Please consider the following ad for a 3-4 year PhD position at the Dept of Geosciences, Univ. Oslo, Norway.
http://uio.easycruit.com/vacancy/1630163/64289?iso=no
The fellowship will be for a period of 3 years, with a possible 1 year extension for teaching at the department, dependent on the qualifications of the candidate and the needs of the department.
The aim of the project is to test the relevance of cryo-hydrologic warming for rapid mobilization of formerly stagnant parts of poly-thermal glaciers. This mechanism is to be implemented into a glacier modelling framework, preferably Elmer/Ice and will be tested in a case study. Austfonna, Svalbard has been intensely investigated by the glaciology group and a >5year time series of surface velocities (GPS) will guide a forward simulation of the surge history. Research stays of the candidate at the collaborating institutions LGGE (Olivier Gagliardini) and CSC (Thomas Zwinger) are anticipated.
Deadline for applications: 31 May 2016
