Graduate Student Opportunities
We are always looking for students who are interested in pursuing graduate degrees in the Geosensing Systems Engineering & Sciences (GSES) program at the University of Houston. Our group’s research uses satellite, terrestrial, and marine geodetic techniques to investigate Earth’s topography and deformation. Possible scientific applications include but are not limited to studies of crustal motion and deformation near plate boundaries, land subsidence and sea level rise, and changes in the cryosphere. All admitted Ph.D. students are on graduate research assistantships. Instead of sending me inquiry emails, prospective students are encouraged to fill in this Online Form at any time of the year. Informal review of applications will start immediately and we will contact you if further information is needed. If I receive your email inquiry, I know that you have not read this webpage.
Note: GRE test is no longer mandatory for admission into the GSES PhD program.
Undergraduate Research Opportunities
If you are currently enrolled in UH as an undergraduate and would like to gain research experience, please send me an inquiry email with your resume and research interests. You might be interested in applying for the Summer Undergraduate Research Fellowship program (SURF: https://uh.edu/surf/).
Postdoctoral Opportunities
We occasionally have funds to support postdoctoral researchers. In many cases, we encourage prospective postdocs to investigate possible funding sources that are available to them. We are also interested to hear from you if you have a proposal idea that can potentially bring in postdoctoral support from funding agencies.
About the university, program, and city: The University of Houston is a public research university in Houston, Texas that is classified as an “R1” institution by Carnegie, which is the highest classification for research activity. The GSES is a multi-disciplinary program in which faculty and students use state-of-the-art geosensing tools to observe and characterize critical Earth’s processes. Houston is a leading energy and technology hub in the country.
