I’m looking for PhD students to join my group at the Department of Earth and Environmental Sciences at the University of Rochester in Rochester, NY starting in Fall 2021. I’m a geomorphologist interested in a wide range of topics, with a focus on self-organized patterns and how they can provide insight into natural processes. You can find out more about me here: http://www.rachelglade.com/.
Projects are open-ended and will be motivated by student interest. Methods can include physical experiments, fieldwork, numerical modeling, theory, and remote sensing. Here are some potential projects. Check out the prospective student page for more info.
- Soil transport and solifluction processes in arctic landscapes. Possibly involving “frozen hillslope” experiments in a walk-in climate chamber!
- Sediment diffusion in rivers
- Blocky hillslope evolution
- Something else you propose!
If you’re interested in working with me, I welcome you to contact me at rachel.glade@rochester.edu. Please send a brief description of your background and interests along with a resume or CV. I strongly encourage applications from members of underrepresented groups (or members of groups typically under-represented in geosciences and higher education). The University of Rochester is committed to creating a diverse workplace and an inclusive community: https://www.rochester.edu/diversity/.
The University of Rochester is a highly ranked research university, and the Rochester area's cultural, educational, and recreational assets frequently place it among the best places to live and work. You can have the feel of a big city while being minutes away from great outdoor opportunities- Lake Ontario, The Finger Lakes, Niagara Falls! And only a few hours away from Toronto.
