Open positions

The Hydroinformatics Group at the University of Virginia is open to applications from undergraduate students interested in research experiences, prospective graduate students, and postdoctoral applicants.

Our research group uses data and computing to advance understanding of water resources and hydrologic systems. Openings are available for students interested in research in water resources engineering or in applying data science and software engineering to hydrologic systems. We especially seek students with experience using Python, R, and GIS, but experience with these tools is not required. Students in civil and environmental engineering, computer science, computer engineering, systems engineering, environmental science, and data science are encouraged to apply.

For undergraduate research assistant applicants, you are encouraged to review our ongoing projects and submit a concise proposal indicating their interest in a specific project. Please include details about your interest in the project. We welcome unique perspectives on our ongoing projects and encourage you to share any innovative ideas or insights gained from your current coursework. Submit your proposal along with your current resume to Professor Goodall via email.

For graduate student applicants, please review the application instructions for the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering / School of Engineering and Applied Sciences at the University of Virginia. Please email Professor Goodall if you have a unique situation or question about applying. Unfortunately, due to the large number of emails and applications received from prospective graduate students, it is not possible to provide general advise on application materials prior to applying. If you decide to apply and would like to work in our group, please list Professor Goodall as an faculty of interest in your application and describe how your research aligns with the research in our group.

For postdoctoral applicants, please email Professor Goodall with your resume/CV and research interests. Do to the large number of emails, you may not receive a reply unless there is a match between your background and a postdoctoral opening.
