Dear colleagues,
I like to call your attention to a tenure-track opening (assistant or associate) in the Geography Department at Syracuse, New York. The full job description is at www.sujobopps.com/postings/94570, but here is an excerpt with some key points:
We seek to hire a broadly trained physical geographer whose research and teaching focus on the response of landscape (geomorphic and/or ecological) dynamics to climate change, and who can make substantial technical and theoretical contributions that complement existing areas of expertise at Syracuse University. Candidates should demonstrate clear evidence of potential for a strong research program and successful teaching, as well as a demonstrated commitment to promoting diversity, equity, and inclusion. We are particularly interested in hiring an environmental scientist who incorporates geospatial technologies (GIS, remote sensing, UAVs), modeling, and/or analysis of large datasets (i.e., 'big data') into their research and teaching. The successful candidate will be poised to make significant contributions to our department's cluster in Physical Geography, Environmental Science and Landscape Processes, as well as other research and teaching clusters, according to their expertise.
Please feel free to contact the search committee chair, Dr. Jake Bendix (jbendix@syr.edu) with any questions about the position, the department, and the community.

Dear colleagues,
If you know of an undergraduate student looking for a MS project, or a MS student looking for a PhD project in coastal hazards and resilience, I am looking for an MS or PhD student for a funded project. The project is hosted in the Department of Geosciences, but is part of the Disaster Resilience and Risk Management program (https://www.drrm.fralin.vt.edu/index.php) and the Coastal Hazards group (http://coastalhazardsvt.weebly.com) within Virginia Tech’s Center for Coastal Studies (https://coastal.fralinlifesci.vt.edu). The project is partially funded by the United States Coastal Research Program and the National Science Foundation. Sponsor requirements limit the funding to United States citizens and greencard holders.
The focus of the project ranges from quantitative compound flooding analysis via the development of low-fidelity regional models to model reduction. The project will make use of Virginia Tech’s Advanced Research Computing facilities (https://www.arc.vt.edu), and the candidate will be integrated in an interdisciplinary student cohort within the Center for Coastal Studies.
If you know of a student who might be interested in such a project, please encourage the student to email me at weiszr@vt.edu. +

Dear colleagues,
the Department of Geosciences of the University of Padova offers a fully funded 3 years PhD scholarship on topics related with modelling of sediment connectivity, sediment transport and fluvial geomorphology.
'''PhD Project:'''<br>
This project aims to quantify the reliability of transport and sediment connectivity modelling results within river networks. To assess such reliability, the candidate will first adopt global sensitivity analysis techniques and apply them to existing network-scale sediment transport models (such as CASCADE). The analysis will identify in this way the input parameters that most affect the model simulation results and assess how the network system responds under their variation (such as under different drivers and sediment supplies). Based on such modelling evidence, field data and remotely sensed data analysis will be then used for validation.
Throughout the project, the candidate together with the research team will collect data in selected case studies. Examples of surveys are: surface grain size collection, estimates of sediment inputs from slopes and tributaries, sediment transport estimates from DoD analysis (e.g. generated by drone acquisitions), monitoring of sediment path-lengths through tracers (e.g. RFID).
The Phd will also spend a period abroad at the University of Bristol, Department of Civil Engineering Water and Environmental Engineering, Cabot Institute for the Environment, with Dr Francesca Pianosi to gain expertise on the use of the open-source SAFE Toolbox for sensitivity analysis.
Interested candidates must possess knowledge about fluvial geomorphology, and sediment transport, and some experience with geospatial modeling and programming (e.g. Python and GIS).
I encourage any interested candidate to write to me for additional information and send me a CV and a short motivational letter before the 14th of May.

Dear colleagues,
we are seeking a highly motivated candidate for a fully funded 3-year-PhD-project to study Holocene and Late Pleistocene sedimentation and deformation patterns at the northwestern Indian Himalayan front. The project is a joint study between the Christian-Albrechts-University Kiel and the University of Potsdam.
The aim of the project is to better understand the feedbacks and interactions between tectonics, erosional processes, and spatiotemporal behavior of orogenic wedges. Modeling studies of foreland systems adjacent to wedge-shaped fold-and-thrust belts suggest that the long-term interaction between deformation, topographic growth, and erosional processes may ultimately dictate the locus of tectonic activity. Importantly, changes in sediment loads within the wedge alter the crustal stresses and may thus modify the activity of linked thrust-faults arrays, which makes seismic hazard assessment of such regions a daunting tasks. Accordingly, this change in the net mass balance may in turn play a role in changing the regional deformation pattern of the Himalayan orogenic wedge by (re-) activating fault arrays, and inducing earthquakes in different seismotectonic sectors. Unambiguous field validation and the recognition of the most relevant timescales over which such forcing mechanisms may be active are the ultimate goal of this study.
Candidates must have a MSc or equivalent degree and fluently speak English. Experiences with foreland basin tectonics and sedimentation, tectonic geomorphology, and various Quaternary dating techniques is an asset. Good knowledge of the mathematical and physical description of process models will be an advantage. Chemistry lab experience will be a further advantage. Command of the German language is welcome but not required.
The application should contain a cover letter with your motivation and CV (containing a complete overview of education, supervised professional training and professional work) and publications (if applicable), as well as the name and contact information of at least two references.
Further inquiries about the position can be obtained contacting Rasmus Thiede (CAU-Kiel) or Bodo Bookhagen (Univ. Potsdam).
Applications should be sent as a single pdf file (max 5 MB) to rasmus.thiede@ifg.uni-kiel.de and will be accepted until End of January and until the position is filled. Candidates are expected to start during the first half of 2020.
