Dear Cryolist Community,
Two fully funded PhD positions are available at the Antarctic Research Centre, Victoria University of Wellington, in collaboration with GNS Science and the British Antarctic Survey to explore ice core data-constrained modelling efforts to improve our understanding of Antarctica’s contribution to sea level rise during the last interglacial warm period. The candidates will be part of the new National Modelling Hub and will have access to excellent technical support, high-performance computing, statistical modelling, climate models, and mentorship from senior researchers. The two study topics focus on:
- Assessing Antarctic environmental change and ocean-ice-atmosphere interactions during the last Interglacial using data-constrained Earth system models (Supervisors: Liz Keller and Nancy Bertler)
- Reduced Antarctic ice volume and sea ice during the last interglacial: The RICE ice core and climate modelling with isotopes (Supervisors: Louise Sime and Nancy Bertler). It is anticipated that this PhD project will be hosted for the first 12-18 months by the British Antarctic Survey in Cambridge, UK, and the remaining time at Victoria University of Wellington and GNS Science in Wellington, New Zealand.
More information can be found here. Applications close on 30 April 2021.
We would be grateful if you could forward this information to potential candidates.
Interested candidates are encouraged to contact the relevant researchers:
Liz Keller (L.Keller@gns.cri.nz)
Nancy Bertler (Nancy.Bertler@vuw.ac.nz)
Dr Louise Sime would also like to draw your attention to the related EU-DEEPICE Climate-Ocean modeller PhD studentship https://www.bas.ac.uk/jobs/vacancy/climate-ocean-modeller-deepice-2/ (short deadline 31th March)
