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,
there is an open postdoc position in Urban Ecohydrology at University College London. The selected postdoc will join the Urban Ecohydrology Lab (https://www.ucl.ac.uk/civil-environmental-geomatic-engineering/research/groups-centres-and-sections/urban-ecohydrology-lab) and will be responsible for carrying out research in the field of urban climate, land-atmosphere interactions and stochatic modeling of socio-ecological dynamics in urban environments. This is a one-year appointment with the possibility of extension for up to two more years.
A description of the position and the instructions to apply can be found at the UCL portal: https://atsv7.wcn.co.uk/search_engine/jobs.cgi?amNvZGU9MTg0Njg4NiZ2dF90ZW1wbGF0ZT05NjUmb3duZXI9NTA0MTE3OCZvd25lcnR5cGU9ZmFpciZicmFuZF9pZD0wJnZhY2Zpcm0udmFjdGl0bGU9ZWNvaHlkcm9sb2d5JnBvc3RpbmdfY29kZT0yMjQ%3D&jcode=1846886&vt_template=965&owner=5041178&ownertype=fair&brand_id=0&vacfirm.vactitle=ecohydrology&posting_code=224

Thank you very much - and apologies for any cross-postings. +
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.

Dear colleagues,<br>
I am writing to advertise an 18-month postdoctoral researcher position at the nexus of geomorphology and environmental justice in my lab group at Washington University in St. Louis. The postdoctoral researcher will work as part of a collaborative team, led by José Constantine (Williams) and myself.
The position is focused on exploring upland controls on floodplain channel dynamics and identifying drivers of flooding in the Centreville community in East St. Louis. You can read more about the historic flooding issues in Centreville here and about the broader project, here.
The main scientific objectives of the postdoctoral researcher are:
# identify sources of erosion and deposition in floodplain channel catchments through change-detection methods (UAV and ground-based SfM)
# identify timing and magnitude of flooding in floodplain channels (modeling and monitoring)
# quantify modern deposition rates (short-lived radiogenic nuclides).
As part of the larger team, the postdoctoral research will also have opportunities to
# Work with community stakeholders and advocates, including the Equal Housing and Opportunity Council of St. Louis, Equity Legal Services, and members of the Centreville community.
# Serve as a mentor for a paid summer internship to students from Harris-Stowe University, an HBCU based in St. Louis.
# Participate in drafting a final report based on results of the study, which will be used to guide future mitigation efforts.
Start date is flexible. Interested parties should contact me and José Constantine (jac9@williams.edu) with an up-to-date CV and a short statement of interest.
Please reach out to me if you have any questions about this opportunity.
