We would like to attract your attention to PhD position related to water–permafrost interactions.
The candidate will join the group implementing the project NCN SONATA BIS "Applied remote sensing and geophysical imaging in recognition of the changes of the water balance in High Arctic catchments" at the Institute of Geophysics Polish Academy of Sciences. The project is scheduled for 48 months. The main objective of the project is a comprehensive water balance study in two High Arctic mountainous catchments located in Svalbard to investigate the heterogeneity in the cryo-hydro-meteorological conditions and their seasonal dynamics.
We propose an integrated approach taking into account the freeze-thaw cycles of water in the soil, to describe and model hydrological processes. These cycles influence river discharge by changing the hydraulic properties of the soil and by either contributing to or preventing infiltration. It is planned to use cryo-hydro-geological models for a better understanding of processes linking hydrology and permafrost under varying climatic conditions. In particular, we would like to analyse (i) an influence of active layer thickness on the surface and near-surface water storage, drainage, and routing; (ii) test the effect of surface water, soil moisture, and groundwater on permafrost distribution and degradation; (iii) analyse how active layer thickness changes in the past have altered observed discharge patterns; (iv) and how future permafrost degradation will influence the hydrological regime.
'''Requirements:'''

We seek a scientist whose research addresses the physical, chemical, and biological processes that shape the Earth’s surface and near-surface environments—processes that influence water resources, landscape evolution, ecosystem health, and the mitigation of natural hazards. The full-time, 9-month (academic year) tenure-track faculty appointment is at the Assistant Professor level with a target start date of August 16, 2026.
We are particularly interested in candidates who use near-surface geophysical methods—such as seismic, potential field, geodetic, and/or remote sensing techniques—to investigate shallow subsurface structures and link surface processes to deep-time geological or climatic phenomena. We welcome applicants whose work integrates field-based geophysical observations with computational or mathematical modeling, and fosters interdisciplinary connections across hydrology, geomorphology, critical zone science, atmospheric sciences, and engineering. Successful candidates will demonstrate experience with fostering or the ability to foster an inclusive and collaborative teaching, learning, departmental, and research environment where all can thrive. They will also advance the educational mission of the University of Illinois, a land-grant institution committed to access, education, research, and service and to addressing challenges at both local and global scales.
This position will integrate with campus-wide strategic initiatives and will contribute to both fundamental research and applied challenges related to:

Westminster University in Salt Lake City, Utah, seeks a geoscientist with expertise in climate science and/or hydrology and/or geochemistry and with the ability to teach coursework in GIS. This position begins in summer or fall of 2024 and will be hired at the rank of Assistant Professor in the Geology Program in the Westminster College of Arts and Sciences. The 24-credit teaching assignment will include a combination of introductory courses in Geology, GIS, and upper division on-campus and field-based courses in the person’s area of expertise. We expect the successful candidate to work collaboratively with colleagues in Environmental Studies, Biology, Chemistry, Mathematics, and/or Physics. We seek an excellent educator with demonstrated ability to facilitate active student engagement and to provide effective mentoring to undergraduate researchers. Experience with team teaching, community engagement, field experiences, and other innovative learning designs is desired. We seek an energetic colleague who will participate actively in the growth of our vibrant program and the ongoing development of our innovative curriculum.
The Geology Program and our curriculum take advantage of our incredible geologic setting at the intersection of distinct geologic provinces: the Basin and Range, the Colorado Plateau, the Rocky Mountains, and the Snake River Plain. We utilize this setting as a natural laboratory for our students as they progress through our dynamic and socially relevant curriculum in pursuit of their B.S. in Geology, which also requires foundational coursework in Math, Chemistry and Physics. Our program emphasizes research opportunities for our undergraduate students, with many students presenting at regional and national research conferences and serving as co-authors on publications. We partner with local and regional organizations to offer our students the ability to learn and grow beyond the classroom and develop skills that will make them highly marketable upon graduation. We ultimately seek to develop well-rounded students who are prepared to enter the workforce, contribute to their communities, and work towards positive change for the future.
The Geology Program emphasizes field- and place-based learning experiences, which align with Westminster University’s Power of Place Initiative. The Program’s Summer Field Geology course functions as a capstone course and invites students on a traveling 6-week journey to some of the most geologically impressive sites throughout the country. The course requires the students to synthesize their geologic knowledge acquired throughout their coursework and apply it over the course of week-long research projects. The Geology Program’s Four Years in the Field Initiative reflects our commitment to ensuring place-based learning opportunities in every geology course from our 100-level introductory courses through our senior level seminars. We invite a future colleague who will contribute to these initiatives and will embrace the opportunity to craft their own field- and place-based learning experiences for students.
We seek candidates who demonstrate skills, experience, and potential to facilitate the learning of all students, including those historically underrepresented in higher education (such as students of color, LGBT students, students with disabilities, first-generation college students, and more). The Geology Program is strongly committed to increasing the diversity of our student body and our discipline by creating a safe and welcoming environment for all within the geosciences.

McNair programs serve low-income and first-generation college students and/or students from groups underrepresented in graduate study. Since 2003, Westminster has served approximately 160 McNair students, some of whom were relocated to Salt Lake City as refugees from Sudan, Somalia, Iraq, and Bosnia. Sixteen McNair alums have earned a PhD, and 73 percent have either attained an advanced degree or remain in the graduate-study pipeline.
