The Huning Research Group looks for highly-motivated and qualified graduate students and postdocs who are interested in joining a research team that tackles global water resources problems using a variety of data and methods. Prospective students and postdocs should be excited about hydrology, water resources, extreme events, hydrometeorology, and/or hydroclimatology. Please feel free to refer to our Civil Engineering page for more information about applying to our program. If reaching out to Dr. Huning to join her group, please see the links below with additional information.

A variety of topics related to extreme events, snow hydrology, water, and climate are available. Current and prospective graduate students may be interested in applying for:

•  Student Researcher Positions

•  Climate-Ready Engineers for Water Resources Applications (CREW-RA) Program    

Exceptional CSULB undergraduate students may also be considered for research positions and may apply to the above mentioned positions and/or programs. Specific undergraduate opportunities may also be found below.

Prospective graduate students and postdocs are encouraged to apply for competitive external fellowships and also contact me if they are interested in pursuing an external fellowship opportunity with me. Here are some links to external fellowships:
