Joining the Lab

Update November 2024: I will be on parental leave shortly and likely will not see nor be able to respond to inquiries sent between now and February. If you feel we may be a good match and decide to apply to one of the programs I can advise in, please mention my name in your application. Alternatively, feel free to reach out in February if you are undecided about applying but still interested at that time. Until then, you can get a feel for how our lab group works through our lab expectations document. For program-specific questions, please reach out to the program-specific contacts linked to below.
 

If you find the work I do interesting, please reach out! Good candidates may have a background in civil, environmental, or water resources engineering, hydrology, ecology, geosciences, or a related field. Experience with coding and/or hydrologic modeling is a plus, even if only in coursework. I value interdisciplinary collaborations and community-engaged research and I welcome candidates who share an interest in one or more of these areas. Several options for projects exist; to get a sense for the work I do, see examples of current/past research here. To start a conversation, please email me your resume or CV (cvoter@udel.edu) and tell me a little bit about your research interests.

Accepted students will be fully funded and may apply/be advised through the Civil and Environmental Engineering, Earth Sciences, or Water Science and Policy Graduate Programs at the University of Delaware. I do not have a preference for which program you apply to; my main concerns are the extent to which our research interests match and whether I can commit to funding you. The University of Delaware is a research university with Land Grant, Sea Grant, and Space Grant institutes which is centrally located between New York City and Washington D.C., in Newark, Delaware. UD is committed to creating an educational community that is intellectually, culturally and socially diverse—one that is enriched by the contributions and full participation of people from many different backgrounds.
