The EMBRS Lab at The University of British Columbia in the Department of Geography will investigate air quality, public health, and climate-related issues with a central focus on fires. Please get in touch if you're interested in working with me at UBC as a graduate student (Masters or PhD)!
Opportunities
I am looking to recruit 1-2 MS.c. and Ph.D. students to start in the 2025-2026 academic year. The deadlines for the MS.c. and Ph.D. programs at UBC Geography are in mid-December and mid-January, respectively. Interested students should fill out this Google Form before they apply. I will then email strong applicants to set up a brief Zoom / Skype chat. Strong applicants will have some experience in coding (e.g., R, python, Google Earth Engine) and conducting research in environmental science, atmospheric science, geography, applied math, and/or computer science and at least some coursework or training in these topics. Competitive Ph.D. applicants should have completed independent research that is published or moving toward publication in reputable peer-reviewed journals.
If you are unable to access the Google Form, please email (tianjia.liu [at] ubc.ca) me with [Prospective Student Inquiry] in the email subject line and include the following:
• research level you're interested in (undergraduate, Masters, or PhD)
• CV / resume
• unofficial transcripts
• a brief statement on your research interests and why this lab
MS.c. and Ph.D. students in UBC Geography are guaranteed funding through research and teaching assistantships, fellowships, and department funds. I encourage Canadian citizens and permanent residents to apply for NSERC graduate fellowships. I will assist with applications for these programs and other relevant external funding programs.
