About the Project

The University of Bergen is seeking a PhD Research Fellow to work on a project focused on the 3D response of active rift evolution to surface processes in the Corinth Rift system, Greece. The project aims to quantify and model the 3D response of active rift evolution to surface processes, using high-resolution data on the tectono-stratigraphic evolution of the Corinth Rift.

Main Objectives
  • Understand how progressive shifting of depocenters towards the present Gulf feedbacks into rift fault formation and migration
  • Investigate how inheritance and surface processes control 3D rift fault growth, linkage, and stratigraphic architecture
Methodology

The project will use coupled 3D forward tectonic surface process models of an actively evolving rift, constrained by existing high-resolution data on the tectono-stratigraphic evolution of the Corinth Rift. The DC will test how the evolving 3D extensional fault network is affected by short and longer-term changes in climate-driven erosional efficiency.

Qualifications and Personal Qualities
  • Master's degree in Tectonics/Geodynamics/Geophysics or equivalent education
  • 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
Working Conditions

The fellowship will be for a period of 3 years, with the possibility for a 4th year, consisting of 25% compulsory work distributed over the employment period. The 4th year is contingent on the qualifications of the candidate and the teaching needs of the department.
