Two PhD Positions in Landscape Response to Retreating Glaciers
3 weken geleden
We are seeking two highly motivated PhD candidates to join our research team at VU Amsterdam. The successful candidates will contribute to a project examining the interactions among erosion, topography, and sediment fluxes over millennial timescales in the Western Southern Alps of New Zealand.
Project OverviewThe project aims to understand how retreating glaciers shape Earth's surface and how these dynamics unfold over long timescales. The research will focus on the interactions among erosion, topography, and sediment fluxes, and how they are influenced by tectonics. The project will consist of two tightly integrated PhD positions:
PhD A: Quantifying Post-Glacial Erosion and Sediment DynamicsThis project will employ a combination of well-established and innovative geochronological techniques to examine the erosion rates and sediment dynamics in the Southern Alps of New Zealand. The successful candidate will collect samples across a gradient of tectonic and climatic conditions.
PhD B: Developing a Next-Generation Landscape Evolution ModelIn this project, you will develop a new landscape evolution model designed to simulate hillslope processes and fluvial dynamics during deglaciation. The model will also simulate the accumulation and transport of geochronological tracers and track sediment provenance. The successful candidate will conduct a data collection field campaign in the Southern Alps of New Zealand.
RequirementsWe are looking for highly motivated and talented individuals with a strong background in Earth Sciences or related fields. The successful candidates will have a MSc degree (or equivalent) and be comfortable working in a team and in close collaboration with other PhD students. They will also be eager to learn how to write journal articles in English, culminating in a dissertation, and publishing these in leading scientific journals.
What We OfferWe offer a guaranteed monthly salary of €2,000 before taxes, tuition fees, and funding for field work, analytical expenses, conferences, and travel. You will also have the opportunity to join a new research group in the Netherlands that integrates numerical and analytical techniques to study how environmental changes drive landscape evolution.
How to ApplyInterested candidates should submit their application, including a CV, a cover letter, and contact information for two academic references. We particularly encourage people from under-represented groups to apply.
