PhD studentship opportunity in Geophysical Volcanology (Italian volcano focus)
FULLY FUNDED Competition PhD studentship opportunity in Geophysical Volcanology (Italian volcano focus)
Open to UK and non-UK nationals!
“Understanding volcanic unrest at Italian volcanoes with multi-disciplinary data, machine-learning, and numerical modelshttps://www.exeter.ac.uk/study/funding/award/?id=5428”
Description:
To enable eruption forecasting, carry out hazard assessment, and mitigate risk, a thorough understanding of volcanic unrest is essential. Italy is home to several active volcanic systems, some of which have undergone recent volcanic eruption or unrest (e.g., Etna, Vulcano, Stromboli, Campi Flegrei), often posing a threat to local populations. This PhD project will exploit recent advances in numerical modelling and machine learning (ML) data processing and assimilation techniques to develop new workflows that can interpret deformation, seismic, and other geophysical datasets. Data collection and target volcanoes within Italy will be co-developed with the PhD student according to personal interest and volcanic activity levels, alongside project co-supervisors from the INGV (Istituto Nazionale di Geofisica e Vulcanologia) and BGS (British Geological Survey). Using numerical modelling and the newest ML techniques, the student will simulate the observed multidisciplinary geophysical data to constrain the mechanisms driving volcanic unrest and compare different volcanic systems. Results may be used by the INGV as part of their appointed volcano monitoring and hazard assessment responsibilities, and the student will spend time hosted in Italy with the INGV, where they may also conduct some fieldwork, and at the BGS in Scotland.

The Department of Earth and Planetary Sciences (EPS) at Yale University invites applications for a full-time instructional (non-tenure-track) appointment in the broadly defined area of climate and energy studies, to begin July 1, 2025. Salary and rank are commensurate with experience and qualifications. A Lecturer appointment may be for up to 3 years, and a Senior Lecturer appointment may be for up to 5 years. There are no limits on reappointment, provided there is successful performance and curricular need. The primary duties of this position include (1) teaching applied-science and science-policy courses in the topical areas of energy resources and technologies, (2) teaching courses in topical areas of climate-change impacts and mitigation strategies, and (3) advising a limited number of undergraduate senior-essay and senior-thesis projects in the departments of Earth and Planetary Sciences, Environmental Studies, or other departments in Yale College, depending on the candidate's a
rea of expertise.
We seek candidates with backgrounds that complement the existing strengths of the EPS Department and the University. Evidence of teaching aptitude is desirable, and research experience that informs the candidate's teaching is welcome. While this position is fully instructional during the academic year, the successful applicant may develop a self-directed, externally funded research program with committed effort during the summer months, and will have access to technical and academic resources within the University. A secondary appointment in a research faculty rank would be granted to accommodate summer effort committed to external awards.
The Yale EPS Department is committed to fairness, equity, and inclusion of all people from all backgrounds. We value diversity among our students, staff, and faculty and strongly welcome applications from all genders, and from persons with disabilities, protected veterans, and underrepresented minorities. Yale University is an Affirmative Action/Equal Opportunity employer.
Applicants should submit (1) a letter of application (~1 page), (2) a curriculum vitae including a full list of publications, and (3) a statement of interests in teaching, mentoring, and broader impacts (2-3 pages). Broader impacts may include, for example, public education and outreach activities, impacts on diversity, equity, and inclusion, efforts to strengthen academic communities, and other positive societal benefits. While broader impacts may include efforts to promote diversity, the statement is not required to focus on this topic. Applicants should arrange for three confidential letters of recommendation to be uploaded. Candidates must have a Ph.D. or equivalent degree at the time of hire. Appointment at the rank of Senior Lecturer requires at least six academic years (or the equivalent) of full-time teaching experience, along with fulfillment of additional criteria outlined at https://nam04.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Ffas.yale.edu%2Ffaculty-appointments-promotions%2Fdocuments-resources%2Fcriteria-lecturer-track&data=05%7C02%7Cwstevenh%40vt.edu%7C680ab464e124468df17108dd041781fe%7C6095688410ad40fa863d4f32c1e3a37a%7C0%7C0%7C638671221627778262%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJFbXB0eU1hcGkiOnRydWUsIlYiOiIwLjAuMDAwMCIsIlAiOiJXaW4zMiIsIkFOIjoiTWFpbCIsIldUIjoyfQ%3D%3D%7C0%7C%7C%7C&sdata=7dU0SMUaWZe3B15VT3oWc8ZXsoCXb48fE%2B8D01Q57gU%3D&reserved=0.

PhD and Postdoc positions for a geomorphology cyberinfrastructure project
Dear colleagues,
A multi-institution team spanning UMN, UC Riverside, CU Boulder, and Texas
A&M are beginning a 4-year NSF-funded project to build cyber infrastructure
for sharing and analyzing common data products across geomorphology.
*We have three PhD student opportunities, and one postdoc opportunity
funded through this project.* The whole PI team will work closely together
and the students and postdoc working on this project can anticipate being
part of a cohort, visiting the other institutions often and collaborating
as part of a team.
Potential projects will revolve around the Salton Sea, CA, USA. Due to
water shortages in the Colorado River, the Salton Sea is quickly shrinking,
exposing the lake bed to wind that blows potentially hazardous dust into
nearby communities.
The potential science outcomes and topics are quite flexible, but will
broadly address aspects of this societally-relevant geomorphological
problem. However, all of the work for this proposal will heavily involve
computational tools, software development, and a wide range of other
research approaches spanning field work, remote sensing, and physical
experiments.
*If you are a soon-to-graduate PhD student looking for a postdoc*, please
reach out to *Eric Barefoot *(eric.barefoot@ucr.edu) at UC Riverside.
Preferred qualifications include strong computational literacy, fluency in
python, and an interest in developing computational tools to accelerate
science.
*If you are seeking a PhD program*, reach out to either *Eric
Barefoot* or *Andrew
Moodie *(amoodie@tamu.edu), there are three PhD positions available, two
will be based at Texas A&M, and one at UC Riverside. We anticipate matching
students to each institution based on research interests. A major component
of these projects will involve computation, so computer science,
mathematics, and coding skills are a plus, *however*, the only requirement
is that applicants should be eager to gain these skills.
*If you are a faculty member* with promising students who would fit these
descriptions, please refer them to us, or reach out to us directly to
recommend them and provide some contact information. Thank you for your
help as we recruit to assemble a strong cohort that will thrive and support
our project.
Sincerely,
Eric Barefoot and Andrew Moodie

PhD Studentship in global seismology at the University of Oxford
I would like to make you aware of a fully funded PhD studentship in global seismology at the University of Oxford.
The project, entitled Solving mid mantle mysteries using seismology, geodynamics and mineral physics focuses on a robust characterisation and interpretation of seismic structures in the mid mantle. This depth interval appears unremarkable at first, but in fact may conceal significant changes in mineralogy and viscosity that affect global mantle convection. Somewhere in the mid mantle, the short-scale, surface dominated features that we find in the upper mantle disappear and give way to a long-wavelength, basal structure. Constraining where, why and how this profound change occurs is vital for understanding global mantle flow and determining how deep the influence of the surface reaches into our planet.
Full funding is provided by the Royal Society and covers stipend and fees for four years for applicants eligible for UK home-student status. International students may also apply, but would need to receive additional, competitively awarded funding through other sources.
For further details, please have a look at these relevant links:

Vacancy for Research Fellow - Seismologist at the UWI Seismic Research Centre: The UWI Seismic Research Centre (SRC) was set up in 1953 and became part of The UWI in 1962. From its headquarters in Trinidad, it operates a network of seismograph stations extending from Trinidad and Tobago through the Lesser Antilles to St. Kitts. The SRC is responsible for monitoring earthquake and volcanic activity in these 11 islands. Persons interested in this post are strongly advised to visit our website at http://www.uwiseismic.comhttp://www.uwiseismic.com/ to learn more about the operations of the SRC.
The main method of day-to-day monitoring of these phenomena is the operation of over 60 instruments that comprise a mixture of three-component broadband seismograph stations, three-component short-period seismometers, strong motion stations and single vertical component stations. All three-component stations send their data and those from associated single component stations, to Trinidad using satellite and/or internet technology. Other monitoring techniques in use include ground deformation measurement and thermal and geochemical (gas and water chemistry) measurements. The SRC has an active programme of research in the field of geoscience aimed at complementing hazard awareness, risk assessment and early warning. The Seismologist will be expected to work with a team of seismic analysts, earth scientists and engineers to provide real-time earthquake and volcanic surveillance in the Eastern Caribbean. He/She will be expected to develop a research program, in collaboration with other staff members, with the overall aim of improving the understanding of tectonic and volcanic processes, as well as the hazards associated with the regional geodynamic processes.

Cores to Code (C2C) 3-week summer research experience
Program Overview
https://cascadiaquakes.org/geoscience-education-and-inclusion/cores2code/
Cores to Code (C2C) is a 3-week summer research experience that will delve into the interdisciplinary study of the earthquake and tsunami history of the Cascadia subduction zone. The program will be based out of Cal Poly Humboldt, a minority-serving institution. Students will conduct geologic fieldwork in Humboldt Bay coastal marshes, collect marsh sediment cores, conduct laboratory analysis on the cores, and explore how these geologic data are integrated into the geophysical models that help characterize past earthquakes along the Cascadia subduction zone. At the end of the program, students will synthesize and present their findings to their peers, mentors, and local community.
C2C seeks a broad applicant pool with the goal of engaging a new, diverse generation of coastal geologists and modelers. Students from minority-serving institutions or who identify as BIPOC (Black, Indigenous and people of color), Latinx, LGBTQ+, or first-generation college students will have priority during the selection process.

Title: "Monitoring Earth's Dynamic Surface: Unveiling Climate-Induced Phenomena and Volcanic Activities through Long-Period Global Seismic Waves in the Context of Environmental Seismology"
Piero Poli
Application deadline: 21st of November
Contact: piero.poli@unipd.ithttp://mailto:piero.poli@unipd.it
Project Summary:
The Earth's surface is undergoing rapid and profound changes, many of which are directly linked to climate change. These transformations are particularly evident in remote regions like Greenland and Antarctica, where the effects of a warming planet manifest dramatically. Rapid glacial movements, which can trigger
destructive tsunamis and seiches, along with extraordinary underwater volcanic eruptions in places such as Mayotte and Tonga, showcase the growing urgency to understand these climate-induced events and their potential risks. Seismic waves, generated by both climate-driven processes and volcanic activities, are a powerful tool for unlocking the complex physical mechanisms behind these events. Environmental seismology is uniquely positioned to provide real-time insights into the impacts of climate change and the mitigation of related risks by continuously monitoring seismic activity on a global scale.
In this PhD project, we will harness 30 years of continuous global seismological data to identify new signals linked to climate and volcanic phenomena. By focusing on long- period global seismic waves, we aim to pinpoint and catalogue previously unrecognized events associated with significant surface changes, such as glacial mass shifts and volcanic eruptions. Furthermore, through advanced physical modeling, we will explore the dynamics of these events, estimating critical parameters such as the mass of ice involved and the forces driving these processes.
Ultimately, this research will significantly enhance our understanding of the Earth's surface dynamics in the face of accelerating climate change and the growing risk of volcanic hazards. By identifying key seismic signals and modeling their impacts, we contribute vital knowledge to mitigating climate-related risks and improving preparedness for future environmental challenges.

Piero Poli
Postdoctoral Fellow, Jackson School of Geosciences, University of Texas at Austin
The Jackson School of Geosciences at the University of Texas at Austin invites highly motivated applicants to fill a postdoctoral fellow position to assist with the interpretation of multispectral thermal infrared data of prescribed fires as part of a larger project on active fire (hot spot) detection, fire propagation modeling, 3D plume characterization, and assessing environmental impacts of fires (fire effects). The aim of the project is to quantify the thermal and gas emissions from prescribed fires in 3D in near real-time using thermal infrared spectroscopy. This will help determine relationships between fire intensity and vegetation change, with the goal of predicting the gas emissions from prescribed and wildland fires. The postdoctoral fellow will join a team developing novel thermal infrared imagers for UAV deployment to characterize thermal and gas emission from wildland fires. Responsibilities will include (but not limited to) data collection, gas retrieval algorithm development, and thermodynamic modeling of wildfires, and evaluating vegetation change based on fire severity. The position requires the integration of multiple geophysical datasets and interpretations, and the development of new concepts and methods to automate the processing of field data in near real-time to provide insights to wildland fire commanders regarding thermal and gas dynamics, burn intensity, rate of spread, and fire effects. Review of applications will start on December 1, 2024 and will continue until the position is filled. Degree must have been earned within the last 3 years from date of hire. For more information and to apply, see: https://utaustin.wd1.myworkdayjobs.com/en-US/UTstaff/job/Postdoctoral-Fellow---Wildfire-Science-and-Technology_R_00035495, or contact James Thompson at james.thompson@beg.utexas.edu
USGS Mendenhall Postdoctoral Research Opportunity on Earthquake Sequences
USGS Mendenhall Opportunity 23-19: Earthquake sequences and how they evolve: Underlying physics, statistical properties, and impacts on hazard forecasts
Earthquakes are well-known to cluster in space and time, evolving as sequences of events. Earthquake clustering models underly critical USGS products such as the National Seismic Hazard Modelhttps://www.usgs.gov/programs/earthquake-hazards/hazards (NSHM) and Operational Aftershock Forecastshttps://earthquake.usgs.gov/data/oaf/overview.php (OAF). Despite this broad tendency towards clustering, sequence evolution varies dramatically from region to region and sequence to sequence. And because earthquake sequences can occur in populated areas, they inspire public interest as well as possible anxiety stemming from uncertainty around what may happen next. Earthquake sequences and how they are treated in seismic hazard forecasts therefore represent an important target for further research, both scientifically and societally.
We seek a Mendenhall Fellow to conduct research into earthquake sequence evolution and how it may vary, to forecast seismic hazard and communicate earthquake activity across many timescales. Topics could include earthquake sequence physics and/or statistics, near-real-time characterization, temporal and spatial variations on seismic hazard forecasts, and implementing research into model updates.

PhD/MS Positions in Oceanography at University of Connecticut
The newly formed Polar Acoustics Lab<https://nam04.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fsites.google.com%2Fview%2Felizabethweidner%2F&data=05%7C02%7Cwstevenh%40vt.edu%7C7a5cd28598a8487ed75908dce16abae1%7C6095688410ad40fa863d4f32c1e3a37a%7C0%7C0%7C638633097252318575%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C0%7C%7C%7C&sdata=%2FBo9NaERMIeXryhiwZN1VtE48WlgT3oVt9t6heavNSA%3D&reserved=0>in the Department of Marine Sciences at the University of Connecticut is recruiting MS and PhD students for the fall 2025 semester. The lab uses a combination of active acoustic observations (echosounders), in-situ measurements (CTDs, water sampling) and theoretical acoustic scattering models, to characterize changes occurring in high-latitude coastal waters.
We are recruiting for two projects to start in fall 2025:
Exploring ice-ocean dynamics related to glacial retreat
Global warming is accelerating the retreat of glaciers across the globe. Some of the most poorly understood processes associated with glacial retreat are those at the ice-ocean interface. This project will be part of a larger lab effort to study marine-terminating glacier dynamics. The student will have the opportunity to collect acoustic data in the field and develop a research focus associated with glacial ablation dynamics through an acoustic lens. The student will help the lab develop a better understanding of dynamics and interconnected processes occurring in a climatically sensitive region, working with international collaborators.
The impact of low-oxygen conditions on predator-prey interactions
Hypoxic (low oxygen) and anoxic (devoid of oxygen) bottom waters are a growing concern in many coastal regions, impacting local ecosystems and economies. This project aims to understand the impact of low-oxygen bottom waters on fish distribution in the Baltic Sea, specifically exploring the potential separation of predator and prey populations. Building upon work done by the lab mapping out the extent of low oxygen waters, the student will explore the local fish populations and dynamics through acoustic analysis. The student will develop any understanding of bio-physical interactions in a changing coastal environment and have the opportunity to work with collaborators in Sweden on this project. ?????
A successful candidate would have a background in oceanography, acoustics or related field, such as physics, earth science, applied mathematics, civil/environmental/mechanical engineering. Candidates will ideally have a strong interest in field-based research and a familiarity with a coding language or willingness to develop coding skills. Experience with acoustics is a plus but not required! Students accepted into the UConn Marine Sciences program are guaranteed support for 2-5 years depending on the degree sought.
Interested students should email Dr. Weidner (e.weidner@uconn.edu) with the subject line "Prospective PhD student in Marine Sciences at UConn" and include their CV/resume, information on their background (education, coursework, relevant previous research or work experience), and a description of how their interests align with the lab's research (website<https://nam04.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fsites.google.com%2Fview%2Felizabethweidner%2F&data=05%7C02%7Cwstevenh%40vt.edu%7C7a5cd28598a8487ed75908dce16abae1%7C6095688410ad40fa863d4f32c1e3a37a%7C0%7C0%7C638633097252330397%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C0%7C%7C%7C&sdata=7z%2FiEZknUzNmLpc8kmOenKHtGqWjVcfAcWr6JHbjhN8%3D&reserved=0>).

We seek areas of research and teaching that contribute to the advancement of process-level chemical understanding of hydrogeologic systems and their dynamics, combining observation, analysis and modeling. Areas of interest may include, but are not limited to, surface water-groundwater interactions, riparian areas, Critical Zone processes, catchment hydrology, and aquifer/confining unit dynamics.
The distribution of effort will normally be 40% Research, 40% Teaching, and 20% Service.
Research Focus: The successful candidate will be expected to develop an internationally recognized research program that integrates field observations of organic and/or inorganic hydrogeochemistry with analysis and modeling across scales, from mineral surfaces to catchments. The University of Arizona offers a rich environment for interdisciplinary collaboration, providing the candidate with extensive opportunities to engage with water-related strengths within HAS and other departments (e.g., Sustainability Mining and Mineral Resources, Natural Resources and the Environment, Geosciences, Environmental Sciences, and Chemical and Environmental Engineering), and research centers (e.g., Indigenous Resilience Center, Arizona Institute for Resilience, and Biosphere 2) across campus. In addition to these academic collaborations, the candidate will have the opportunity to participate in our institution?s renowned applied and engaged research approach.

Teaching & Service: Successful candidates will be expected to participate in the teaching and service missions of the department. Ideal candidates will demonstrate strong communication, teaching and leadership skills, as well as an ability to actively contribute to our vibrant department. A strong commitment to Graduate and Undergraduate teaching and advising is essential, as the supervision of students and academic advising of trainees at all levels is expected.

As a Hispanic-serving institution, we translate these values into action by seeking individuals who have experience and expertise working with diverse students, colleagues, and constituencies. Because we seek a workforce with a wide range of perspectives and experiences, we provide equal employment opportunities to applicants and employees without regard to race, color, religion, sex, national origin, age, disability, veteran status, sexual orientation, gender identity, or genetic information. As an Employer of National Service, we also welcome alumni of AmeriCorps, Peace Corps, and other national service programs and others who will help us advance our Inclusive Excellence initiative aimed at creating a university tha
t values student, staff and faculty engagement in addressing issues of diversity and inclusiveness.
