We are advertising several PhD projects on the glacial history of the Antarctic Ice Sheet and sub-Antarctic. The projects will principally involve glacial geomorphology and cosmogenic exposure dating, with the option of numerical ice-flow modelling.
Associated with these projects, there is potential to join field programs and/or work on samples collected from Mac.Robertson Land, Denman Glacier, Enderby Land, and Heard Island over the coming years.
The PhD candidates would work as part of the Securing Antarctica's Environmental Future program (https://arcsaef.com/) in the Monash Ice Sheet Initiative group (https://www.icesheet.org/) within the School of Earth, Atmosphere & Environment in Melbourne, Australia.
Please forward this email on to potential candidates.
Candidates should address enquiries to andrew.mackintosh@monash.edu and richard.s.jones@monash.edu (cc both). Please include in the email a 1-page letter of motivation (outlining research background and reason for pursuing a PhD in this field), CV (including relevant academic grades and any publications), and copies of academic transcripts.
Funding including stipend, fees and project costs is available on a competitive basis. The deadline is 31 July 2022.
Earth's systems impact everyone, irrespective of ethnicity, gender, age, religion, neurodiversity, identity and experience. We are committed to creating an inclusive workplace culture, and value the many benefits offered by a diverse group of researchers. We heartily encourage applicants from diverse backgrounds to apply. This position is open to all nationalities.
Good health,
