Within a collaborative project between the Universities of Potsdam (Germany), Rennes (France), Bologna (Italy) and Tirana (Albania) linked to the DFG Priority Programme “Plate Deformation and Geohazards: The Eastern Margin of the Adriatic Plate (DEFORM)” (https://www.dfg.de/de/aktuelles/neuigkeiten-themen/info-wissenschaft/2024/ifr-24-43), we currently have openings for two 3-year PhD projects.
- Project 1, based at the University of Potsdam and funded by the DFG, will focus on crustal vertical motions, relief and drainage development at the Dinarides-Hellenides transition using thermochronology and cosmogenic-nuclide data. See a detailed description here: https://www.uni-potsdam.de/fileadmin/projects/geo/Avatar/Call_PhD_DFG_project.pdf.
- Project 2, based at the University of Rennes and the University of Potsdam, and funded by the UP in the framework of the German-French professorship program, will focus on crustal deformation and basin evolution in the South Balkan subduction–collision transition zone. See a detailed description here: https://www.uni-potsdam.de/fileadmin/projects/geo/Avatar/Call_PhD_UFA-DFH_project.pdf.
 
Details on how to apply are given in the links above. We aim to start both PhD projects by January next year. The deadline for applications is October 1st.
