📚 PHD OPPORTUNITY: 'Incorporating ecological modelling into 3D simulations of marine growth on man-made structures' ⭐ An exciting PhD opportunity, jointly funded by the University of Aberdeen Development Trust and The National Decommissioning Centre and in collaboration with the Scottish Association For Marine Science is now OPEN for applications. 🌊 The PhD research aims to better understand the consequences of marine growth on man-made structures to assess structural integrity and environmental impact to inform decision making for the commissioning of offshore renewable technology, decommissioning of installations and the installation of artificial reef structures. 🔎 A part of the project will involve the use of the #ukndc's state-of-the-art marine simulator to create simulations of marine growth on structures for example 'wrapping' marine growth onto a variety of structure types. 💻 The PhD candidate should hold a degree in a biological based subject and will be expected to produce practical outputs which may include tools for stakeholder engagement, best practice guidelines and assessment of biodiversity net gain targets. ➡ Please follow this link for more information - http://abdn.io/Be Kate Gormley marcin kapitaniak Dr Alethea Madgett CLOSES 13 May.

Announcement of several fully funded positions in PhD and PostDoc for Fall 2025, Stony Brook University, New York, USA🇺🇸 ➡️ Air Quality ➡️ Air Pollution ➡️ Climate Change ➡️ Energy Transition ➡️ Environmental Policy We are looking for 1-2 PhD students and 1 postdoc scholar! 👇 https://lnkd.in/dnchuig5 My research studies air pollution and climate change, their interconnections, their impacts on humans and societies, and how to design effective policies to address these sustainability challenges. My group uses observational data, statistical, and atmospheric modeling to study the impacts of air pollution and climate change on humans and society, and policies that could address these challenges. Currently we work on 1) the impacts of wildfires on air quality and human health in the context of historical and future climate change, 2) the influences of climate change on air pollutant emissions, atmospheric compositions, and resulting health effects, and 3) the effects of energy transition and climate policies on pollutant emission, air quality, and human health. https://mhqiu.github.io/ https://lnkd.in/dbQ_5rjw

Two (2) Ph.D. Positions at the University of Nevada-Las Vegas 1)  PhD in Climate Adaptation Science to address pressing climate-driven issues facing the Southwest, such as wildfire, managing freshwater, managing for aridification, extreme weather and climate, wildlife, and climate and environmental justice. The PhD student would pursue independent research focused on addressing such issues, likely to involve some combination of ecophysiology, field sampling of disturbed forests, dendroecology, and ecological modelling. The student would have the opportunity to develop their own research and also participate in synthesis efforts across the Southwest as part of the Southwest Climate Adaptation Center (SWCASC, https://lnkd.in/gjqGmvm4). 2) PhD in Memory effects in forest carbon cycle to quantify memory and legacy effects in tree growth. The PhD student would quantify the magnitude and duration of climate legacies on tree growth and carbon fluxes across National Ecological Observatory Network (NEON) sites in the western US. A major focus of the position is linking dynamics in tree rings to those in NEON flux tower records. The student would have the opportunity to participate in field sampling of tree rings, processing and measurement of tree cores, and potential visits with collaborators at NAU, UCLA, and NASA-JPL. Bayesian modelling of carbon cycle processes is a major component of the project, but the student would have the opportunity to develop their own research. Applications due Dec. 15th through UNLV Graduate College: https://lnkd.in/gUqNqW_Z Candidates should email [email protected] describing their interests in the position and relevant experience, including a CV. I can answer questions about the position and provide details on how to apply. Or see https://lnkd.in/gdfFHGuZ. See attached for details. Lab: https://lnkd.in/gSiWqUcq #forest #climate #ecology

🏗️ Calling All Anthropologists, Sociologists, Biologists, and Beyond: Help Solve the Future of Built Environments with a PhD or Postdoc 🔍 Are you interested in pursuing an industrial PhD? Or do you know someone who are? We invite researchers to explore our new applied science network "Towards a Regenerative Built Environment" (REGEN) and join us in challenging norms and advancing the built environment. 🌍 To tackle the pressing challenges of our time in the built environment, we need unprecedented collaboration. That’s why we are calling on not only architects, engineers, and urban planners, but also anthropologists, sociologists, biologists, economists, environmental scientists, geologists, and more to join REGEN. REGEN supports 10-15 industrial research projects from various companies and research institutions. We welcome PhD as well as postdoc applicants - and call on municipalities, companies, and organizations to help tackle significant challenges in the built environment that is responsible for 1/3 of all CO2 emissions. This initiative is facilitated by our Science Forum and sponsored by Innovation Fund Denmark and Realdania, aiming to bridge industry and academia to develop solutions for regenerative construction. 📝 Applications for industrial PhDs and postdocs are open now until 12 September 2024. Reach out to Jacob Rask, Programme Director, today to learn more and join our network of innovators: [email protected] Read more about the background and how to apply here: https://lnkd.in/dqqYk7Ur Jacob Rask, Ditte Lysgaard Vind, Alberte Skriver, Simon Kofod-Svendsen #RegenerativeBuiltEnvironment #IndustrialPhD #Innovation #ScienceForumBLOXHUB
