PhD Opportunities at Washington University in St. Louis
Washington University in St. Louis, Missouri, United States
Start reviewing process: 11 October 2022


I am recruiting interested PhD students to join my research group at Washington University in St. Louis for the Fall 2023 academic year.


Projects should largely be dictated by individual research interests, but jumping off points include fluvial sediment transport, bedrock erosion mechanics, rocky coast geomorphology, and environmental seismology.

The WUSTL geomorphology lab uses a combination of approaches, including (but not limited to) physical experiments, numerical methods, near-surface geophysics, and other field observations. Students and postdocs are expected to be comfortable with quantitative methods of scientific inquiry. More information can be found on our laboratory webpage (https://sites.wustl.edu/wustl-geomorphology/).

Interested students and postdocs are encouraged to contact me directly (cmasteller@gmail.com) and include a brief description of research interests and a copy of their CV/transcript.

The Department of Earth and Planetary Sciences (https://artsci.wustl.edu/) at WUSTL houses a diverse set of researchers with strengths in geochemistry, geophysics, geobiology, and planetary science. WUSTL EPS also has strong ties with the Tyson Environmental Research Center and Field Station (https://tyson.wustl.edu/), the McDonnell Center for Space Sciences (https://mcss.wustl.edu/), the Fossett Lab for Virtual Planetary Exploration (https://virtualplanet.wustl.edu/), and the Taylor Geospatial Institute (https://taylorgeospatial.org/).

Please feel free to forward to anyone that may be interested.

All the best,
Claire
