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.

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.

*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:

Please share this with anyone who may be interested in applying.

Interested applicants should get in touch with me directly for further information and guidance on how to apply. Best wishes,

Paula

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.
