HydroGeoclimatic Lab Invites Passionate Researchers!

The HydroGeoclimatic Lab would be committed to advancing research in the field of hydrology and climate science. We're actively seeking for passionate researchers to build a dynamic team with diverse background and skill sets who are eager to delve into our research areas or bring their novel ideas on related fields. Our dedicated research group specializes in hydro-climatology, and if you share our enthusiasm for this field, we strongly encourage you to reach out via email. Let's embark on this scientific exploration together!

We seek researchers with one or more following skillsets:

  1. Expertise in hydrology and water resources engineering and interest in developing strong computational skills.
  2. Mathematical modeling: Passionate in building a strong quantitative foundation (e.g., statistics, probability, optimization, linear algebra) and an interest in applying state-of-the-art ML/DL techniques to water resources and Climate science.
  3. Experience with programming languages such as R/MATLAB/Python/C/etc. Knowledge on parallel programming and high performance computing is an advantage.
  4. Familiarity or expertise with hydrologic modeling methods.
  5. Good large data management and analysis skills.
  6. Good communication and technical writing skills.
    7.

Prospective PhD Scholars

Prospective PhD students are encouraged to apply to the Hydraulics and Water Resources Engineering (HWRE) PhD program. The Department of Civil Engineering at Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Madras conducts PhD interviews biannually. To learn more about eligibility requirements and additional information, please visit the department's website.
We strongly encourage students who are interested in joining our lab to reach out to us via email. Generic form emails that do not address fit with our lab will not be returned. Interested students should email with the subject line “Prospective PhD student” and try including the following details in (single PDF file) your email.


  • Your CV
  • Academic background knowledge: can highlight on the courses and/or professional training on topics such as Water Resources, Stochastic Hydrology, Surface water Hydrology, Ground water hydrology, Remote sensing and GIS, Machine Learning, Deep Learning and Climate Science
  • Programming skills: details of your experience showcasing the programming skills(e.g.,R, MATLAB, Python, C, etc.) in undertaken projects
  • A Research proposal that connect to the lab’s research areas or novel ideas on related fields (optional, but considered a plus if attached)
  • List of accomplishments (if any)
  • Other documents (e.g., Journal/conference papers) which you think is relavent to showcase your skills (if any)
