We are seeking applicants for two NSF funded PhD positions to begin summer (preferably) or fall 2019. The students will join a project to investigate bedload transport in ephemeral channels. We will use direct measurements from the Arroyo de los Pinos sediment station to calibrate seismic and acoustic surrogates and explore the ability of dense nodal arrays to distinguish sediment transport from turbulence in relatively fine-grained systems.
We welcome applications from motivated students with geomorphic and/or geophysical research experience. Ideal candidates will have an MS in geophysics, hydrology, geology, or a related field; a strong quantitative background; and the ability to work in challenging field situations collecting data during desert flash floods. The students will be located at New Mexico Tech, with collaborators in Israel, Germany, and France. NMT is a Hispanic Serving Institution, and we encourage applicants from all backgrounds.
If interested, please contact PIs Sue Bilek (susan.bilek@nmt.edu) and Dan Cadol (daniel.cadol@nmt.edu). The NMT graduate application submission site is https://www.nmt.edu/gradstudies/admissions.php. Project collaborators include John Laronne (Ben Gurion Univ.), Jens Turowski (GFZ Potsdam), Florent Gimbert (CNRS Grenoble), and David Varyu (US Bureau of Reclamation).Of interest for: Terrestrial Working Group Hydrology Focus Research Group
