PhD and Postdoc Positions Available Related to Drainage Reorganization in the Tibetan Plateau
Louisiana State University, Louisiana, United States
Start reviewing process: 30 November 2019


Hello All,

I’m currently recruiting for a PhD and a 1 year postdoc position associated with a recently funded NSF grant to study the role of the uplift of the Gangedese Mountains within the Himalayan-Tibetan orogen on drainage reorganization within the southern margin of the Tibetan plateau. This project is in collaboration with Andrew Laskowski at the Montana State University and Mike Taylor at the University of Kansas. The primary tasks for both the PhD and postdoc will be landscape evolution modeling and topographic analysis / topographic tool development. Both the PhD and postdoc will be working closely with the other PIs and their students to integrate new field data into the landscape evolution models being developed by the LSU based team.


For the postdoc position, I am ideally looking for someone with prior experience in landscape evolution modeling and/or python (we will be using LandLab). A more formal advertisement for the postdoc will appear in the coming months. The start date for the postdoc is flexible, with the earliest possible start date being sometime in early 2020. For the PhD student, I am recruiting for the fall semester of 2020. If you are interested in either position, please feel free to contact me or find me at GSA or AGU. If you know of someone who might be interested in either position, please forward this email onto them.


Thank you,
