I’d like to advertise the following PhD positions, some of which may be of interest to current undergrads or Master’s students studying geodesy, neotectonics, or hazards.
Apologies for cross-posting.
PhD positions for the South-East Asia Sea-Level (SEA2) program
The Earth Observatory of Singaporehttps://earthobservatory.sg (EOS) and the Asian School of the Environmenthttps://ase.ntu.edu.sg/ (ASE) at Nanyang Technological Universityhttps://www.ntu.edu.sg/, Singapore are seeking PhD students to join the Singapore Government funded South-East Asia SEA-Level (SEA2) program. This is an international, multi-institutional and trans-disciplinary program that will push scientific frontiers to observe, reconstruct and model the regional processes of sea level from instrumental and proxy data.
SEA2 has identified five specific objectives to meet the challenge of understanding global and regional sea-level rise, extreme sea levels and their potential impacts:
1. Solid Earth contributions to sea-level change, in particular modeling of tectonic effects and/or observation of groundwater related subsidence, using geodetic data (PI: Associate Prof Emma Hillhttps://earthobservatory.sg/research-group/geodesy-group-emma-hill)
2. Paleo sea-level change, in particular reconstructing changes in sea level and land level at multiple time scales over the Holocene, using geological proxy data (PI: Assistant Prof Aron Meltznerhttps://www.earthobservatory.sg/research-group/geology-earthquakes-and-sea-level-aron-meltzner)
3. Extreme sea levels, in particular hydrodynamic modeling of tides, storm surges and river flooding in coastal environments and geospatial analysis in coastal areas (PI: Associate Prof Adam Switzerhttps://www.earthobservatory.sg/research-group/coastal-lab-adam-switzer)
4. Projections of future sea-level rise, in particular probabilistic sea-level projections and local to regional components that drive sea-level rise (PI: Professor Ben Hortonhttps://www.earthobservatory.sg/research-group/sea-level-research-benjamin-horton)
5. Risk-based flood impact projection, in particular the multi-scale modeling of exposure, vulnerability and resilience of coastal cities and regions (PI: Assistant Prof David Lallemanthttps://www.earthobservatory.sg/research-group/disaster-risk-and-resilience-analytics-lab-david-lallemant)
There are two intakes of PhD students, in January 2021 and in August 2021. The deadline for the submission of applications is 31st July for the January intake, and 31st January for the August intake. We strongly encourage those interested to contact potential faculty advisors prior to applying.
Graduate Scholarships include a competitive stipend, tuition, and benefits, and are 4 years in duration. Interested students should apply by following the instructions at ASE website (https://ase.ntu.edu.sg/programmes/phd/prospective-students/admissions) and indicate your interest in working with one or more of the PIs in your application.
Post-doctoral positions for the South-East Asia Sea-Level (SEA2) program will be advertised shortly.
