hire of three new, coordinated positions at UAA in the areas of
landscape ecology/hydrology, information visualization, and systems
modeling with the expectation of providing a cluster of expertise that
enhances interdisciplinary research. The successful candidate will be
involved in interdisciplinary research supporting the Alaska EPSCoR ACE
program, and will form the nucleus of faculty in the EPSCoR supported
Center for Adaptation of Northern Social Ecological Systems. The

- Glaciated North Atlantic Margins seeks PhDs and Postdocs
Marine and Glacial Geology
Up to 15 PhD and postdoctoral positions are available with the Glaciated
North Atlantic Margins (GLANAM) project. The positions will be based at
various institutions affiliated with the GLANAM program.
The scientific goal of GLANAM is to determine the controls on the
development, in time and space, of glaciated continental margins.
Research objectives will focus on the role of different
glacial/non-glacial sedimentary processes in shaping the glaciated North
Atlantic margins; the extent, timing, and rates of decay of marine-based
ice sheets; the influence of ice ages on hydrocarbon systems; the
influence of climate change and sedimentary processes on the fluid flow
(and gas hydrate) system; and to identify the controlling factors and
the role of submarine mass movements (with resulting tsunamis) on the
glaciated North Atlantic margins.
All posts will be located at one of the partners institutions: the
University of Bergen, the University of Tromso, the University Centre in
Svalbard, North Energy Exploration, Durham University, the Scottish
Association for Marine Science, the University of Ulster, and the
Denmark and Greenland Geological Survey. Recruitment is open for up to
15 posts with closing dates through March and April 2013.
Details of individual posts can be found at the partner institutions; a
full list of links and posts is available at: http://org.uib.no/glanam/.
