Job Description
We invite applications for a PhD position in the Ecohydrology Research Group at University of Waterloo, Canada, to work on biogeochemical reactive transport modeling to simulate the fate and fluxes of gases, nutrients and contaminants at key interfaces within the landscapes (e.g., agricultural, landfills, peatlands). The focus will be on the coupling of biogeochemical reactions to transport processes in near-surface environments (e.g., soils, sediments). PhD student will develop the reactive transport model of greenhouse gas emission dynamics in physically and chemically heterogeneous porous media at a variety of scales, from pore to column to field. The model will include gas transport dynamics, microbial community response, and seasonal effects, as well as thermodynamically-based modules that predict reaction trajectories of multi-functional soil microbial communities under variable physical-chemical conditions. PhD student will have the opportunity to perform laboratory-scale experiments aimed to analyze the reactive transport processes in porous media and determine rates, mechanisms and products of biogeochemical transformations of nutrients and contaminants and provide experimental datasets for model calibration/validation.
Applicants with degrees in any field of science or engineering are welcome to apply but preference will be given to candidates with demonstrated skills and experience in (environmental) chemistry, biogeochemistry, hydro(geo)logy, numerical and reactive transport modeling, and environmental engineering.
How to apply
If You Have Any Questions Regarding The Application Process And, Eligibility, Or a Request For Accommodation During The Selection Process, Please Contact Dr. Fereidoun Rezanezhad (frezanez@uwaterloo.ca) Or Dr. Philippe Van Cappellen (pvc@uwaterloo.ca). Please Submit Your Application Package Electronically As a Single Pdf File To Dr. Fereidoun Rezanezhad (frezanez@uwaterloo.ca). In Your Application Email, Please Include “PhD-RTM#_yourname” In The Subject Line And Attach a Single PDF File That Contains
Your motivation for applying to the position and your research interests Curriculum vitae Copy of transcript(s) (unofficial transcripts will be accepted at the application stage) Contact information for up to 3 references
Closing date: Applications will be reviewed as they are received. The positions will remain open until filled. We thank all applicants for their interest, however, only those individuals selected for an interview will be contacted.
The University is committed to implementing the Calls to Action framed by the Truth and Reconciliation Commission. We acknowledge that we live and work on the traditional territory of the Neutral, Anishinaabeg and Haudenosaunee peoples. The University of Waterloo is situated on the Haldimand Tract, the land granted to the Six Nations that includes ten kilometers on each side of the Grand River.
The University of Waterloo regards equity and diversity as an integral part of academic excellence and is committed to accessibility for all employees. As such, we encourage applications from women, persons with disabilities, Indigenous peoples (First Nations, Metis and Inuit), Black and members of racialized groups, individuals in the LGBTQ2+ communities, and others who may contribute to the further diversification of ideas.

About European Geosciences Union (EGU)
The European Geosciences Union (EGU) is the leading organisation for Earth, planetary and space science research in Europe. It was established in September 2002 as a merger of the European Geophysical Society (EGS) and the European Union of Geosciences (EUG), and has headquarters in Munich, Germany.
It is a non-profit international union of scientists with over 20,000 members from all over the world. Membership is open to individuals who are professionally engaged in or associated with geosciences and planetary and space sciences and related studies, including students and retired seniors.
The EGU has a current portfolio of 18 diverse scientific journals, which use an innovative open access format, and organises a number of topical meetings, and education and outreach activities. It also honours scientists with a number of awards and medals. The annual EGU General Assembly is the largest and most prominent European geosciences event, attracting over 16,000 scientists from all over the world each year. The meeting’s sessions cover a wide range of topics, including volcanology, planetary exploration, the Earth’s internal structure and atmosphere, climate, as well as energy and resources.
