Hi everyone,
We are looking for a doctoral student to be part of a team working in China
on problems of sediment sourcing and erosion. Please forward this to any
students you know who might be interested and qualified. The degree would be
in Natural Resources and we are planning to take a student who can work
independently and has field and lab experience. In addition, the project
will involve mentoring of undergraduates. For those reasons, we are inclined
to accept a student who has completed a Masters degree or was an older
undergraduate or has had work experience.
All the best,
P.
We are recruiting a PhD student in Natural Rresources at the University of
Vermont to be supervised by Paul Bierman (UVM) and Amanda Henck Schmidt
(Oberlin College). The student will be working on a collaborative project
with Bierman, Schmidt, colleagues at Sichuan University, undergraduate
students from Oberlin College, and Dylan Rood at the University of Glasgow.
The project is an NSF-funded project that investigates the long-term effects
of land clearing and climate change on sediment supply to rivers using
isotopic fingerprinting techniques. It and will involve two field seasons
in western China.
The graduate student working on this project will primarily be responsible
for the meteoric and in situ 10Be analyses; Oberlin College undergraduate
will be responsible for analysis of the short-lived radionuclides. The PhD
student will also be responsible for conducting land-use analysis and
experimental design using GIS prior to each field seasons. Field work will
take place during summer 2013 and summer 2014 and will include the PhD
student, Schmidt, two Oberlin undergraduates, and a graduate student from
Sichuan University. The first season will focus on extensive and detailed
sample collection in a few watersheds for which we have long records of
sediment yield. The second season will be a broader trip that visits the
sites of all sediment gauging stations the Chinese operate in the region to
collect samples.
In addition to spending two summers in the field in China, the PhD student
will spend one semester in residence at Oberlin College mentoring
undergraduate students, learning the short-lived radionuclide analysis
techniques, and helping to teach classes. Therefore, we are interested in a
student who is curious excited about working at a small liberal arts college
and is excited about mentoring undergraduate students. The Rubenstein School
of Natural Resources at the University of Vermont requires a one- month
teaching practicum and it is possible that this practicum will be completed
while the student is in residence at Oberlin.
We are particularly interested in students who are excited about
international collaborations, undergraduate education, quantitative
geomorphology using isotopic techniques, human-landscape interactions, and
GIS/remote sensing. Please contact Paul ([email protected]) or Amanda
([email protected]) if you are interested and we can provide you
with more information.
