changing water storage. There may also be opportunities for some field work. I would be happy to discuss potential projects in more detail, including if you have ideas for your graduate/postdoc research. The expected starting date for the Ph.D. would be Fall (August) 2023. The starting date for the postdoc is flexible within the year 2023. If you are interested in or have questions about either position, please contact me (email: kerryc@uic.edu).
