Two PhD Opportunities - Iapetus Doctoral Training Programme (check out the links for details)
1) Project on The origin of animals (https://iapetus2.ac.uk/studentships/the-origin-of-animals-building-a-precise-timeline-from-the-geological-record/)
2) Project on Computational innovation for the energy transition (https://iapetus2.ac.uk/studentships/computational-innovation-for-the-energy-transition-bayesian-stratigraphic-correlation-of-subsurface-data/)
PhD - Blue Carbon accumulation, transformation and storage
The project will be co-supervised by Craig Smeaton (University of St Andrews), Fred Worrall (Durham University) with Jessica Elias (Natural England).
The goal of the project is to bring together methodologies from peatland and marine science to better understand biogeochemical processes in saltmarsh environments.
Full details can be found at: https://iapetus2.ac.uk/studentships/blue-carbon-accumulation-transformation-and-storage-quantifying-biogeochemical-processes-in-saltmarsh-ecosystems/
If successful the project will be funded through the IAPETUS Doctorial Training Network (https://iapetus2.ac.uk/).
The deadline for application is the 3rd of January 2025, full details on How to Apply can be found at - https://iapetus2.ac.uk/how-to-apply/
3 PhD Candidate Opportunities
We are very happy to announce the new Marie Skłodowska-Curie Action - Doctoral Network INITIATE dedicate to Climate - Tectonics interactions using Big Data and Numerical models. INITIATE brings together 5 academic beneficiaries: University of Bergen, CNRS, University of Barcelona, University of Potsdam, and Helmholtz-Centre Potsdam - German Research Centre GFZ. It also includes 13 partners from the academic world (Université Paul Sabatier Toulouse III, IFP Energies nouvelles, University of Athens), the public sector (Institut of Cartography of Catalogna, UNESCO Geoparc Orígens, The Norwegian Water Resources and Energy Directorate), the energy industry (TotalEnergies, Repsol, Aker BP ASA, Equinor, Vulcan Energy Resources) and satellite data (GAF AG, DELPHI IMM GmbH).
We are looking for 3 doctoral candidates that will study interactions between tectonics and climate at different spatial (1 - 1000 km) and temporal (1 year -10 Ma) scales and how they control sediment distribution at the Earth's surface, landscape stability and associated geohazards, using numerical models informed by "big data".
HOW TO APPLY : See https://www.initiate-dn.eu/projects.html for information about the positions and how to apply.
