[ES_JOBS_NET] PhD Position in the Climate & Cryosphere research group, Arizona State University, School of Ocean Futures, Fall 2025

[Laura Larocca]

The Climate & Cryosphere research group at Arizona State University, within
the School of Ocean Futures, is inviting applications for a fully funded
PhD position to begin in Fall 2025. Broadly, our group uses geologic
records (e.g., lake sediments and glacial landforms), alongside historical
and space-based observational data, to investigate how the Earth system
responds to natural and anthropogenic forcings. We place a particular
emphasis on understanding the long-term climate and environmental history
of the Arctic, and how the Arctic cryosphere (e.g., mountain glaciers, ice
sheets, lake and sea ice) evolves and interacts with other components of
the global climate system under sustained warming. Much of our work is
inherently cross-disciplinary and involves field-, lab-, and
computing-based research. As a group, we also value service and creative
communication of climate science to broad audiences.



*Preferred qualifications *(applicants should have at least some of the
following):

   - *Educational background:* Bachelor or Master of Science degree in
   climate science, glaciology, geology, Earth science, or a related
   discipline.
   - *Research experience:* Some prior experience in field, lab and/or
   computational research is preferred. For example, experience in Geographic
   Information Systems and software (e.g., ArcGIS, Google Earth Engine), and
   remote sensing is favorable.
   - *Technical skills:* Some prior experience in programming languages
   such as Matlab, Python, and/or R.
   - *Communication skills:* Strong oral and written communication
   abilities.
