1 <p>The Department of Geoscience, Aarhus University, Denmark, invites 2 applicants for a two-year post-doctoral position in numerical modelling 3 of meltwater erosion under ice sheets as part of the ongoing project 4 "Dynamical modelling of subglacial meltwater erosion during past and 5 future glaciations". The work revolves around building a numerical 6 model of subglacial channelized drainage over soft beds, simulating the 7 formation of tunnel valleys, and predicting the dynamics of erosion 8 processes under the future ice sheets. The study will be utilizing a 9 detailed geological model of parts of northern Germany, at the outskirt 10 of the Scandinavian Ice Sheet during major Quaternary glaciations. The 11 project is carried out in collaboration with the Department of Geology, 12 Leibniz University Hannover, Germany.</p> 13 14 <p>The ideal candidate has a strong background in one or several disciplines 15 including geoscience, glaciology, hydrogeology, numerical methods, and 16 high performance computing. Interest in quantifying geological processes 17 and experience with numerical modelling are essential. The applicants 18 must have a Ph.D. in either geoscience/geology, applied mathematics, 19 physics, computer science, cryosphere research, or a related field by 20 the time of appointment. The position is funded by the Bundesgesellschaft 21 für Endlagerung, Germany.</p> 22 23 <p>The application must be received by December 31, 2022 and the position 24 is to be occupied by May 1, 2023 for a period of two years.</p> 25 26 <p>See more information about the position and application process <a 27 href="https://geo.au.dk/en/about-geoscience/vacancies/job/post-doctoral-position-in-modelling-subglacial-meltwater-erosion">here</a>. 28 29 <p>Please do not hesitate to <a href="contact.html">contact me</a> or 30 <a href="mailto:jan.piotrowski@geo.au.dk">Jan Piotrowski</a> with any 31 questions that might arise.</p>
