A graduate student (PhD) position in aeolian geoscience is available in the Earth, Planetary, and Space Sciences department at UCLA for students starting Fall 2022. The selected student will work on projects related to aeolian geoscience, including, but not limited to, a field-heavy study of modern dunes in the American Southwest. The selected student may also pursue projects related to aeolian geology and geomorphology on other planets (Mars, Venus, etc), projects involving numerical modeling of dunes, or experimental projects using UCLA's sediment transport wind tunnel. Demonstrated field experience/competence is a strict requirement. Students interested in completing a PhD in either Geology or Planetary Science are welcome to apply.
This project is supported by a funded NSF grant and graduate students in EPSS at UCLA are generally guaranteed funding support for the 5 years of their academic degree.
Interested prospective students should send a resume/CV to Professor Mackenzie Day at daym@epss.ucla.edu
