Dartmouth’s PhD program in Ecology, Evolution, Ecosystems, and Society (EEES) is seeking a motivated graduate student with broad interests in hydroclimate variability and change. The student will have the opportunity to develop their own research, be part of Dartmouth’s Climate Variability and Change Group (CVCG) and collaborate with faculty across the departments/programs of Geography, EEES, and Earth Sciences. 

A background in Earth, atmospheric, environmental, or hydrological sciences is preferred, along with experience in scientific computing and statistics – though neither is required. CVCG is committed to fostering an inclusive and respectful lab environment that supports the open exchange of ideas within a culture of mutual respect. Interested students are encouraged to contact Arianna Varuolo-Clarke via email (arianna.m.varuolo-clarke@dartmouth.edu). If you’d like to discuss Dartmouth, the PhD program, or the lab group in person, you can arrange to meet with her during AGU. 

You are encouraged to apply by December 1, 2025 via the online application, though the application submission deadline is flexible.
