A two and half year postdoc based at Aberdeen
University working on distributive fluvial systems is available. It will
involve extensive fieldwork. Details at the following link.
"The
Department of Geology & Petroleum Geology seeks a suitably-qualified and
experienced individual to undertake research on distributive fluvial systems
(DFS). The project aims to develop a predictive model of DFS based on remote
sensing imagery and outcrop studies.
Research will focus on outcrop based studies in various parts of the
world and will involve building 3D models of different aspects of DFS. These will be ‘ground-truthed’ using datasets
derived from remotely sensed imagery and modern day systems. The successful candidate will work with
Professor Adrian Hartley. The position
is part of a larger project: the Fluvial Sedimentology Research Group (FSRG), a
collaboration between Dr. Gary Weissmann and Dr. Louis Scuderi (UNM,
Albuquerque) and Professor Adrian Hartley (Aberdeen) and involves research
students based in Albuquerque. The PDRF
will have responsibility for liaison between the members of the group and sponsors,
overseeing aspects of project data collection and analysis, and in the
production of reports and journal papers.
The successful candidate is expected to carry out short- and long-term
fieldwork campaigns (US, South
America) and to produce maps, sedimentary logs and reports, and will also use
the remote sensing laboratory in Albuquerque. The researcher will form part of a thriving
research group on modern and ancient fluvial systems within the Department of
Geology and Petroleum Geology at Aberdeen.
We require a
relevant PhD and experience in sedimentary geology and/or geomorphology. Candidates
should ideally have a background in fluvial sedimentology and/or geomorphology
although sedimentologists with experience in other clastic depositional systems
will be considered. Experience of field
work in difficult terrains including data collection in clastic sedimentary
systems and familiarity with remote sensing techniques would be an advantage. A PhD is required before appointment."
