PhD positions

Apply before:

31 March 2022

PhD positions on active surface processes are available in Monash University's School of Earth, Atmosphere and Environment (https://www.monash.edu/science/schools/earth-atmosphere-environment). These positions are 3 to 3.5 years long, fully-funded (tuition + stipend), and commence between July and December 2022. Applications are due by May 31st for domestic applicants and March 31st (very soon!) for international applicants. Further admissions information can be found here: https://www.monash.edu/science/schools/earth-atmosphere-environment/postgrad.

Students will join the new Monash Geomorphology Lab (https://www.geomorphlab.org/) and be supervised by Andrew Gunn (https://research.monash.edu/en/persons/andrew-gunn). Projects will focus on understanding generic surface processes and can include planetary (i.e. Mars, Titan and Venus) or anthropogenic climate change applications. Potential projects include:

Fieldwork on aeolian (wind-blown) linear sand dunes in Australia
Experiments on dunes made in flow from more than one direction
Simulations on the stability of drainage networks to perturbation

Please send expressions of interest (include academic CVs and up-to-date unofficial transcripts) or questions to a.gunn@monash.edu. Experience in geomorphology, programming or physics are preferable but not essential. Students who identify within groups minoritized in the geosciences are encouraged to apply.

All the best,

Andrew
