Dear all,
we are searching for a PhD student, please circulate this job posting to your colleagues and students that might be interested.
GEOMAR division “Dynamics of the Ocean Floor” is offering a
PhD position
for three years, starting at January 1, 2013. The PhD project will be part of the „Earth System Knowledge Platform“ (ESKP), funded by the Helmholtz Association.
Description:
The project is focused on volcanic hazards; and we strive for advancing knowledge in the field of eruption prediction, time series of eruption precursors, trigger mechanisms and risk evaluation. The planned research includes integration of both new and existing geochemical data with records of processes that took place prior to medium-size to large explosive eruptions, whereby the aspects of the temporal evolution and process rates play a key role. Field expeditions e.g. to Latin America or Iceland are intended. In addition to the scientific work, the position includes communication of scientific findings with respect to early warning and risk evaluation to the general public.
Required Qualification:
- Master's degree (or equivalent) in a geoscientific field
- Background in volcanology, petrology, statistics, hazards
- Availability to participate in field campaigns
- Ability to work in a team
- Good communication skills
- Languages: fluency in English (written and spoken) is necessary, additional European language skills are an advantage
We seek a candidate with ideas and initiatives. Applicants are invited to create a short project proposal (1-3 pages) outlining motivation and research interest within the topics given above.
