A funded PhD project is available through the School of Environment, at the University of Auckland (UoA), which will contribute to the ‘Putting the Pacific Ocean to the litmus test’ project, funded by the Royal Society of New Zealand Marsden Fund. The broad aim of the Marsden project is to reconstruct millennial-scale records of past ocean pH in the Pacific Ocean from tropical corals using geochemical techniques.
This PhD project will be focused on the construction of coral chronologies using carbonate petrography, mineralogy, X-radiography and U-series dating, and the construction of palaeo-climate proxy records from O and C stable isotopes and trace element analyses. The project would suit someone with experience in coral reef geomorphology, palaeo-climate reconstruction, and/or trace element and isotope analyses. Field experience in reef or marine environments would be beneficial, as the student will be required to take part in extended field campaigns in remote parts of the Pacific.

6.Graduate student assistantship
The University of Maryland Center for Environmental Science (UMCES) is seeking a highly motivated doctoral or master’s student interested in interdisciplinary research in agro-ecosystems. This new project focuses on water management and greenhouse gas fluxes at a farm on the Delmarva Peninsula. Our team of researchers (http://research.al.umces.edu/~davidson/ and http://www.hpl.umces.edu/gis_group/) will be studying the impact of water table management through drainage on greenhouse gas fluxes (methane, nitrous oxide and carbon dioxide), on nitrate and phosphate leaching, and on socio-economic returns for farmers and society. We seek a student who will focus mostly on micrometeorological measurements of nitrous oxide and methane fluxes and who will contribute to the integrated team effort of this project.

8.Two Faculty Positions in Volcanology (tenured or tenure track)
The Department of Earth Sciences (formerly Geological Sciences) is seeking outstanding scientists to fill two new open-rank faculty positions beginning Fall 2017 as part of a newly funded Center for Volcanology and Volcanic Hazards. Appointment can be at any rank from tenure-track assistant professor to tenured full professor. We seek applicants who investigate eruption precursors, volcano deformation, conduit processes, magma fragmentation, plume behavior, and/or the transport and deposition of tephra through the use of remote sensing, geodesy, and theoretical, experimental, or numerical modeling approaches. We anticipate filling at least one of the two positions at the assistant professor level, so junior candidates are strongly encouraged to apply. The potential for establishing a vigorous independent research program in volcanology and active participation and excellence in teaching at the undergraduate and graduate levels will be the most important criteria for selection. A Ph.D. is required, and postdoctoral experience is preferred for applicants at the assistant professor level. We seek candidates who will complement our existing strengths in volcanology, petrology, geochemistry, seismology, geodynamics, and surface processes.

9.Assistant Professor in Geodesy (tenure-track)
The Department of Earth Sciences (formerly Geological Sciences) at the University of Oregon invites applications for a tenure-track faculty position commencing Fall 2017 with a focus on the use of geodetic techniques to study surface and subsurface Earth processes. We seek a dynamic scientist who investigates one or more areas related to change detection of geologic and environmental processes. Techniques may include GPS, InSAR, terrestrial, airborne, or satellite LiDAR, radar altimetry, gravity, or other methods. We are particularly interested in candidates who study natural hazards, cryospheric processes, tectonics, geomorphology, or hydrogeology. Expectations for the position include: 1) establishing an active, externally funded research program, 2) supervising and mentoring graduate and undergraduate students, and 3) teaching courses at the undergraduate and graduate levels that contribute to and expand our core and major curriculum. Competitive candidates will complement existing strengths that include: surface processes, fault mechanics, coastal oceanography, and cryosphere processes, as well as major departmental initiatives in volcanology and earthquake early warning.
