About the Project

The University of Bergen is seeking a highly motivated PhD Research Fellow to join our team in the Department of Earth Science. The successful candidate will be part of a research project focused on the 3D evolution of foreland fold-and-thrust belts, with a specific emphasis on the southern Andes.

Research Objectives
  • To quantify and model the 3D evolution of the southern Andes foreland fold and-thrust belt.
  • To investigate the links between deposition, salt/shale tectonics, and climate, including orography.
  • To develop a 3D structural and stratigraphic framework for selected cross sections along the Andean foreland.
Qualifications and Requirements
  • A master's degree or equivalent education in Tectonics/Geodynamics/Geophysics.
  • Background and research interest in quantitative earth science.
  • Training in numerical model use and development or quantitative approach to geological data handling.
  • Documented basic programming skills in Python, Matlab, or another programming language.
  • Experience with geodynamic modeling, landscape evolution modeling, and/or tectonics of orogens is an advantage.
What We Offer
  • A 3-year PhD research fellowship with the possibility of a 4th year.
  • A salary as PhD research fellow (code 1017) in the state salary scale.
  • Enrolment in the Norwegian Public Service Pension Fund.
  • Good welfare benefits.
How to Apply

To apply, please submit your application, including a cover letter, mobility declaration, CV, transcripts and diplomas, relevant certificates/references, and a list of any works of a scientific nature/publication list.
