Postdoctoral Researcher: Investigating Himalayan Glacier Dynamics

3 weken geleden


Utrecht, Utrecht, Nederland Universiteit Utrecht Voltijd

A unique opportunity to advance our understanding of glacier dynamics in the Himalayas through a postdoctoral research position.

This two-year position offers a chance to investigate the dynamics of lake-terminating glaciers using state-of-the-art modelling, remote sensing techniques, and field measurements.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Investigate the calving behaviour of lake-terminating glaciers and the additional mass loss resulting from proglacial lake formation.
  • Assist in a field campaign to the Himalayas to collect data on glacier thickness, surface properties, and lake bathymetry.
  • Simulate a selected lake-terminating glacier in the Himalayas using a glacier ice flow model and validate the results using in-situ and remote sensing data.

Requirements:

  • PhD in glaciology, geosciences, or a related field obtained within the past five years.
  • Experience in numerical modelling, preferably in glacier dynamics.
  • Previous field experience and ability to conduct fieldwork in challenging conditions.
  • Familiarity with remote sensing techniques.
