OVERVIEW
Applications are encouraged for a 4-year PhD student position focusing
on modeling future sea level rise from the retreat of glaciers outside
Greenland and Antarctica. The objective is to model the changes in
annual glacier volume based on the most recent temperature and
precipitation scenarios as defined by General Circulation Models or
Regional Climate Models, and to translate these changes into sea level
changes. The project is a modeling study based on available data sets.
However, opportunity is given to participate in mass balance related
field work at the Tarfala Research Station in northern Sweden.
POSITION SPECIFICS
The position is based in the glaciology/hydrology group at the
Department of Physical Geography and Quaternary Geology at Stockholm
University. The project is in collaboration with Professor J. Oerlemans
at Utrecht University, Holland, and some visits at his department are
envisaged. The 4-year PhD program includes roughly 3 years of thesis
work and one year of course work. The position may be extended by up to
one year if up to 20% teaching assistance is included in the contract.
There is no tuition. The starting salary is 2470 USD per month.
ELIGIBILITY
We seek a dedicated candidate with a degree in atmospheric/geoscience,
natural science, civil engineering, or other relevant subjects including
university level mathematics and physics. Modeling and programming
experience is desirable. The starting date is negotiable, but preferably
as soon as possible and not later than 1 June 2004.
