PhD opportunity in landscape evolution and landslide processes
Employer: University of Michigan, Dept of Earth and Environmental Sciences
Location: Ann Arbor, Michigan, USA
Salary: Tuition, stipend, and benefits. The Dept of Earth and Environmental Sciences guarantees 12 month/ year funding to PhD student contingent on good standing and progress toward degree for four or five years.
Required education: Bachelors or MS degree in geological sciences, hydrology, civil engineering or similar field.
Position description: The geomorphology research group at the University of Michigan invites applications for a PhD student opportunity in Earth and Environmental Sciences. Preference will be given to candidates with background in geological sciences, hydrology, civil engineering or similar field. A successful candidate will have an emerging record of scholarly independence and previous work or research experience.
The PhD student 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 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. The PhD student role will be on the integration of theory with field data. Specific activities include working with landslide modules within community-based landscape evolution models and evaluating field data to test various theories relating geomorphic processes to tectonics. We seek to understand how erosion rates and processes (e.g. transition to landslide-dominated erosion) relates to fracturing and weathering of the underlying rock mass and how these processes are derived from the larger tectonic system. The larger collaborative project involves a lively group of team members from other universities in the US, UK and Nepal including faculty, research scientists, postdocs and graduate students with expertise in geotechnical engineering, remote sensing, geophysics, geochemistry and hydrology.
Individuals interested in applying to graduate school at the University of Michigan to pursue this research project should first contact Dr. Marin Clark (marinkc@umich.edu) with a short description of research interests and relevant experience, and PHD APPLICATION in the subject line. Admission to the graduate program is prioritized for students who have established a faculty connection prior to the graduate admissions deadline in early January. The Department of Earth and Environmental Sciences is a top-ranked, energetic community committed to advancing scientific knowledge with substantial student engagement and training opportunities. The University of Michigan is a major public research institution located in Ann Arbor, Michigan, a vibrant college community in the southeastern portion of the state. The state lies within the Great Lakes region of the US, a place of substantial history and natural beauty, with many recreational activities indoor and out.
The University of Michigan is strongly committed to diversity within its community and actively recruits applications from identity groups that broaden participation in the Earth and Environmental Sciences.

PhD position in Evapotranspiration processes and estimation in northern environments available at the Department of Geosciences, University of Oslo. The fellowship period is up to 4 years, with 3 years devoted to research education. Deadline 24 April 2019.
The position entails a compulsory work load of 25% that consists of teaching and supervision duties, and research assistance. Starting date no later than 01.10.2019
The PhD project aims to derive improved evapotranspiration estimates for northern environments closing critical knowledge gaps, and will revisit paradigms and parameterisation schemes for estimating ET suitable for high latitude regions, separately accounting for interception and transpiration. It will further assess the sensitivity in ET estimates to climate and surface conditions using land surface and hydrological models as well as targeted experiments. Model platforms used within the group include, but are not limited to, the land surface model CLM, and the hydrological model Shyft; models that are used to develop and test parameterizations for a variety of processes. The candidate will interact with model developers within LATICE and contribute to model testing and improvements with a special focus on the parametrization of evapotranspiration.
The successful candidate will work in the LATICE (“Land-ATmosphere Interactions in Cold Environments”) research group with scientists with expertise within various disciplines related to observing, analyzing and parameterization of the land surface. The PhD candidate will be part of a motivated research team with a high number of early career scientists working together in a highly interdisciplinary environment.

PhD position in the Climatic Research Unit (CRU), School of Environmental Sciences, University of East Anglia (UEA)
'''HOW CAN WE CHARACTERISE EXTREME DROUGHTS FOR WATER MANAGEMENT UNDER CLIMATE CHANGE?'''
Dear Colleagues
This PhD position starts in October 2023 and has 3.5 years funding for UK applicants (or EU students with settled status).
Water companies must assess their resilience to extreme droughts that occur so rarely that they are poorly known from our observational data. Solving this is an exciting challenge. It will require a multi-method assessment to be undertaken, combining information from thousands of years of climate simulations, using newly rescued rainfall observations and tree-ring reconstructions of past droughts, and using statistical techniques to determine the characteristics of the extreme events.
The project is co-funded by Anglian Water which provides the perfect opportunity to collaborate with industry practitioners and to explore the links between droughts defined by precipitation, riverflow or water resource system deficits.
Details of the project and HOW TO APPLY are here:

PhD positions on active surface processes are available in Monash University's School of Earth, Atmosphere and Environment (https://www.monash.edu/science/schools/earth-atmosphere-environment). These positions are 3 to 3.5 years long, fully-funded (tuition + stipend), and commence between July and December 2022. Applications are due by May 31st for domestic applicants and March 31st (very soon!) for international applicants. Further admissions information can be found here: https://www.monash.edu/science/schools/earth-atmosphere-environment/postgrad.
Students will join the new Monash Geomorphology Lab (https://www.geomorphlab.org/) and be supervised by Andrew Gunn (https://research.monash.edu/en/persons/andrew-gunn). Projects will focus on understanding generic surface processes and can include planetary (i.e. Mars, Titan and Venus) or anthropogenic climate change applications. Potential projects include:
* Fieldwork on aeolian (wind-blown) linear sand dunes in Australia
* Experiments on dunes made in flow from more than one direction
* Simulations on the stability of drainage networks to perturbation
Please send expressions of interest (include academic CVs and up-to-date unofficial transcripts) or questions to a.gunn@monash.edu. Experience in geomorphology, programming or physics are preferable but not essential. Students who identify within groups minoritized in the geosciences are encouraged to apply.
All the best,
Andrew
