Employer: University of Michigan, Dept of Earth and Environmental Sciences
Location: Ann Arbor, Michigan, USA
Required education: PhD in geological sciences, hydrology, civil engineering or similar field.
Position description: The geomorphology research group at the University of Michigan invites applications for two postdoctoral research positions. Appointment start date is flexible between November 1, 2021 and May 1, 2022. Initial appointment for 1 year with potential for renewal for an additional 6 months to 1 year. Preference will be given to candidates with a PhD in geological sciences, hydrology, civil engineering or similar field. A successful candidate will have an emerging record of scholarly excellence and will be expected to work independently on internationally-based research objectives. Remote or flexible working arrangements will be considered to the extent that university policy allows.
The postdocs will integrate into a growing group at UM focused on the intersection of surface processes and societally relevant changes to natural landscapes. Specific project work involves participation in two externally funded proposals. The first project involves a collaborative NASA-funded effort aimed at predicting, mitigating and rapid response work related to large landslide events. The postdoc role will be focused on data integration from past events, model validation using event data, and development of regional scale rainfall triggered landslide models. c A second proposal involves a collaborative NSF-funded effort in the Nepalese Himalaya investigating how tectonics, erosion and weathering contribute to formation of the “critical zone” and how the critical zone is linked to generating damaging natural hazards such as landslides. A major focus of the project is to develop models of landscape evolution that account for the interconnected processes that regulate landsliding, which is a primary mechanism for hillslope erosion and lowering in tectonically-active mountain belts.
Priority will be given to applicants with any one of the following skills-sets: modeling surface processes, integration of geospatial data, modeling slope stability, or field-based geophysical data collection and processing. Specific experience may include but is not limited to: familiarity with GIS programs and management of large geospatial datasets, commercial limit equilibrium or finite element slope stability programs (such as GeoStudio, Slide, Plaxis); programming experience in Matlab, Python; implementation or development of landscape evolution models; satellite image interpretation, hydrologic modeling, shallow seismic and resistivity data collection and processing, and field work experience in international settings.
How to apply: Please contact Dr. Marin Clark (marinkc@umich.edu) with a cover letter, CV, research statement with POSTDOC APPLICATION in the subject line. Applicants should arrange for at least two letters of reference to be sent to the email address above. Applications will be reviewed on rolling basis until the position is filled.
The University of Michigan is strongly committed to diversity within its community and especially encourages applications from identity groups that broaden participation in the Earth and Environmental Sciences.

EnvSeis will train 12 early stage researchers (ESRs) in the emerging field of environmental seismology, in which seismic methods are used to study processes at or near the Earth's surface, such as landsliding, river sediment transport, debris flows, and glacial processes. Seismic techniques allow addressing challenges in the Earth surface sciences that are intractable by traditional observation methods. The capacity of environmental seismology has been proven, and first applications have been published. Yet, most current research in this field is conducted either by seismologists with an interest in Earth surface processes, or by Earth surface scientists who learned basic seismic methods. The DN EnvSeis will fully leverage the potential of environmental seismology by fusing these complementary perspectives. Bringing together 10 leading research groups from 7 countries, EnvSeis will train 12 ESRs in both seismology and Earth surface sciences, to lay the ground for a next strong generation of environmental seismologists. In their projects, the ESRs will address outstanding challenges in natural hazards, hydrology, geomorphology, and ocean sciences, applying seismic techniques to study a broad range of landscapes and their processes, including hillslopes, channels, glaciers, coasts and oceans. They will combine observation, theory and numerical modelling to conduct ground-breaking science, to develop new methods and software, and deliver benchmark data sets. As such, they will set standards for using seismic methods in the Earth surface sciences in Europe and beyond, establishing Europe as the leader in this newly emerging field. Complementary training includes the involvement of stakeholder and media partnerships, experience in organizing conferences and workshops, as well as courses on transferable skills. This will allow the ESRs to acquire a broad range of skills and experience to make them competitive for careers in research, industry, or public administration.

Five million tourists visit Monterey Bay each year because it is an incredible place to visit! Join the folks who call it "home."
The Department of Applied Environmental Science at California State University Monterey Bay invites applications for a tenure-track faculty position in Environmental Science at the assistant professor rank to begin in Fall 2022. We are seeking candidates with a demonstrated commitment to teaching and research in Earth surface processes, such as (but not limited to) fluvial geomorphology, stream hydrology, and wildfire-mediated hillslope dynamics.
Apply if your applied research could be described as Watershed Science!
CSUMB abuts 15,000 acres of oak woodland of the Fort Ord National Monument and is less than a mile from pristine beaches of Monterey Bay. A few miles south are Carmel and the wild beauty of the tectonically active Big Sur coast. A few miles northeast are the Salinas Valley and San Andreas Fault. The campus has fewer than 8,000 students. It is a great place to teach, do local research, and recreate.
Apply here!
