[ES_JOBS_NET] fully-funded graduate student opening on Greenland melt mapping at Boise State (start Jan 2022)

[Ellyn Enderlin]

Hello all,

The Cryosphere Geophysics And Remote Sensing (CryoGARS) group at Boise
State University has an opportunity for a graduate student to conduct
NSF-funded interdisciplinary research that aims to further understand and
map freshwater fluxes from Greenland. The research will incorporate a
variety of remote sensing datasets to develop next-generation estimates of
iceberg discharge, melt rates, and freshwater fluxes to Greenland's fjords
and coastal regions. The project also incorporates outreach and science
communication activities, including working with an artist to develop
iceberg imagery to inspire the public and iceberg melt demonstrations for
grade-school students. Research will be performed in collaboration with Dr.
Twila Moon at the National Snow and Ice Data Center and Dr. Dustin Carroll
at Moss Landing Marine Laboratories. Through this work, the student will
gain expertise in glaciology, coastal oceanography, and working with both
observations and numerical models.



We seek a student who is excited to engage in collaborative,
interdisciplinary research while completing a graduate degree in
Geophysics, Geoscience, or Scientific Computing. Student background may
include degrees from a wide range of topics, including but not limited to
computer science, physics, applied mathematics, geography, oceanography,
and earth sciences. The professional development of the student will be
supported through a variety of research and engagement activities. The
fully-funded student position is available starting as early as January
2022 and applications will be evaluated as they are received. Applications
must be submitted through the university’s graduate application portal
<https://www.boisestate.edu/graduatecollege/howtoapply/>. We welcome and
encourage applicants with backgrounds historically underrepresented in STEM
and Earth Sciences. Note that graduate programs in the Department of
Geosciences at Boise State do not require or consider GRE scores in
admissions. Check out the Boise State Graduate College
<https://www.boisestate.edu/graduatecollege/>, as well as the Department of
Geosciences <https://www.boisestate.edu/earth/degrees/graduate/> and PhD in
Computing <https://www.boisestate.edu/computing/> program websites, for
information about the university and graduate degree programs.


Please contact Dr. Ellyn Enderlin (ellynenderlin at boisestate.edu) for more
information about the available position and/or to set-up an informal
remote interview. Additional information about the CryoGARS Glaciology
Group can also be found at https://sites.google.com/site/ellynenderlin/home.
