Dear Colleagues,
We invite applicants for a 4-year fully funded PhD position based at the Department of Physical Geography & Geoecology, Charles University, and the Czech Academy of Sciences Geophysical Institute, Prague.
The project: ‘Unveiling the First Great Eurasian Ice Sheets’ will set out to apply a newly developed set of dating tools to unveil the history of the first major glaciations in Eurasia.
The advisory team will comprise: John Jansen (Czech Academy of Sciences), Martin Margold (Charles University), and Mads Faurschou Knudsen (Aarhus University).
The candidate will be involved with 1) collecting field samples at sites stretching from NW to NE Europe, 2) laboratory analysis, 3) mathematical modelling with cosmogenic nuclides, and 4) presentation of results at international conferences. A significant period will be spent at Aarhus University, where candidates will develop skills in modelling and the art of preparing samples for cosmogenic nuclide analysis.
Applications are invited from those with interests in glacial geomorphology and Quaternary sciences. Applicants should hold a Master’s degree or be in the final year of their studies and be able to present their Master’s degree at the beginning of their PhD candidature.
The starting date is 1st Oct 2021, and remuneration will be competitive, allowing for a good standard of living in Prague.
