I have a 3-year PhD-position for a DFG-funded ecogeomorphology project in the Patagonian Andes of Chile (75% TVöD 13). The PhD student role will be on the integration of theory with field data. The PhD student will be the lead on (1) estimating biomass and soil organic carbon contents along disturbance gradients, (2) quantifying wind effects on hillslope stability using environmental seismology, and (3) develop a Landlab model to implement forest dynamics into a landslide probability model. The study area comprises parts the Pumalín National Park within the Coastal rainforests of Chilean Patagonia, one of the global biomass and biodiversity hotspots. At the same time, these forests are home to a particularly diverse landscape disturbance portfolio, including windstorms, earthquake, or volcanic eruptions. We seek to understand how forests control landslides and vice versa. A major focus of this project is to develop a Landlab-model that integrates forest dynamics, landscape disturbances with landsliding. This project includes field trips to Chilean Patagonia, physical experiments using state-of-the-art environmental seismology, and numerical modeling. The project will be headquartered at the Department of Environmental Sciences and Geography at Potsdam University, but may also include the possibility for (extended) stays at UW Seattle, CU Denver and UACh, Valdivia.
Students with a background in one or more of the following: Geoecology, Physical Geography, Ecology with strong quantitative skills are encouraged to apply. The project involves Landlab modeling, thus programming skills in Python are definitely a plus. Also, Spanish skills are a plus, while the willingness for field work is mandatory. If interested, please email me, and include a CV, and details on specific research interests, skills, and background applicable to the project, and the names and contact information of two references. Start can be as soon as possible. Review of applications starts as soon as possible until a suitable candidate has been found.

I have a funded M.S. student RA position starting Fall 2023 on vadose zone hydrology and the evolution of hydraulic properties of soils under different climate conditions.
The student will explore how climate change-driven land-use changes the water balance at the farm scale. This work will involve monitoring soil moisture and soil water potential in farms in the High Plains of eastern New Mexico, as well as measuring water holding capacity and soil organic carbon in active fields, recently fallowed land (likely a future pathway), and land that hasn't been farmed for 50+ years. Combined with estimating groundwater changes and evapotranspiration, the student will answer questions about likely changes in the farm-scale water balance under different climate change pathways. She will also inform water-constrained economic models built by collaborators.
Please contact Alex Rinehart (alex.rinehart@nmt.edu) for more information.

I have three PhD positions available to work on the boundaries and connections between tectonic geomorphology and the development of biodiversity:
These doctoral positions are part of a broader effort to explore and model the connections between landscape evolution and biological speciation and diversification over geological timescales. Collaborators within the Department of Environmental Sciences will also be involved in the project. The fundamental question to be addressed is how does tectonics affect physical geography or other landscape factors defining habitat and how does the change in those parameters over space and time impact speciation, species dispersal and biodiversity. Three specific case studies will be investigated to explore these questions.
# The first project will explore the early collisional orogeny in northern Taiwan and the establishment of topographic barriers to species migration. Focus will be on establishing timing of the early collision using thermochronometry and its relationship to established phylogenies.
# The second project will investigate the rate of landscape change in Madagascar with its extraordinary diversity of endemic species. Detrital cosmogenic radionuclide techniques will be combined with geomorphic analysis to establish rates and history of topographic evolution of the island and the relationship to species diversification and spatial distributions.
# The third project will study aquatic species of northern Italy through the use of environmental DNA to establish how the fluvial river network was impacted by the uplift of the Apennines and the establishment of a north-south barrier along Italy.
Details are at the link below. As always for doctoral positions in Europe, applicants must have completed a Masters degree at time of application.
