CEA - Going for Your PhD in Water Resources with Riley Post

CEA - Going for Your PhD in Water Resources with Riley Post

Not sure whether to go to grad school? Our guest today is Riley Post, a PhD Candidate who has been heavily involved in Water Resources for 10+ years operating reservoirs, locks, and dams! 😲 In this interview, he touches on how to decide between work experience versus academia, what may cause you to choose one over the other, and the value of the PE license for both (yes, you read that right…both!)


Tune in to Learn:

  • Riley's unusual path into Water Resources coming from Structural Engineering

  • Flood control reservoirs vs locks and dams (hint: most people get this wrong)

  • Why he went for a PhD and his research on the country’s flood control infrastructure

  • One question to ask yourself to decide whether you should go to graduate school

  • The definitive best time to tackle your Civil FE Exam

  • Why the PE matters even to those in academia — and especially to those out of it
