Dear Colleagues,
We are looking for a PhD student starting in the fall semester 2021 to join the project “Critical Interface Network (CINet) in Intensively Managed Landscapes” in the NSF-supported Critical Zone Collaborative Network (CZCN). The student will be part of a multidisciplinary team of faculty, postdocs, graduate students, and undergraduates examining the roles of critical interfaces (upland surfaces, root zones, and river corridors) in governing the dynamics of the critical zone in intensively managed agricultural landscapes of the midwestern United States. The project is centered at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign (UIUC), but involves collaborators from multiple universities and government agencies throughout the United States and elsewhere in the world. UIUC has world-renowned faculty in river and watershed science extending across a range of academic programs including Geography and Geographic Information Science (GGIS), Geology, Civil and Environmental Engineering, and Natural Resources and Environmental Science. Graduate students from these programs regularly interact with one another through coursework, seminars, colloquia, discussion groups, and research projects.
The PhD student will primarily be involved in the River Corridor Theme of CINet, which seeks to understand how river corridors filter or modulate the physical and chemical signatures of sediment and carbon derived from human-modified uplands, including the influence of differences in land use and valley characteristics on spatial and temporal patterns of material fluxes through these corridors. Field work will center on the upper Sangamon River basin in East Central Illinois, but will also include comparisons with river corridors throughout the Midwest. The research will generate fundamental insight into the influence of human agency on river dynamics in the Anthropocene as well as generating useful knowledge to inform river management. The CINet team, including the student, will also explore connections with researchers involved in other CZCN sites. The CZCN program includes researchers from more than a dozen universities across the country and has an active junior scientist council that provides a large and diverse community for graduate students to interact with.
The student will be co-supervised by Bruce Rhoads in GGIS (brhoads@illinois.edu) and Alison Anders (amanders@illinois.edu) in Geology. We seek applicants with strong field and modeling skills in fluvial geomorphology or a related area of river science. Interested individuals should apply to the PhD program in either the Department of Geography and Geographic Information Science (deadline Dec. 19, 2020) or the Department of Geology (deadline Jan. 15, 2021). GGIS is home to the PhD program in River, Watershed and Landscape Dynamics (https://ggis.illinois.edu/research/areas/river-watershed-and-landscape-dynamics), whereas Geology houses a PhD program in Earth Surface Processes and Sedimentary Geology (https://geology.illinois.edu/research/areas/earth-surface-processes-sedimentary-geology). Both programs are strongly committed to diversity and inclusion. Additional opportunities exist at the university-level to promote success for graduate students from traditionally underrepresented communities. Inquiries about the position in advance of the application deadlines are welcome. The position is fully funded for 4 years of support.

Dear Colleagues,
We are pleased to announce an exciting Postdoc position at the University of Padova, Italy in the Department of Civil, Environmental and Architectural Engineering. We seek a highly motivated postdoctoral fellow to work in an international and interdisciplinary project on land subsidence and the effect of groundwater extraction in the Mekong delta.
The Mekong delta is the third largest delta in the world and recent pioneering research on land subsidence has moved insights and understanding of deltaic subsidence in this delta to a next level, providing an example for other deltas. As postdoc at the University of Padova you will continue on this ground-breaking line of research and lead the efforts of connecting two existing hydro(geo)logical models previously developed to study land subsidence (Minderhoud et al., 2017,2020; Zoccarato et al., 2018). Technical support on code development and programming is present in the research group and not a required skill for this position, although affinity with numerical modelling is highly preferable. The objective is to study the impact of deep groundwater extraction on shallow subsidence in the Mekong delta through an innovative combination of numerical tools driven and validated by a wealth of pre-existing field data. Secondly, in close collaboration with another Postdoc based in Vietnam, the new findings are translated to policy-oriented documents used to actively advise policymakers and design effective management strategies. See project summary below for more details.
The project is both scientifically challenging and societal highly relevant. It aims to bridge the gap between technical (modelling) quantification of land subsidence (this postdoc, in Padova, Italy) and water governance strategies to limited land subsidence in the future (second postdoc in Vietnam, separate advertisement).
The successful candidate has expertise across dimensions including, but not limited to, hydro(geo)logical sciences, geomorphology, geo-environmental engineering, physical geography, numerical modelling, water governance and/or research outreach. Furthermore, the candidate is driven to collaborate in an interdisciplinary and international team on an exciting research topic in a booming field.
'''Exciting follow-up funding opportunities to further boost your career in science'''<br>
In case the successful candidate currently reside outside of Italy (at least for two years), she/he is eligible, encouraged and supported to apply for an EU Marie-Curie Postdoctoral fellowship (https://ec.europa.eu/research/mariecurieactions/actions/postdoctoral-fellowships) at University of Padova to prolong the postdoctoral research at the University of Padova and boost her/his career. The supervisors have experience in acquiring this prestigious grant and the international office of Padova University provides dedicated support in grant writing and an excellent writing course (https://www.unipd.it/en/msca-marathon21). Furthermore, Padova University provides its own Seal Of Excellence funding, which considerably increases funding changes for proposal receiving a score >85 (https://www.unipd.it/en/msca-seal-excellence-2021).
For candidates currently residing in Italy, there is the opportunity for writing a Marie-Curie Postdoctoral fellowship during this project for Wageningen University (The Netherlands) (other institution of main supervisor).

Dear Colleagues,
Please see below details of a post-doc and PhD position currently open to join our group at the University of Lausanne in Switzerland (https://wp.unil.ch/ice/) – please circulate widely to interested candidates. Both positions are part of the 5-year European Research Council funded project ICED – Impact of Climate on Mountain Denudation. The closing date for both positions is May 20th 2020 with an anticipated start date of October 2020.
All the best,
Georgina
'''2-Year post-doc position in numerical modelling of erosion rate changes '''
The impact of climate on mountain denudation remains contested because it is challenging to resolve changes in erosion rates over the timescale of glacial-interglacial cycles i.e. 103-6 years. Combining trapped-charge thermochronometry data together with conventional thermochronometric ages and 10Be denudation rates may allow this temporal gap to be spanned. However, these different techniques integrate erosion rates over different timescales, making the combination of data challenging. The objective of this post-doctoral position is to refine existing numerical models and to develop new models that allow the integration of these data. The ultimate objective is to determine Quaternary erosion rate changes in the European Alps.
For any questions and for further details of the project please contact Georgina King (georgina.king@unil.ch), to apply, please go the UNIL Human Resources webpage.
'''4 Year PhD position in Quaternary landscape evolution of the European Alps'''
This PhD position will apply recently developed techniques based on electron spin resonance and luminescence dating to selected sites in the European Alps, to better constrain the timing and processes of glacial valley formation.
The project will involve fieldwork in Switzerland, France and Italy as well as extensive lab work and some numerical modelling. Full training will be provided for both ESR/Luminescence dating and the modelling aspects of the project.
The PhD candidate will work in close collaboration with other group members focused on the development of the ESR method and numerical models for the technique’s application in geomorphological research. For any questions and for further details of the project please contact Georgina King (georgina.king@unil.ch), to apply, please go the UNIL Human Resources webpage.

Impacts of dynamic, climate-driven water availability on tree water use and stress
Contrôle climatique de la disponibilité en eau et du stress hydrique des arbres ripicoles
'''Context/scientific issue:'''
Forests along rivers are under threat due to climate-driven changes in water availability to trees. When water in the rooting zone is limited, trees undergo physiological changes that affect their overall growth and health through water stress. This problem is particularly acute within forests in river floodplains in regions with warm, dry summers. Such forests provide a range of ecosystem services, but they are limited in area, species diversity, and are challenging to manage under a changing climate. There is currently limited understanding linking regional climate to water availability to water use by riparian trees across forests stands, which limits predictive capability of forest response to drought stress over decadal timescales.
'''Objectives:'''<br>
This project aims to build new understanding of the ecohydrological links between water availability and stress by employing an interdisciplinary set of research methods along the Rhône River, France. The project will compare the ecohydrological responses to climate in water availability at forest sites along a strong climatic gradient based on 3 existing field installations with ongoing data collection (upper, middle and lower Rhône).
Using hydroclimate data, alongside isotopes in waters and plants, the PhD student will address three research questions: i) How has groundwater versus surface water availability varied recently as a function of climate?; ii) How is water availability and water stress recorded in tree rings?; iii) Can riparian forest responses to water availability be predicted from hydrometeorological data, isotopes, and remote sensing?
In Year 1, the research will focus on analyzing the existing meteorological, soil moisture, groundwater, and river flow data at each site to understand the relationships between climate and water availability to plants.
In Year 2, the student will collect tree rings and extract cellulose to assess the isotopic signature of water use by the trees (δ18O) and their water use efficiency (δ13C), with interpretations supported by the monthly sampling of water fluxes and water source characterization.
In Year 3, the student will focus on remote sensing of Rhône riparian zone over the last several decades with an emphasis on the last few years (using Sentinel 2), which would enable connection of the dendro-isotopic work to canopy-level responses to water availability. This work will also be supported by some UAV flights to assess variations in canopy ET (from thermal data).
Three types of practical outputs are envisioned from this work in relation with other data provided by EUR community: i) better assess potential climate change effects on riparian vegetation at the corridor scale, considering local conditions (leveraging information from the OSR program), ii) predict and validate potential responses of riparian vegetation from water level variations associated with reach-scale river restoration (e.g., Pierre Benite, Peage de Roussillon), iii) design conservation and restoration programs that incorporate information on tree responses to changes in water availability (groundwater and soil moisture) and expected changes in riparian communities as well as health conditions from remote sensing data and thermal studies (supporting ongoing research done by Florentina Moatar). F. Moatar may provide potential support from INRAE in term of modelling and hydrological simulations (J.B. Faure, F. Granger, RiverLy). Isotope analysis can be done in LEHNA with partnership with Switzerland (WSL) for cellulose extraction.
The project is interdisciplinary in terms of the involvement of hydrology, ecology, and ecophysiology with a forest management perspective. Specifically, the project will involve the use and analysis of different types of data (climate data, water fluxes, dendro-isotopes, remote sensing) to explore plant responses to fluctuations in climatically controlled water availability.
The student will receive instruction in various field and laboratory skills including: tree coring, monitoring climate variables and hydrology, collecting field samples; isotopic analysis; data analysis. He/she will also gain understanding of ecohydrology and how plants respond to water variations in water availability. He/she will also be integrated into the research groups of Caylor (UCSB), Singer (Cardiff), Stella (SUNY-ESF), and Piegay (ENS).
The project is co-funded by the US National Science Foundation and EUR H2O’Lyon. Therefore, it links the prospective PhD student to an established team of American researchers at SUNY-ESF in Syracuse (New York) and UC Santa Barbara in California. There is also a strong budgetary investment from NSF in three well-instrumented sites in France along the Rhone River. The student will be able to take full advantage of the data generated from these sites over the last three years and to analyze in collaboration with this international research team. The student will be supported to travel to international conferences (e.g., EGU, AGU), where he/she will present his/her research, and he/she will also be hosted for a extended stay at UCSB, where he/she will take part and assist in teaching on a field course on ecohydrology. He/she will be supported to go to Switzerland to learn cellulose extraction from tree rings in WSL and the isotopic analysis will be done in the LEHNA.
How to Apply : Send of CV and a letter of motivation to herve.piegay@ens-lyon.fr before 30 July 2020.
