I wish to highlight a PhD position currently available at Monash University in glaciology and geomorphology: Evaluating the deglacial history of the East Antarctic ice sheet. The project involves glacial geomorphology, geochronology (Be-10 and C-14 exposure dating), with the option of numerical ice-flow modelling. There is also the possibility of field work in Antarctica.
The PhD candidate will work with Dr Richard Selwyn Jones, Prof. Andrew Mackintosh and researchers in the Monash Ice Sheet Initiative (MISI; https://www.icesheet.org/), in the School of Earth, Atmosphere & Environment, as part of a project funded by the Australian Research Council.
Funding, including stipend and fees, is available on a competitive basis. Candidates are expected to have a strong background in Geographical and Earth systems science, or in other physical sciences. Experience in geochemistry is desirable, but not essential.
Earth's systems impact everyone, irrespective of ethnicity, gender, age, religion, identity and experience. We are committed to creating an inclusive workplace culture, and value the many benefits offered by a diverse group of researchers.
Candidates should address enquiries to richard.s.jones@monash.edu. Please include in the email a 1-page letter of motivation, outlining your primary area of interest and reason for pursuing a PhD in this field, and your CV (including relevant academic grades and any publications).
The deadline for international students is 31 August 2021, and for domestic students (Australia/NZ) is 31 October 2021.
Please contact me as soon as possible if you are interested, and I can provide more details.
