Dear colleagues,
We are advertising several PhD positions related to the newly funded NSF project HISEAS: ‘How much and why did Ice Sheets melt during the Last Interglacial’. The project combines paleoclimate reconstruction, ice sheet modeling, and sea level analyses to understand conditions during the last interglacial (LIG) period, 125,000 years ago.

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,
I am currently recruiting for a PhD position associated with a recently funded SNF (Swiss National Fund) grant to use a study storm deposits from a process-sedimentology & stratigraphic approach at the University of Bern (CH).
This project aims to characterize storm-dominated successions in the field and seeks to understand the genesis of these features. The goals are to document large-scale architectures and facies distributions, interpret precise depositional environments, and understand associated forcing parameters.<br>The primary tasks for the PhD will be: 1. field-based stratigraphic logging and sedimentological characterization, 2. reconstruction of architectures from drone images, and 3. high resolution computed tomography of selected samples. Field work will target Permian deposits in Namibia and Ordovician successions in Morocco and Jordan.<br>The PhD candidate will work in close collaboration with the PIs to integrate the field data into a larger scale project including in-situ measurements of shallow marine processes as well as numerical modeling and analogue experiments of density currents.
The appointment is for 4 years. The PhD-student will be based at the Institut für Geologie, Universität Bern (CH) and supervised by Guilhem Amin Douillet. The PhD project is closely co-supervised by J.F. Ghienne (CNRS Strasbourg, FR), P. Razin (ENSEGID Bordeaux, FR) P. Dietrich (Geoscience Rennes, FR), F. Schlunegger (IFG Bern, CH). The project will start in early 2020.
Candidates should hold a MSc. degree with a prior experience in fluid dynamics, stratigraphy or numerical modeling. Ability and willingness to carry out challenging fieldwork is essential Experience with or motivation to learn German is important.
Interested candidates should send their application including a CV, short research statement, and contact information of two referees to Guilhem Amin Douillet (guilhem.douillet@geo.unibe.ch). Selection will start immediately and continue until the position is filled.
Please feel free to contact me for further questions and discussions.<br>

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. +
