University of Toulouse, , France
Apply before: 15 November 2021

Posting: Position: PhD Position Apply before: 15 November 2021

We are seeking a PhD student to join the geomorphology group at the Geosciences Environnement Toulouse (GET), University of Toulouse, France. The student will work on a project funded by the French national agency of research. The overall goal of the project is to advance our quantitative understanding of valley widening in mountain landscapes. The 3 years thesis project includes the use of cosmogenic isotopes and numerical modelling of landform evolution. Samples will be collected in Chilean and Peruvian Andes, as well as in southeastern France.

The PhD student will receive training in cosmogenic nuclide not only at GET but also at the CRPG and CEREGE labs, partners of the project, all with excellent lab facilities for cosmogenic nuclide geochemistry. The PhD student will also receive training in numerical modelling of landscape evolution. The PhD will be supervised by Sébastien Carretier and Vincent Regard at GET and will benefit from a large network of collaborations in France, Chile and Peru.

We are looking for a student with a strong background in earth sciences, attracted by fieldwork, laboratory work and numerical modelling. The 3 years PhD project will start as soon as possible in 2022. Application (CV, letter and names and contact information of three references) should be sent to Sébastien Carretier (sebastien.carretier@get.omp.eu) and Vincent Regard (vincent.regard@get.omp.eu) before the 15th of November.

Best regards,
Sébastien and Vincent
