The Paleoclimatology and Sedimentology Laboratory in the Department of
Earth Sciences at IUPUI invites applications for an NSF-funded Ph.D.
graduate assistantship in tropical paleoclimatology starting Fall 2022. The
successful candidate will be advised by Dr. Broxton Bird and work closely
with other faculty in the Department of Earth Sciences as well as with
colleagues from collaborating institutions. The project will specifically
focus on the sedimentological and geochemical analysis of sediment cores
collected from Lake Tota, a large tectonic lake in the eastern Colombian
Andes. The objective of the project is to reconstruct Holocene effective
moisture variability in the northern tropical Andes and investigate its
relationship with long-term and abrupt changes in radiative forcing.



Previous experience with field and laboratory lake-sediment-based
paleoclimate reconstruction is a plus, but not required. Candidates with
diverse backgrounds, experiences levels, and/or from traditionally
minoritized groups are especially encouraged to apply.



Interested candidates should contact Dr. Broxton Bird (bwbird at iupui.edu)
and provide their CV, research statement/statement of interest, and
unofficial transcript(s). Scientific writing examples may also be included.
Internal review of applications will begin November 1st with a
departmental graduate
application deadline of January 15th.


Applicants for whom English is not the first language, or who have not
undertaken their degree studies with English as the language of
instruction, must attain a satisfactory English language test score (TOEFL).
