Within the framework of the ERC project “COOLER”, we have opened two PhD positions at the Institute for Geosciences at the University of Potsdam to develop applications of high-resolution 4He/3He thermochronology and associated numerical modelling tools.
These PhD positions are funded for 3.5 years and offer an attractive research environment and strong potential concerning networking, integration into the scientific community, supervision, and cooperation with other PhD fellows and postdocs of the research unit. The main aim of the COOLER (Climatic Controls on Erosion Rates and Relief of Mountains Belts) project is to advance our understanding of the couplings between tectonic and climatic processes through the development of novel tools and numerical models that record erosion rates and relief changes with unprecedented resolution and link these to potential driving mechanisms. More information on the project can be found here: http://erc-cooler.eu.
The research project of PhD1 will focus on mapping of spatial and temporal patterns of rock exhumation in a glaciated margin setting, whereas the research project of PhD2 will address the question of how tectonic uplift rate affects glacial relief development. Detailed descriptions of the positions are available here:
* PhD1: https://www.uni-potsdam.de/fileadmin/projects/verwaltung/docs/Dezernat3/Ausschreibungen/2_akadPersonal/411_2021_Geologie_ERC_Cooler_Norway_141221.pdf
* PhD2: https://www.uni-potsdam.de/fileadmin/projects/verwaltung/docs/Dezernat3/Ausschreibungen/2_akadPersonal/412_2021_Geologie_ERC_Cooler_Mountain_141221.pdf
Required and preferred qualifications for the positions include:
* MSc in Earth Sciences or a closely related field
* Preferably some experience in thermochronology, in numerical analysis, and/or in field work in remote areas.
* good oral and written communication skills in English
* good interpersonal skills, and comfortable working in a team.
Applicants should send their application materials (including the following components: CV, names of two referees, letter of motivation, a record of academic degrees including a transcript of records) by January 31 2022 at the latest, via email to me (vanderbeek@uni-potsdam.de).

Wolf Water Resources (W2r) is searching for a mid-level geomorphologist or watershed scientist to join our close knit team of scientists and engineers based in Portland, OR.
This is an opportunity to make an impact for ecosystems and people in diverse watershed settings, manage projects with a wide range of stakeholders and project objectives (e.g. restoration, sediment, conservation, and urban stream management), and grow as part of a dynamic and collaborative team here at W2r. We are seeking folks who bring a passion for applied science and communication to solve evolving watershed issues throughout the Western US and world. I’ll note that we also collaborate regularly with academic researchers. In general, this position has lots of room to learn, grow, and lead on emerging environmental issues.
Thank you for considering, and sharing this announcement with your colleagues. Please feel free to reach out to me with any questions.

am currently looking for creative graduate students interested in coastal hydrodynamics and hydrology to join my research group at Louisiana State University (Department of Oceanography and Coastal Sciences; http://www.lsu.edu/cce/graduate/docs/index.php). I have two funded positions (stipend + tuition) available for MS students preferably starting in June 2020 (PhD students may be considered). Applications are due by January 2020 to be considered for funding. The positions are related to two projects focusing on the Louisiana coast and hydrodynamic responses to freshwater inputs via river diversions:
# Determining the wave and current climates in a degraded coastal wetland before the introduction of freshwater input via river diversions. The student would manage two near-shore wave and current monitoring arrays in addition to managing and analyzing the real-time data stream. There will be opportunities to interact with the entities involved in coastal restoration “earth moving” activities and design.
# Determining the effects of hydrodynamics (responses to wind, tides, river discharge) on phytoplankton communities (i.e., toxic algal blooms) in a large, isolated coastal bay. This project would be heavily focused on hydrodynamic modeling and would be an opportunity to work with biologists in an interdisciplinary project. Field work will also be included.
My group works to understand how water transport and hydraulic connectivity affect ecology (algal blooms, nutrients, etc.) and morphological development (e.g., deltaic growth) in coastal environments. We use field work and numerical modeling in our research projects. We also build cool hydraulics experiments to share with K-4 students at Baton Rouge Schools, which is super fun. Experience with field work, programming (Matlab or other languages), or numerical modeling is a plus. Applicants from underrepresented groups in STEM are encouraged to apply in addition to students with backgrounds in non-oceanographic fields such (e.g., engineering, geosciences, physics, mathematics, etc.). I’m committed to fostering an inclusive environment within my research group and at LSU. Please express your interest for the graduate program by filling out this free pre-application form (https://www.lsu.edu/cce/graduate/docs/admission/preapplication.php). Prospective students should know that LSU has mandatory fees, but I am committed to negotiating stipends to partially offset the additional fees to maintain a competitive stipend.
For more information please visit my website (https://matthewhiatt.wixsite.com/coastalhydrolsu) and I encourage prospective students to contact me at mhiatt1@lsu.edu
I hope to hear from you!

the Chair of Hydrology at the University of Freiburg is offering a doctoral researcher position on the topic of “Groundwater Discharge to Mountain Streams" (short: GAUGE), starting 01/03/2026.
Mountain streams supply water to both mountain regions and downstream areas and are therefore an important freshwater resource for ecosystems and humans (“water towers”). However, the role of groundwater in maintaining streamflow in mountain streams (baseflow) has been relatively little researched to date and is the focus of a new project funded by the German Research Foundation (DFG). In this project, we plan to establish an innovative streamflow measurement network in many, partly nested catchments in the Swiss Alps. These measurements, in combination with an existing dataset covering several hundred catchments, will be analysed in detail and integrated into models.

The candidate will be required to apply network scale sediment transport models and carry out field works using remote sensing techniques, such as drones, and collecting sediment transport data. This PhD opportunity is within a wider research project aiming at developing methods, models, and tools to improve our capacity to predict how river management measures and climatic changes at basin scale affect river connectivity, morphology and, in the end, ecological processes.
Interested candidates should have basic knowledge about fluvial geomorphology, and sediment transport, and some experience with geospatial modeling (e.g.; Matlab, Python, GIS etc…).
Deadline for application is fast approaching and I encourage any interested candidate to write to me for additional information and send me before the 25th of October a CV and a short motivational letter.
