2026 CUAHSI Virtual University Faculty

About CUAHSI Virtual University (CVU)
Since 2017, CUAHSI has offered an inter-university online course to enhance the depth and breadth of graduate-level hydrology course offerings.

In CVU, a series of 1-credit, 4-week modules are taught by faculty in participating universities. Faculty teach one-credit modules on highly specialized topics that are often too specific to be full-credit classes on an individual campus. Modules are self-contained and students enroll in the three modules most relevant to their interests.

Participating faculty earn full course credit at their institution for teaching their 4-week module and serving as instructor-of-record for students from their university who enroll in CVU.

The course runs from September to December each year.

Requirements for Instructors
• Be a faculty member of a graduate program relevant to the hydrologic sciences
• Receive university consent to participate in the CUAHSI Virtual University
• Be available to teach an online module synchronously for four consecutive weeks (September, October, or November), twice a week for 90 mins each day (M/W or T/Th)

Expectations for Faculty
• Teach a module in their specialized sub-discipline
• Serve as instructor-of-record for students from their university who enroll in CVU

Deadline: March 16, 2026 (Applications received after this date will only be considered if space remains.)
