BACKGROUND
The ELD programme currently conducts research in remote sensing/GIS,
glaciology, isotope geochemistry, soil science, and periglacial
geomorphology, with the major geographical emphases in cold regions. At
present we are engaged in research projects spanning the whole
Quaternary Period, but new projects will focus preferably on the late
Quaternary and/or climate scenarios for the future. The research focuses
on questions regarding the cryosphere's future development and we expect
to be strongly involved in these questions during the coming years.
POSITION SPECIFICS
This is principally a research appointment in the area of environment
and landscape dynamics but will also involve some undergraduate and
post-graduate teaching within the framework of the ELD programme. This
includes supervision of both undergraduate and graduate students.
Teaching duties at the undergraduate level are limited to a maximum of
20% of the appointment. The successful applicant will contribute to the
programme's activities and strategic goals, principally through
numerical temporal and spatial modeling of environmental and climate
change impacts upon the cryosphere, both past and present, and how the
cryosphere, in turn, modulates these changes.
Appointment Period: The position can be held for a maximum of 4 years.
