We are seeking an outstanding PhD candidat … We are seeking an outstanding PhD candidate to join a cutting-edge research project in deep-time</br>global landscape evolution modelling calibrated with geochronology. This project will be hosted within</br>the University of Sydney School of Geosciences, a vibrant, multidisciplinary community spanning</br>geology, geophysics, marine geoscience, geography, and environmental sciences.</br></br>This fully funded PhD scholarship is supported by BHP and offers an exceptional opportunity to</br>contribute to pioneering research at the interface of geochronology, geochemistry, thermochronology,</br>plate tectonic modelling and numerical landscape evolution simulations.</br></br>The School of Geosciences is a dynamic, collegial, and multi-disciplinary community of scholars and</br>students spanning geology, geophysics, marine geoscience, environmental studies and geography.</br>It is internationally recognised for excellence in both research and teaching. Our common passion is</br>to engage in research and teaching that promotes a better understanding of our world and its</br>challenges, and we address key issues facing society including climate change, resource</br>management and sustainability.</br></br>The School of Geosciences is firmly committed to creating a diverse and inclusive workplace,</br>improving equity, access and opportunity, and fostering an environment where individuality is</br>welcomed and celebrated.</br></br>About the Project</br>This PhD project will address how Earth’s surface systems evolve over geological time, by</br>integrating:</br>· Global landscape evolution models and source-to-sink sediment routing</br>· Thermochronology, geochronology, and geochemistry to calibrate and validate models</br>· Paleoclimate, tectonics, and paleogeographic reconstructions</br>· Quantitative modelling of erosion, sediment transport, and basin infill at regional to planetary</br>scales</br></br>You will work to uncover how landscapes evolve, sediments are recycled, and how Earth’s surface</br>interacts with climate and tectonics across hundreds of millions of years.</br></br>As a PhD candidate, your key responsibilities will include:</br>· Conducting independent and collaborative research within the project scope</br>· Developing and applying numerical models of deep-time landscape evolution</br>· Integrating global geochronological datasets to calibrate simulations</br>· Preparing peer-reviewed publications and presenting results at international conferences</br>· Contributing to team meetings, workshops, and optional mentoring/teaching activities</br></br>About you</br></br>We are looking for a candidate who demonstrates the University’s values of courage, creativity,</br>openness, inclusion, and integrity, and who has:</br>· A First Class Honours or Master’s degree in geoscience, Earth sciences, geophysics,</br>geography, or a related field</br>· Have a proven track record of developing innovative numerical workflows for geoscience</br>research</br>· Prior experience with numerical plate tectonic, thermomechanical and/or landscape</br>evolution modelling will be highly valued.</br>· Familiarity with geochronology-thermochronology systems is also favourable.</br>· Proficiency in scientific programming (Python, MATLAB, C, Fortran, or similar)</br>· Strong analytical skills, excellent written and verbal communication, and the ability to work</br>collaboratively in a diverse team</br></br>Why join us?</br></br>This position offers the opportunity to work in a vibrant and internationally connected research</br>environment at the University of Sydney. You will have the opportunity to work with project</br>supervisors Tristan Salles, Sabin Zahirovic and Samuel Boone, and be part of a dynamic team</br>tackling globally significant questions at the intersection of surface processes, geodynamics, and</br>climate change. You will have access to state-of-the-art facilities, high-performance computing</br>resources, and extensive collaborative networks across Australia, Asia, Europe, and North America.</br>The role provides excellent opportunities for career development, including mentoring, teaching</br>experience, and support to build your research profile. Living and working in Sydney, you will be</br>based in one of the world’s most liveable cities, with a thriving academic community and easy</br>access to Australia’s unique natural environments.o Australia’s unique natural environments.
