position

in Hazard forecasting and compound flooding in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at the

University

of Alabama. I would like to be considered for the

position

as my

research

interests and experiences completely fitted with the needed criteria and competencies for

this

research

project. After acceptance in the general academic entrance examination, I started my hydraulic academic studies, Bachelor’s degree, in the Shahid Chamran

University

of Ahvaz, the Hydraulic scientific

center

of Iran. I majored in

water

engineering entailing a syllabus including

such

courses as fluid mechanics hydraulics, hydrology, and

water

conveyance structure, hydraulics of flood, sediment transport, and design of irrigation systems. After completing my B.Sc., I engaged in an M.Sc. in

water

conveyance structure at Tehran

University

, the most important

University

of Iran. I

also

improved my

knowledge

and gained experiences with specialized software including Flow3D,

Water

Gems, and GIS. When the theoretical courses finished, I started my thesis under the supervision of Professor Alireza Vatankhah;

moreover

, it had in the lab procedures and experimentation including ‘The Study of Simple Throat less Flume’. As soon as I graduated from

university

, I sought job opportunities and managed to get an occupation at school, where I held different responsibilities for nine months. After that, I got a

position

in a company (Forouzandeh Construction) which was related to my major at

University

to gain experience and become familiar with others’ ideas;

moreover

, I carved for putting my ideas into practice and did not want to confine myself to the theoretical

knowledge

which I had attained at

university

. I was able to improve my digital

knowledge

and skills including AUTOCAD, HEC-RAC, SPSS, Python, and Open Foam. With respect to the environment, educational backgrounds, the course presented, and the

research

areas available, Alabama

University

is among the most notable academic

centers

. Getting

this

position

in the

university

is the most immediate priority I have determined for my educational career. I am well informed that the

university

’s

water

science and hydrology engineering programs are in line with my career-related desires and the professional goals I have set in my life. To me,

this

position

will provide me exceptional chance to

further

educational advances, international academic experiences, develop awareness, and aid finance in society. Taking

this

job is a significant breakthrough towards a successful future in the applications of hydrology. I am an ambitious, hard-working student who is interested in learning new things. I am fond of different aspects of my field

such

as flood and their applications, and I believe that

research

projects

such

as the proposed one in your

research

group match my interest and background pretty well. I am closely familiar with flood structures and the resulting damages. I have gained field experience and carried out objective observations in

this

regard;

this

is due to the fact that we are faced with

this

problem in our country every year. I have the ambition to

research

this

issue and to find solutions;

this

is, by far, an aspiration that has led me to study hydraulic engineering. I am eager to join

this

research

project and participate in the planned simulations and design processes, which will be a valuable experience for my future career. I believe that the mentioned experimental

research

would fit me for the

position

as it excites my interest.

Besides

, my

knowledge

of laboratory and software programs would be a valuable asset for me during my career and

research

.

Consequently

, I believe that I have the true potential and strong motivation to start my studies as a

Ph.D.
