Fall 2025 Graduate Research Opportunities

Advisor name Description of Opportunity
Angel F. Adames Corraliza No new funded opportunities this year
Larissa Back I will be recruiting for a project related to tropical convection and/or dynamics, details still to be determined
Ankur Desai Fall 2025 graduate opportunities are to be determined
David Henderson Fall 2025 graduate opportunities are to be determined
Stephanie Henderson Fall 2025 graduate opportunities are to be determined
Matt Hitchman Fall 2025 graduate opportunities are to be determined
Tracey Holloway No new funded opportunities this year
Tristan L’Ecuyer No new funded opportunities this year
Andrea Lopez Lang I am recruiting one or two new graduate students to work on projects related to understanding the variability of cool-season weather extremes related to troposphere-stratosphere coupling. One project will include using process-oriented diagnostics to investigate stratospheric variability and teleconnections. The other project is still pending but related to extratropical wintertime extremes and high-latitude variability.
Elizabeth Maroon 1. Examining the relationships between sea surface temperature extremes and ocean biogeochemical fields
2. Exploring the effects of basin-scale oceanic topography on ocean circulation and climate
Jonathan Martin Fall 2025 graduate opportunities are to be determined
Mayra Oyola-Merced At this time, we are still evaluating our capacity to accept new students for the 2025 academic year. We encourage interested candidates to check back for updates or to contact me directly at oyolamerced@wisc.edu
Brad Pierce Fall 2025 graduate opportunities are to be determined
Angela Rowe I will be submitting a proposal for a grant to tentatively begin 6/1/2025. I will not know for some time if that proposal is awarded, but if so, then I will have funding for one student beginning Fall 2025. The project is studying particle size distribution variability with a field component in S. Korea in 2026 for the M3TRO (Micro to Mesoscale Meteorology and Rainfall Observations) campaign in close collaboration with the Korea Precipitation Observation Program (KPOP).
Dan Vimont No new funded opportunities this year
Till Wagner 2 graduate student positions are available in the research area of ice and climate physics.
Students will be involved in projects related to one or several of the following topics: the decay and climate impact of icebergs; calving at tidewater glaciers and ice shelves; recent sea ice changes; high-latitude climate tipping points; ice-ocean interactions. Strong undergraduate mathematical skills are desirable.
