PhD Research Fellow in Geological Evolution and Structural Dynamics
3 days ago
The University of Bergen invites applications for a PhD position in Geodynamics and Surface Processes. The successful candidate will be part of a research project focusing on the 3D evolution of foreland fold-and-thrust belts, links between deposition, salt/shale tectonics and climate, including orography: southern Andes.
Project DescriptionThis PhD project aims to quantify and model the 3D evolution of the southern Andes foreland fold and-thrust belt. The structural style of the foreland fold and thrust belt (FTB) as observed in the external parts of the Andes shows significant along-strike variability in width, structural style, and topography that appears linked to pre-existing structure (i.e., the so-called broken foreland and extensional inheritance), to variations in available shale and/or salt decollements, and to variable sediment input.
The relative importance of these controls, the consequence for 3D variations in FTB structure, and how the resulting topography controls sediment routing systems are unclear. The main aim of this project is to understand how pre-existing structures, distribution of decollement horizons and climate-driven short- and long-term changes in sediment input control the 3D evolving FTB structure and associated sediment routing systems.
We will complement the data compiled by DC8 and create a 3D structural and stratigraphic framework for selected cross-sections along the Andean foreland (Year 1). We will combine this with high-resolution coupled 3D forward tectonic surface process models and test the role of lateral changes in decollement horizon rheology and of temporal variations in erosion and sediment transport on evolving FTB structure (Year 2 and 3).
Qualifications and Skills- A master's degree or equivalent education in Tectonics/Geodynamics/Geophysics or submitted thesis for assessment prior to the application deadline.
- Background and research interest in quantitative earth science required.
- Training in numerical model use and development or quantitative approach to geological data handling required.
- Documented basic programming skills in Python, Matlab, or another programming language required.
- Experience with geodynamic modeling an advantage.
- Experience in landscape evolution modeling an advantage.
- Experience with the tectonics of orogens an advantage.
- Experience in foreland fold and thrust belts an advantage.
As a PhD Research Fellow, you must participate in an approved educational programme for a PhD degree within a period of 3 years. The deadline for applying for admission to the PhD programme at The Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences is after you start your position or after the start of the research project that will lead to the PhD degree.
What We Offer- A salary as PhD Research Fellow (code 1017) in the state salary scale, approximately NOK 540 500 per year, depending on qualifications and seniority.
- Enrolment in the Norwegian Public Service Pension Fund.
- Good welfare benefits.
