I am looking for a motivated Ph.D. student to join my research group at the Department of Geosciences at Colorado State University starting in the Fall of 2022. The student will be a part of a project to study the erosion, uplift, and geodynamic history of southern Italy as a part of a recently funded NSF project. The project will involve a combination of fieldwork, Quaternary geochronology (e.g., cosmogenic nuclides, luminescence dating), and numerical modeling, as well as education and outreach. More details on the project can be found here. For more information about my research group, please visit https://seanfgallen.wordpress.com/.
Qualifications: MS (preferred) or BS/BA degree in Geology or related discipline, excellent communication, writing, and quantitative skills, and desire to integrate multiple techniques into research. The project will involve generating new code, so experience with Matlab, Python, or another programming language or a strong motivation to learn programming is key.
Interested students, please get in touch with me for more information.
I strongly encourage members of underrepresented groups to apply. Details on the application process and deadline can be found here.

I am looking for a post-doc supported on an NSF grant to explore links among weathering and hillslope and fluvial processes. The project is motivated by the processes controlling landscape evolution across the Luquillo Critical Zone Observatory, but these links will be explored broadly. The post-doc will be responsible for implementing in Landlab the equations presented in Sklar et al. (2017; Geomorphology) to understand how the size distribution of sediment supplied from hillslopes to rivers impacts fluvial incision and knickpoint migration.
The position is based at Tulane University in New Orleans working in Nicole Gasparini’s group, but the post-doc will be part of a broader team that includes Jane Willenbring (Scripps Institute, UC San Diego) and Leonard Sklar (Concordia University). Travel funds are available to visit the field area and to work with Dr. Sklar, as well as attend an conferences.
The position also involves outreach to K12 students with different learning needs. The post-doc will work with the team and Tulane undergraduates to design curriculum that uses 3D landscapes to teach kids who are visually impaired and have autism spectrum disorder about earth science.
Applicants should have a PhD in Earth Sciences, Environmental Engineering, Geography, or other related field by the time they start the position. (Start date is negotiable, but as soon as possible is ideal.) Ideally the candidate will have familiarity with geomorphic transport laws and recent literature in weathering, sediment transport, and bedrock fluvial erosion. Programming skills are required, ideally in Python.
Apply here (https://apply.interfolio.com/61290). Applications will be accepted until the position is filled, but review of applications will begin on April 15, 2019. The position is initially funded for one year, with the potential for a second year pending progress.
Please contact Nicole Gasparini with any questions. We are looking for a candidate who is comfortable working with a team of wonky surface process scientists who are passionate about how landscapes evolve, as well as maintaining personal health and the health of our scientific community.

I am looking for a postdoc to join my new group at Eawag (the Swiss Federal Institute for Aquatic Research), with a background in water resources, socio-environmental data science and/or water economics. The research topic is very flexible with a broad focus on the modelling and/or analysis of coupled human water systems. Current research within our group include (among others) (i) the relationship between water resources and armed conflict, (ii) the food-security implications of migration, trade, and global land acquisitions, (iii) the relationship between water security and human rights in the context of extractive industries, (iv) transboundary governance of internationally shared rivers and aquifers and (v) the detection and attribution of socio-hydrologic change in data-scarce environments. The position will be based in Dübendorf (Switzerland) with attractive salary and benefits and is ideal for a scholar seeking to develop their own research ideas with a view of entering the academic job market. The position start date would be September 1 2023 or later and the deadline to apply is July 5.

I am looking for an enthusiastic PhD candidate in isotope hydrology.
My Chair of Forest Sites and Hydrology represents the field matter and water cycling in forests. Research focuses on the challenges of global change for the establishment, transformation and management of forests linked to matter and water cycles.
The aim of this PhD position is to contribute to research focusing on isotope (eco)hydrology with a focus on water and isotope fluxes through forests. Tasks encompass field data collection of relevant ecohydrological fluxes in Saxon (DE) forest stands – both natural and reduced stem density stands. The aim is to determine the influence of management on the water supply of forests. This will be followed by a model-based assessment of the water cycle with a focus on hydroclimatic extremes (e.g., drought periods). The PhD Student will be able to further develop their own scientific profile, e. g. through courses offered by TUD’s graduate academy; as well as supervise BSc/MSc students under the professional responsibility of the chairholder.
Looking forward to your application.
Best,

I am looking for applicants for open PhD and/or MS assistantships in Fall 2023 within the Department of Oceanography & Coastal Science at Louisiana State University (https://www.lsu.edu/cce/academics/graduate/docs/index.php).
There are a few projects available funded by various entities including NSF, The US Army Corps of Engineers, and state funding in Louisiana:
# Monitoring of hydrodynamics across a network of stations throughout nearshore Louisiana (looking at waves, currents, water levels, meteorology). The student would also be tasked with calibrating ADCP backscatter to sediment concentrations in some fun laboratory experiments. We also might do some modeling and investigation of coastal water level variability and the relationship to climate.
# Investigating the flood risk reduction and eco-system co-benefits of natural and nature-based features in the Gulf Coast region. There are a number of possibilities here ranging from quantifying hydrology + water quality impacts, to morphodynamic analyses of nature-based features, to performing network/connectivity analyses of flooding control structures as part of a large, inter-disciplinary project.
# Morpho- and hydrodynamic evolution of the Mississippi Birdsfoot delta. Lots of flexibility here.
For consideration please email me (mhiatt1@lsu.edu) with your background, which project(s) you're interested in, and a CV before January 16, 2023.

I am looking for one postdoc and four graduate students to start Spring or Fall 2024 at the University of Texas Rio Grande Valley in Edinburg, Texas. Please take a look at the details in the attached documents.
Two master students will work on a project funded by the Department of Energy to evaluate mass (water, sediment, and nutrient) accumulation rate and patterns in topographic lows between abandoned channels of the Rio Grande Delta via field survey and numerical models. Students can also work on projects broadly defined in Earth and planetary surface processes. All four positions are fully funded with a tuition waiver!
The postdoc will be working on a project funded by the USGS to detect geomorphic change in the lower Rio Grande Valley using airborne LiDAR datasets collected in 2011 and 2022 and interpreting the geomorphic changes to address applied questions about the US-Mexico border and the Rio Grande. The project is a collaboration between UTRGV, the University of Texas at Austin (Dr. Tim Goudge), and the USGS center (Dr. Joel Sankey and David Dean) in Flagstaff, Arizona. Funding is available for traveling to the former two institutions for mentorship and to AGU annually.
Please share the attached PDFs. Thank you so much.
